A groom has been hailed a "legend" for his well-timed exposé of his cheating partner. In an episode of the popular podcast, The Unfiltered Bride, wedding planners Georgina and Beth shared the shocking story of how one man got the ultimate revenge on his wedding day. Georgie recalled the story allegedly told by a third party. She explained: "[The] groom stands up and says ‘Just before I like properly get started, there’s envelopes coming round now, if you could all open them up." He then went on to reportedly tell the guests: "'Yeah, those are pictures of the bride f***ed the best man, so I’ll be leaving now.'" The man then reportedly stormed out with his family.

"Karma is a b****, the best man as well!" @the.unfiltered.bride Karma is a b*tch ? #bridepodcast #theunfilteredbride #weddingtok #toptipswedding #wifey #celebranttips #bridechat #podcastclips #weddingadvice #weddingsoftiktok #bridesmaids #bridaldilemmas The official podcast account shared the snippet to TikTok where it racked up almost a million views and hundreds more comments from people in disbelief. One fellow TikToker joked: "Imagine the other guests just sitting there like ... 'So ... will there still be cake or ...'" "Life is all about timing! What a legend," another chimed in, while a third commented: "Well, I'm getting a big slice of cake, taking my gift card back, and heading out." It comes after a scientist from the University of Oxford revealed the key signs that your partner could be cheating on you. Among the hints are social media secrets, new vanity and avoiding speaking about a specific person. He went on to suggest that men "want more partners for the sake of having more partners." The desire apparently comes from "evolutionary benefits in our ancestry." Have your say in our news democracy.

In the ‘Unfinished Fable of the Sparrows’, a group of small birds come up with a plan to capture an owl egg and raise the chick as their servant. “How easy life would be,” they say, if the owl could work for them, and they could live a life of leisure. Despite warnings from members of their flock that they should first figure out how to tame an owl before they raise one, the sparrows devote all their efforts to capturing an egg. This tale, as its title suggests, does not have an ending. Its author, Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom, deliberately left it open-ended as he believes that humanity is currently in the egg hunting phase when it comes to superhuman AI. In his seminal work on artificial intelligence, titled Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, the Oxford University professor posits that AI may well destroy us if we are not sufficiently prepared. Superintelligence, which he describes as an artificial intelligence that “greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest”, may be a lot closer than many realise, with AI experts and leading industry figures warning that it may be just a few years away. On Monday, the creator of ChatGPT echoed Professor Bostrom’s 2014 book by warning that the seemingly exponential progress of AI technology in recent years means that the imminent arrival of superintelligence is inevitable – and we need to start preparing for it before it’s too late. OpenAI boss Sam Altman, whose company’s AI chatbot is the fastest growing app in history, has previously described Professor Bostrom’s book as “the best thing I’ve seen on this topic”. Just a year after reading it, Mr Altman co-founded OpenAI alongside other similarly worried tech leaders like Elon Musk and Ilya Sutskever in order to better understand and mitigate against the risks of advanced artificial intelligence. Initially launched as a non-profit, OpenAI has since transformed into arguably the leading private AI firm – and potentially the closest to achieving superintelligence. Mr Altman believes superintelligence has the potential to not only offer us a life of leisure by doing all the majority of our labour, but also holds the key to curing diseases, eliminate suffering and transforming humanity into an interstellar species. Any attempts to block its progress, he wrote this week, would be “unintuitively risky” and would require “something like a global surveillance regime” that would be virtually impossible to implement. It is already difficult to understand what is going on inside the ‘mind’ of AI tools currently available, but once superintelligence is achieved, even its actions may become incomprehensible. It could make discoveries that we would be incapable of understanding, or take decisions that make no sense to us. The biological and evolutionary limitations of brains made of organic matter mean we may need some form of brain-computer interface in order to keep up. Being unable to compete with AI in this new technological era, Professor Bostrom warns, could see humanity replaced as the dominant lifeform on Earth. The superintelligence may then see us as superfluous to its own goals. If this happens, and some form of AI has figured out how to hijack all the utilities and technology we rely upon – or even the nuclear weapons we possess – then it would not take long for AI to wipe us off the face of the planet. A more benign, but similarly bleak, scenario is that the gulf in intelligence between us and the AI will mean it views us in the same way we view animals. In a 2015 conversation between Mr Musk and scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson, they theorised that AI will treat us like a pet labrador. “They’ll domesticate us,” Professor Tyson said. “They’ll keep the docile humans and get rid of the violent ones.” In an effort to prevent this outcome, Mr Musk has dedicated a portion of his immense fortune towards funding a brain chip startup called Neuralink. The device has already been tested on monkeys, allowing them to play video games with their minds, and the ultimate goal is to transform humans into a form of hybrid superintelligence. (Critics note that even if successful, the technology would similarly create a two-tiered society of the chipped, and the chipless.) Since cutting ties with OpenAI, the tech billionaire has issued several warnings about the imminent emergence of superintelligence. In March, he joined more than 1,000 researchers in calling for a moratorium on the development of powerful AI systems for at least six months. That time should then be spent researching AI safety measures, they wrote in an open letter, in order to avert disaster. It would take an improbable consensus of leading AI companies around the world, the majority of which are all profit-seeking, in order for any such pause to be impactful. And while OpenAI continues to spearhead the hunt for the owl’s egg, Mr Altman appears to have at least heeded the warnings from Professor Bostrom’s fable. In a 2016 interview with the New Yorker, he revealed that he is a doomsday prepper – specifically for an AI-driven apocalypse. “I try not to think about it too much, he said, revealing that he has “guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water [and] gas masks” stashed away in a hideout in rural California. Not that any of that will be much use to the rest of us.

'When I found out what happened, that she was abandoned at the age of 13 alone in an apartment, I was simply shocked,' Anna Gava said

Chandler Bing basically invented sarcasm, in the eyes of millions. And yet, the beloved Friends character was not so much played by Matthew Perry as he was Matthew Perry. According to the star, who passed away on Saturday, when he first read the script for the iconic sitcom, he felt as though someone had followed him around for a year, stolen his jokes, and perfected his “world-weary yet witty view of life”. Some of the show’s funniest lines were delivered by the American-Canadian actor, whose expert delivery helped seal them into the annals of comic writing. Now, in the wake of Perry’s tragic and untimely death at the age of 54, indy100 has rounded up Chandler’s most memorable, and side-splitting, quotes: 1. Could I be... OK, admittedly this isn't a single quote, but Chandler's intonations became catchphrase-worthy in themselves, as tributes to Perry confirm: 2. "I'm not great at the advice... can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?" 3. "Hi, I'm Chandler. I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable" 4. "And yet I never run into Beyoncé" 5. "And I just want a million dollars!" 6. "Was that place the Sun?" 7. "What did I marry into?" 8. "I’m sorry, we don’t have your sheep" 9. "I tend to keep talking until somebody stops me" 10. Sure... where? Chandler had the last word in the last ever episode of Friends. And it couldn't have been more perfect... Of course, if you really want to absorb yourself in the genius that was Chandler, you can watch one of the countless compilations that have been created on YouTube and X/Twitter.
