Activists gathered outside the OpenAI offices on Monday during climate week in New York City On Monday evening, protesters gathered outside the unmarked Manhattan offices of OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, holding signs calling to “Eat the rich, save the planet”. Over the next two days, groups also picketed outside the offices of fellow tech giants Google and Amazon; other protesters, including clergy, were arrested while disrupting a closed-door AI health summit in the city. Tonight, protesters will target a Brooklyn gas power plant that was set to close – until it was purchased to power AI datacenters. The protests come on the heels of an Anthropic employee quitting his job with a warning that intensified an already-growing AI panic: “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Continue reading...

NEW YORK: The first time Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to prison, reporters, advocates and the curious public crammed the courtroom to witness the disgraced Hollywood honcho’s #MeToo reckoning. Hours later, the world began shutting down as the COVID-19 pandemic raged. Now, after an overturned conviction and two retrials, Weinstein is set to be sentenced again on Wednesday for one of the same crimes - more than six years after his first sentencing in March 2020. Weinstein, 74, faces up to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting a one-time TV production assistant, Miriam Haley, at his Manhattan apartment in 2006. He has already served more than six years as his case has cycled again and again through the criminal justice system. Haley gave her account of the assault at two trials. "The unthinkable was happening,” Haley testified last year, dabbing her eyes. Haley, who has also gone by the name Mimi Haleyi, is planning to speak at Weinstein’s sentencing, her lawyer, Gloria Allred, said. Weinstein will also address the court, his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said. The Oscar-winning "Pulp Fiction” and "Shakespeare in Love” producer was originally sentenced to 23 years in prison after a jury convicted him of assaulting Haley and raping an aspiring actress, Jessica Mann, in 2013. But New York’s highest court erased those guilty verdicts in 2024, ruling that Weinstein was prejudiced by testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case. Tried for a second time last year, Weinstein was again convicted of first-degree criminal sex act for assaulting Haley. After another retrial ended in a hung jury in May, Manhattan prosecutors dropped the rape charge rather than pursue a fourth trial after Mann said she could not bear to testify again. That decision cleared the way for Weinstein’s sentencing. Manhattan prosecutors have said they will ask for 20 years in prison - which would keep him behind bars until at least his late 80s. Weinstein’s lawyers haven’t said what sentence they’ll seek. He denies raping or sexually assaulting anyone. Once he’s sentenced, he can appeal. "I will be proven innocent. That I promise you,” Weinstein told The Hollywood Reporter in a jailhouse interview in March. Weinstein is also awaiting resentencing in a separate rape case in Los Angeles. A California appeals court upheld the 2022 conviction but threw out his original 16-year sentence because the judge had considered his New York convictions that were later thrown out as an aggravating factor. After shuffling between state prison, where he tested positive for COVID-19 early in the pandemic, and New York City’s notorious Rikers Island complex, the ailing Weinstein is now housed at a medical unit for jail inmates at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. His health issues in recent years have included chronic myeloid leukemia, diabetes and walking difficulties that necessitate a wheelchair to get in and out of court, his lawyers said. Two years ago, he underwent emergency surgery to remove fluid on his heart and lungs.

As Manhattan continues to experience supernatural unexplained incidents, IGN has been sent a video secretly leaked by an anonymous source at the FBC, the Federal Bureau of Control. Kept hidden from the public for decades, the FBC’s main charter is to investigate so-called "paranatural phenomena." Knowledge of their existence only came to light when the formerly secret government department released a public information campaign on how to stay safe from paranatural forces. The subject line of the leaked video’s accompanying email reads: “Ignore the FBC. We are doomed.” Shot on a mobile phone on Thomas Street, the footage appears to show a number of figures levitating and surrounded by a red light emanating from various skyscraper windows. Sources with former ties to the FBC claim these incidents are caused by the Hiss, a hostile paranatural entity that corrupts human minds and represents a significant threat to the entire population of NYC. The video’s authenticity is further supported by witness statements who claim to have seen the phenomenon firsthand. Michael Bamber, 33, a clerical worker with the NYC Port Authority, said: “I was walking to the subway when red started appearing everywhere. But I didn’t just see red, I could hear it, smell it even. It was crazy.” Another witness, Cherry Connor, 27, a deputy administrator for City Hall, said: “I was just leaving work when people started floating up into the air. They kept on making these strange sounds, like they were chanting something. Then the woman right next to me started making them. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and then she just took off, right off the ground. Then I started running. Everyone around me was screaming. It was horrible.” Sources close to the 911 switchboard reported a massive spike in emergency calls during the phenomenon’s appearance and local hospitals were flooded with people suffering from hysteria and injuries caused by the sudden stampede of onlookers from the area. This event is the latest in a series of paranatural phenomena that has wreaked havoc on Manhattan. However, when asked for comment, the FBC completely denied the appearance of the Hiss and blamed the apparent sighting on a mass hallucination. An FBC press officer said: “Hallucinations are very common and we believe that the recent bout of mass hysteria that New Yorkers have experienced has caused a mass hallucination. The Hiss are not in fact in Manhattan. Remember - no matter what you see, just trust the FBC. Thank you.” In response to the FBC’s comments, Mr Bamber, the eyewitness to the Thomas Street incident, said: “The FBC are talking out of their f**king ass. Mass hallucination?! Bullshit! I saw the whole thing. People need to wake up. This is f**king serious.” If you have witnessed the Hiss or any of the strange phenomena in Manhattan, please contact IGN. We want to hear your story.
