Man dies after being struck by lightning while on honeymoon in rare phenomenon
Jake Rosencranz, 29, had been on a delayed honeymoon with his wife Leah at the time of the incident, with two other people also struck nearby despite it being a clear, sunny day A man has died after being struck by lightning while on his honeymoon in Florida, despite clear weather at the time of the rare and fatal weather phenomenon. Jake Rosencranz, 29, was standing ankle-deep in the water at New Smyrna Beach, near Daytona Beach, when he was hit by lightning on Friday afternoon, according to Volusia County Beach Safety officials. Emergency responders performed CPR on the scene before rushing him to hospital in critical condition. Despite efforts to save him, Jake was pronounced dead the following day. The newlywed, who was visiting from Colorado, had been in Florida to celebrate his wedding with his wife, Leah. Local authorities said the strike occurred suddenly and without warning, on what appeared to be a mostly sunny day. The rare phenomenon has been called a "bolt from the blue", which is a cloud to ground lightning strike that appears to come out of a clear sky, hence the name. Following the incident, the Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said: 'Saying a prayer for this young man and his wife. They were visiting our beaches to celebrate their marriage. In one terrifying second everything changed.' After Jake's death was confirmed, the sheriff added, 'At 29 years old, he should have had many more anniversaries with her for years to come.' Minutes before the lightning struck Jake, two people playing golf nearby were also indirectly affected by a lightning strike, though neither required hospital treatment, the local fire department confirmed. Jake's death marks the fourth lightning-related fatality in the United States this year, according to the National Lightning Safety Council. Florida consistently records the highest number of lightning strike deaths in the country, with the National Weather Service citing its frequent thunderstorms and large population as contributing factors. The NWS office in Columbia, South Carolina, had issued a Special Weather Statement about five minutes before the lightning strike warning that a strong thunderstorm was heading for western Lexington County with lightning and gusts to 50mph. Jake's loved ones have since launched a GoFundMe to support his widow Leah "who will be navigating life without her husband and best friend." The fundraiser adds: "During this difficult time, we are looking to financially support Leah as she deals with medical bills and other implications in the wake of the loss of Jake." So far, over $139,000 (£101,000) has been raised.

Watch: Cowboy Hat-Wearing "Jake The Rizzbot" Interacts With People
A talking robot has astounded both - the Austin residents and the online community - with its mastery of Gen Z and Gen Alpha vocabulary. Meet Jake the Rizzbot, a child-sized AI-powered robot, which is operated using a wireless controller. Fitted with a silver chain and a fake cowboy hat on its head, the machine has "IN TRAINING" printed on its chest. Videos of Jake interacting with people at The Domain in downtown Austin and North Austin have surfaced on social media. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jesse Hernandez (@jesseh7203) The bot tried to jog down pavements and even chatted to amazed onlookers and impressed Austin residents with his "rizz." On the recent test run, Jake's owner was excited to show off his newest device and enjoyed informing onlookers that they "might get to see it faint" when Jake's battery began to run low. "Hey! I'm Jake, but you might know me better as Rizzbot. It's nice to meet you," Jake said in a viral video, before immediately launching into the laudatory adulation. "You look clean, nephew. That moustache is hard and that beard is cold, ma homie. That white t-shirt is amazing, and that black wristwatch is completely frosted out," Jake added. The bot used several Gen Z and Gen Alpha words, saying, "You've got that badass energy G, that clean drip locked down, and you're rocking it in style. Props to you, you are a solid boss 'fo real." People on the internet were astounded by Jake's flicks, and some were even concerned about the implications of bots like him for the development of artificial intelligence. "More like glaze bot holyyy," one user commented. "Jake always been a chill guy," a second comment read. "The first iteration of the terminator," said one. The robot stands at four feet tall and weighs 170 kg. It was created by China-based Unitree Robotics, which debuted the Unitree G1 humanoid agent in May, as per The NY Post. The Unitree website states that the price is approximately $16,000 (almost Rs 13.7 lakh), although it frequently varies. The robot is intended to function as an "AI avatar" that grows "based on deep reinforcement learning and simulation training."

Slick-talking, cowboy hat-wearing robot dubbed ‘Jake the Rizzbot' spits Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang, leaving strangers gobsmacked
The Wild West meets Wall-E. A slick-talking, cowboy hat-wearing robot, unofficially named 'Jake the Rizzbot,' stunned both Texas locals and the Internet with its proficiency in both Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang while out on the town last week — even inspiring a Bitcoin in its honor. The child-sized, AI-powered robot — complete with a knockoff cowboy hat and silver chain — was captured on video all around Austin, Texas during its training out in the wild. The little engine did its best to jog down sidewalks and even talked to awed passersby, while spitting the latest slang, clips shared online show. 3 Jake the Rizzbot was captured on video galavanting through Austin, Texas last week. Storyful Jake left no stone unturned as it galavanted through Austin. The robot, which is operated by a person through a wireless controller, is manufactured by the China-based Unitree Robotics. The Unitree G1 humanoid agent was originally unveiled last May, clocking in at 4 feet tall and 77 pounds. It sells for around $16,000, but prices often vary, according to the Unitree website. The robot is meant to serve as an 'AI avatar' that develops 'based on deep reinforcement learning and simulation training,' according to the company website. Jake is thankfully still learning and, despite his name, isn't able to pick up ladies at the bars just yet. Still his 'rizz' impressed Austin locals enjoying the nightlife last week. The man who owns and operates Jake accompanied it on the test run. He was eager to show off his latest gadget and wasn't bothered when Jake started to run out of battery, instead telling people that they 'might get to see it faint.' 3 Jake is a Unitree G1 humanoid agent that sells for around $16,000. Storyful 'Hey! My name is Jake, but perhaps better known as Rizzbot. It's nice to meet you,' Jake began in a video captured by a man it encountered, before diving straight into the typical lauding praise it's known for. 'Ma homie, that beard is cold and that mustache is hard, you look clean, nephew. Gee, that black smartwatch is straight iced out, and that white tee's bangin'. You got that clean drip locked down, you got that boss energy G, and you rockin' it with style. Props to you, you are a solid boss 'fo real,' the bot said, borrowing several terms from Gen Z and Gen Alpha. As videos of Jake went viral, people online were left gobsmacked — and even scared about what bots like it mean for the future of artificial intelligence. 3 The robot relies on a learning AI program to operate. 'Let it walk around the parking lot by Macy's I bet it will get robbed,' one user commented. 'It's all fun and games until the cowboy robot pulls out a machete,' one man wrote. Despite becoming a quick microcelebrity online, Jake doesn't have an official social media account. It's unclear who exactly owns the bot — the man who accompanied it in Austin hasn't been publicly identified — and why its AI has been trained to flatter strangers.
