A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

This is cool. There should be a law where if you ask a "person" who tweets or comments if they are a bot, they have to reply and tell you the truth.
Some states are passing new laws requiring artificial intelligence to be clearly labeled, especially in regulated industries or on high-stakes documents such as police reports. The labels are crucial for people who'd rather not use AI at all. n.pr/3JAjrzh
