Simon Bourke: Dystopian visions a reality as ChatGPT disobeys orders and Amazon employs new ‘man' with a van

It's not like we weren't warned. They've been telling us for years. Kubrick, Spielberg, Asimov, they all predicted this was coming. But we didn't listen. We just forged ahead, ignoring the blatant messages, the terror of HAL 9000, the replicants, the perfectly friendly android companions who'll murder you in your sleep.

Owen Farrell summoned by Lions after Elliot Daly ruled out of tour by broken arm

SYDNEY (AP) — Former England captain Owen Farrell was summoned by the British and Irish Lions to replace Elliot Daly on the tour of Australia on Thursday. Daly broke his left forearm on Wednesday in the 52-12 win over the Queensland Reds in Brisbane. 'It is heartbreaking for the group that Elliot's tour is over,' Lions coach Andy Farrell said in a statement. 'He is a Lions legend who has added so much to the group on and off the field over the past few weeks and over the course of three tours. 'Owen will now come in and add to our options and bring his own Lions experience to the group.' Owen Farrell will join his fourth tour, having played 18 times for the Lions, including six tests across 2013, 2017 and 2021. However, he hasn't played an international since leading England at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, after which he took a break from test rugby. He earned 112 England caps and is the team's all-time points record-holder. Owen Farrell also hasn't played any rugby in two months. He was concussed on May 4 while playing for Racing 92 in his last game for the French Top 14 side. He recently signed a new deal to return to his old English club Saracens. ___ AP rugby:
