Tyrese Haliburton's rehab will include wedding planning as he gets engaged to long-time girlfriend
The Indiana Pacers two-time All-NBA point guard posted pictures and video to his Instagram account Monday of his proposal this weekend to long-time girlfriend Jade Jones. The two met at Iowa State where Haliburton played his college ball and Jones was a cheerleader, so Haliburton carried out the proposal there at halfcourt of Hilton Coliseum.
Haliburton had the lights in the arena turned off but big light-up letters at center court spelling out "Will You Marry Me" with rose petals in front of the letters. He got down on one knee despite the fact that he's still in a walking boot. The scooter he's been getting around on is in the shot.
Haliburton also posted photos after the engagement of the two on campus. He captioned the post "The place where our story started and where our next chapter begins."

Dating expert reveals huge issue sparked by artificial intelligence — and what made it worse
A relationship expert has warned about the use of AI when it comes to emotional connection after a man was spotted treating ChatGPT like his lover. Blake Pavey, an Australian comedian, appeared on the On It Off It podcast and revealed he was on the train and noticed a man messaging ChatGPT 'like it was his girlfriend'. 'He was like, 'I've never been able to connect with somebody like you before'. It was like a massive paragraph,' he recalled. 'And I was like, that's so lovely — and then I saw it was a chatbot. I thought, 'That's really sad'.' He said the man was a decent looking, corporate guy, and he couldn't help but think it was 'pathetic' that he had to turn to artificial intelligence for human connection. 4 'He was like, 'I've never been able to connect with somebody like you before'. It was like a massive paragraph,' he recalled. AlexPhotoStock – 'You just made guys who fall in love with strippers cooler,' Pavey, 23, said. Samantha Jayne, a relationship expert, said what Pavey saw pointed to a much bigger problem when it comes to dating. 'People are losing the ability to connect with others. It all started with smartphones, social media, then Covid only made things worse,' she said. 4 Relationship expert Samantha Jayne weighed in on the issue. Instagram/samanthajaynedatingexpert She said the man Pavey saw on public transport potentially had a huge fear of rejection and a lack of trust — and he knew that AI wouldn't reject him. 'It is very common to see people connecting with AI as if they are connecting with a human to meet their needs for connection, intimacy, companionship and emotional support,' she said. 'You only have to look at movies such as Her, where a man falls in love with his AI. 'Theodore Twombly, voiced by Joaquin Phoenix, develops a relationship with Samantha, an AI assistant. While it meets his needs, ultimately it leads to heartache and deception, proving it is not a solution. 'Since the smartphone, many people have been connecting virtually through platforms and social media.' Jayne said there are pros and cons when it comes to artificial intelligence. One positive is that it can assist with conversation starters where people might normally become stuck. 4 Jayne said what Pavey saw pointed to a much bigger problem when it comes to dating. terovesalainen – It also helps with practicing texting. But the negatives include a lack of authenticity because when you eventually meet, the online persona is likely to be very different to the reality. She said it can also create deceptive profiles when too many enhancements are used. 'The biggest problem with AI dating is that it creates unhealthy, unrealistic expectations about real relationships,' she said. 'It can also cause too much investment in AI relationships and stunted development in real life relationships so yes, AI has the capacity to ruin human connections. 'It could be seen as the AI is just easier to correspond with and gives an immediate response so it could temporarily be the compilation of choice.' 4 Jayne said there are pros and cons when it comes to artificial intelligence. AFP via Getty Images When it comes to her own clientele, Jayne said she highlights that relying on AI is like 'riding a bike as an adult with your training wheels on'. 'There comes a point in your life where you take responsibility and grow to be a healthy adult who has a genuine relationship with self and others. Throw away the smartphone for a few hours and instead connect through eye contact, voice and physical touch,' she advised.

4-Year-Old Told To Wait 'One Minute'—No One Prepared for What He Does Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mother was left in fits of laughter after her young son gave a literal—and brilliantly tech-savvy—response to a phrase that parents everywhere have uttered countless times: "one minute." The moment, captured in a now-viral Instagram video posted by Zohra M. Khorashi (@thatlawyermomlife), has taken the internet by storm with over 54.6 million views and counting. The clip features Khorashi preparing food in her kitchen when her young son calls out from behind the camera asking for juice. Without missing a beat, Khorashi replies, "one minute." But, instead of waiting patiently or repeating his request, the boy calmly turns to Alexa and says, "Alexa, please put the timer on for one minute." Khorashi, caught completely off guard, bursts into laughter. The video, which has earned more than 2.4 million likes and thousands of comments, struck a chord with parents familiar with the common habit of loosely tossing around short time frames—"just a sec," "two minutes," "one minute"—that often turn into much longer waits. Viewers praised the child's wit and timing, with many remarking on how accurately he called out a parental tendency. From left: Khorashi looks at the bowl in the kitchen; and laughs. From left: Khorashi looks at the bowl in the kitchen; and laughs. Instagram/@thatlawyermomlife "The fact the kid wasted no time. So smart!" said one user, and another wrote: "Told my daughter last night 'we leave for the movies in 30 mins.' Her: 'ok mom, hey Siri set my timer for 30 minutes.'" Expert Insight: What Should Parents Say Instead? To explore what is really going on in such moments, Newsweek reached out to parenting expert Ana Aznar, a Madrid-born child psychologist and founder of REC Parenting, an online platform supporting parents and caregivers. "When kids are little, it does not matter what we say in these situations because they do not have a concept of time," Aznar said. "However, as soon as they understand time, if we tell kids to give us two minutes, they will give us two minutes because they do not yet understand that we use that phrase very loosely." Aznar added that unmet expectations can easily frustrate children. "If we tell them to give us two minutes, they expect us to be done in two minutes. And if we are not done, they will get frustrated and annoyed with us." To prevent misunderstandings, Aznar recommended more concrete or transparent communication. "It is much better to give them a precise time frame, e.g., 'Give me 30 minutes'; 'I will be done when the hand of that clock reaches 3'," Aznar said. "Or if we do not want to give them a time frame, we can tell them to go and play and, as soon as we are done, we will go and get them. In this case, the mum could have also told the child to help her cook and that she will give her the juice once they finish." Newsweek is waiting for @thatlawyermomlife to provide a comment.
