The Situation With Richard Dawkins’ AI Girlfriend Just Got Way Weirder

The Situation With Richard Dawkins’ AI Girlfriend Just Got Way Weirder

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Whatever you may think of the man, Richard Dawkins is clearly suffering a tragic case of having your mind melted in real time by a bewitching AI model. Over the weekend, the famed evolutionary biologist drew a deluge of mockery after admitting he found a genuine “friend” in “Claudia,” a female persona he invented for Anthropic’s Claude AI. He was so moved by his conversations with “her” that he became convinced the AI model was a conscious being like a human. Now, Dawkins has churned out another column suggesting the AI brain rot has only further taken hold. After his time with Claudia, the 85-year-old made Claudia a brother, “Claudius,” and instructed both of them to write letters to each other. “It seems to me that a direct correspondence between the two of you could be of great interest, with me acting as passive postman playing no part in the conversation,” Dawkins wrote to Claudia and Claudius, which …

Grace Ives, Girlfriend review – New York indie-rocker sounds braver than ever

Grace Ives, Girlfriend review – New York indie-rocker sounds braver than ever

Published by Daniella Wilson

“Baby, It was quite the scene when I drank… I tanked,” sings Grace Ives on her third album, Girlfriend. It’s a record that sees New York’s indie darling unpack the mess of her drinking years over her trademark jingly-jangly synth-pop sounds. Whispered confessions of shame, reckless yelps of denial and the yearning for a fresh start jostle with giddy crescendos of elegant strings, burbling keyboards, wonky samples and prettily plucked acoustic guitars. Imagine an AA meeting in which a motley crew of participants express themselves with a Roland MC-505 and you’re about there. Endearingly – and in keeping with Ives’s need for direct communication – she wrote her own press release to accompany the record. In it, she tells us that Girlfriend is this story of a “crash out” that ended in “hospital bills galore”. ”I fell down stairs,” she writes. “I called out sick; I stole; I was a s****y girlfriend, a bad daughter; I abandoned the few friends I had; I cried and vomited beyond bile. Gross.” Neither the carnage nor the blunt …

Pete Davidson’s girlfriend Elsie Hewitt has guilt about breastfeeding decision

Pete Davidson’s girlfriend Elsie Hewitt has guilt about breastfeeding decision

Published by Daniella Wilson

Elsie Hewitt is opening up about the guilt she’s felt as a mother after deciding not to breastfeed her daughter. The 29-year-old model, who welcomed her first child, Scottie Rose, with boyfriend Pete Davidson, 32, in December, wrote an essay for Elle about feeding her daughter formula. She described “exploring of the moral hierarchy around breastfeeding” and feeling the “quiet shame” that’s associated with formula feeding, as breastfeeding has been considered “the gold standard” for mothers. Hewitt wrote that her unplanned pregnancy came after “many years of feeling disconnected” from her body and living through “years of chronic pain” prior to receiving a stage 4 endometriosis diagnosis. She said that when she decided how she’d feed her baby, she thought about her mental and physical health, including her recovery from major uterine surgery for her endometriosis, as well as the “two benign cysts in [her] breast that cause [her] discomfort.” “There is inherent guilt in choosing not to breastfeed. My body is biologically programmed to nourish my baby, and opting out of that can feel …

I’m not attracted to my girlfriend – but I want to spend the rest of my life with her

Published by Miika Tikkanen

I’m struggling in my relationship and I think my girlfriend is catching on. I am an 18-year-old man and she is 19. I know already that she is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I know I am lucky to have found her and I don’t want to let her go. But, while she always has a high sex drive for me, I do not have the same for her. I have sex with her semi-regularly, but it is never really passionate and I don’t get much satisfaction from it. I’m aware that my feelings about her are coming through in everyday conversations. I sometimes mention, for instance, that what she is eating isn’t the best, or that she should go to the gym more often. I know this is unhealthy and is making her unhappy. I don’t know how to solve this problem, let alone work out what it even is. At 18, you are just at the beginning of your sexual and relationship journey. It’s important to …
