The tea house Corgan owns in Highland Park, Illinois was closed for the parade, so the Smashing Pumpkins singer and wrestling promoter was home when he started receiving texts there was an active shooter in the town he’s lived in for about 20 years.“It’s just this crazy land of like, should I go down there? Should I do something?” Corgan said. “I’ve heard all the stories now so I know a lot more about what happened. But in the moment, you don’t know what happened. All you know is there’s someone with a gun who just shot a bunch of people in Highland Park and is on the loose. You’ve entered this weird, crazy, shadowy world of, what has happened?”The 56-year-old Corgan — who is about to head to Australia for a tour that marries the Smashing Pumpkins and the National Wrestling Alliance — did find a way...Arrestan al hijo de una exempleada estatal de Florida por supuestas amenazas escolares

PARIS — France’s Digital Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said he thinks artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT doesn’t respect privacy laws, but argued against banning it, in an interview with La Tribune. “The Italian [data protection authority] first wonders whether ChatGPT complies with the GDPR. In my opinion, it does not. OpenAI [the company behind the chatbot] will probably have to make adjustments to its product, because the data processing for users is problematic,” he said. Asked whether France should follow the Italian regulator’s example and block the platform from operating, the minister replied: “No.” Barring the chatbot from offering services in France would not be up to the French government but rather up to data protection authority CNIL to decide. In Italy, ChatGPT was ordered last week by the privacy regulator to temporarily stop processing Italian users’ personal data over alleged violations of the General Da...Mass.
