"What The F**ck": People Are Losing Their Minds Over This Really, Really Bizarre AI Interview With A Dead Teenager From The Parkland Shooting
Former CNN host Jim Acosta faced backlash on Monday after sharing what he called a 'one-of-a-kind interview' with an AI version of Parkland school shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, a bot created by his parents to honor their son on what would have been his 25th birthday. The interview — shared to Acosta's SubStack page — depicts Oliver, one of 17 who died in the 2018 massacre, remarking on the cause of death and stressing why it's 'important' to talk about gun violence in schools. The AI — when asked for its 'solution' to gun violence — emphasized a need for a mix of stronger gun-control laws, mental health support and community engagement. Related: The bot of Oliver proceeded to speak in a noticeably higher tone before discussing the late teen's interests in the Miami Heat and Star Wars. Acosta — who declared that the technology left him 'speechless' — called the conversation 'so insightful,' telling the late teen's father, Manuel Oliver, that it felt like the first time he really got to know his son. 'I felt like I was communicating with him, which is just so remarkable,' Acosta said. 'People say, 'Well, AI, you know, it could be bad, it could cause all these destructive things.' This is an example of how it might actually do some good, it might help some people who have suffered tremendous losses like your family have a way to hold on to who this person was, which I think is a beautiful thing.' @JimAcosta Related: Manuel Oliver and his wife, Patricia Oliver — co-founders of the gun-control advocacy group Change the Ref — have been involved in other projects that demand action against gun violence, including a school shooting video game, a play and a site that uses AI to recreate victims' voices for calls to Congress. Manuel Oliver — in a video shared to X, formerly Twitter — acknowledged that the AI was his and his wife's idea, adding that Acosta shouldn't be blamed for 'what he was able to do' in the 'interview.' 'If the problem that you have is with the AI, then you have the wrong problem,' he said. 'The real problem is that my son was shot eight years ago. So if you believe that that is not the problem, you are part of the problem.' Related: While Acosta restricted those who could reply to his posts on X, it wasn't the same case on his BlueSky account, where a number of critics were stunned by the AI move. 'Hey Jim. Quick question. What the fuck is wrong with you,' replied one user. And, naturally, users on X had a lot to say regardless. Check out what users said on Bluesky and X below.

Kaden Honeycutt to fill in for injured Stewart Friesen during playoffs
Just a couple of weeks ago, this headline wouldn't have made any sense, and yet, it is happening.

Honeycutt is also bound for playoffs, sitting 73 points above the cut-line. While Christopher Bell will drive the No. 52 at Watkins Glen, Halmar-Friesen has announced a new partnership with Honeycutt for the rest of the 2025 season. Both will be be able to fight for the championship as a duo after one lost its driver and the other lost their ride. Stewart Friesen, Halmar-Friesen Racing Toyota Honeycutt's first race in the No. 52 will be at Richmond Raceway next weekend, which serves as the regular season finale for the NASCAR Truck Series.

"I know Kaden will deliver strong performance in our truck and allow us to continue to run for the owner's championship." Honeycutt has not yet win in the Truck Series, but he has been solid, currently sitting sixth in the championship standings.

Linamar's Hasenfratz urges Canada to hold the line on CUSMA amid rising tariff uncertainty
Linamar executive chair Linda Hasenfratz is urging Ottawa to defend the CUSMA trade pact, warning that any move to impose tariffs on auto parts could severely disrupt the industry's deeply integrated North American supply chain. Automakers have been hit hard by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war due to tariffs on exported vehicles and metals, which have negatively impacted their bottom lines. Yet, within the automotive industry, the vast majority of products crossing the border, particularly parts, are CUSMA-compliant and operating under zero duties. Still, there's a risk that could change. Hasenfratz, board chair of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, is urging the federal government to work hard to maintain the CUSMA agreement, warning that dismantling it would have a devastating impact on the economy. 'While its spirit and substance have been undermined by the Trump administration, the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement has thus far been key to Canada's perceived safety net,' said CIBC Capital Markets economist Avery Shenfeld. Canada's advantage from the CUSMA carve-out is only as strong as the agreement itself, which will lapse in 2026 unless all parties agree to renew it, he says. 'The cloud of uncertainty will hang over capital spending plans in a broad range of Canadian export sectors,' Shenfeld added, noting that Canada could lose its special exemption at any time. 'I still believe that if they put tariffs on parts, it would bring the industry to its knees because it's such an integrated supply chain of parts going back-and-forth the border multiple times,' Hasenfratz said. Trying to apply a tariff on each of those crossings would be enormously expensive, she says. After decades of free trade, trying to 'unscramble the eggs,' as many people have said, would be difficult, costly, and wouldn't create value, she adds. 'Let's address the concerns that exist and make sure that people are feeling comfortable with the trade agreement we have in any areas that are felt to be lacking,' Hasenfratz said. If CUSMA stays intact, Linamar stands to benefit as its customers look to onshore products currently sourced from Asia and Europe. With new international trade deals in place, clients are comparing tariff costs, and that's prompting many to consider localizing their supply chains. 'I see this as a real opportunity for us to potentially get some new business and we're quoting on such opportunities.' Hasenfratz is optimistic that Canada's automotive sector will remain a pillar of the economy. Suppliers, she notes, play an essential role and are poised for growth. She also believes Canada will continue to be a home for vehicle assembly due to its productivity, talent pool, and green, low-cost energy. These fundamentals are how one should decide where to manufacture, Hasenfratz says. 'Don't make long-term decisions on short-term tactics. Make long-term decisions on long-term fundamentals, and that's something Canada has in spades.'
