A Black Lives Matter T-shirt has caused a stir across TikTok – for obvious reasons. In a viral clip that's racked up almost two million views, TikToker Ashton (@ashray) shared an image of the bizarre top, which read: "Black Lives Matter." It was complete with a graphic of a coffee mug, reading: "But first, coffee" which implies coffee is more important than black lives. Ashton's reaction said it all: "What if I hit you with my f***ing car?" The clip was soon flooded with hundreds of gobsmacked users asking who in the right mind thought it was appropriate. "You just KNOW it was some Karen with a live laugh love aesthetic that pitched this," one person said, while another added: "Like what do you mean 'but firsttttttt'?" A third commented: "WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS OKAY????"

The garment features a pro-recycling slogan with the letter RE in upper-case, followed by four words: Cycle, Use, New, and Think. On closer inspection, the first letter of each of those words spells out a four-letter profanity. Twitter users were left in hysterics with one person tweeting: "Did they trash the shirts or recycle them?" Another was convinced the Walmart clothes designer knew exactly what they were doing, despite a spokesperson saying: "This was not intentional, and the t-shirt has been removed." People who managed to get their hands on the T-shirt before it was officially removed by the supermarket have since been selling them on due to high demand. Have your say in our news democracy.

OpenAI founder Sam Altman, whose company created the viral AI chatbot ChatGPT, announced on Tuesday that his firm had achieved human-level artificial intelligence, before claiming that he was “just memeing”. In a post to the Reddit forum r/singularity, Mr Altman wrote “AGI has been achieved internally”, referring to artificial general intelligence – AI systems that match or exceed human intelligence. His comment came just hours after OpenAI unveiled a major update for ChatGPT that will allow it to “see, hear and speak” to users by processing audio and visual information. Mr Altman then edited his original post to add: “Obviously this is just memeing, y’all have no chill, when AGI is achieved it will not be announced with a Reddit comment.” The r/singularity Reddit forum is dedicated to speculation surrounding the technological singularity, whereby computer intelligence surpasses human intelligence and AI development becomes uncontrollable and irreversible. Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom wrote about the hypothetical scenario in his seminal book Superintelligence, in which he outlined the existential risks posed by advanced artificial intelligence. One of Professor Bostrom’s thought experiments involves an out-of-control AGI that destroys humanity despite being designed to pursue seemingly harmless goals. Known as the Paperclip Maximiser, the experiment describes an AI whose only goal is to make as many paperclips as possible. “The AI will realise quickly that it would be much better if there were no humans because humans might decide to switch it off,” Professor Bostrom wrote. “Also, human bodies contain a lot of atoms that could be made into paper clips. The future that the AI would be trying to gear towards would be one in which there were a lot of paper clips but no humans.” Following Mr Altman’s Reddit post, OpenAI researcher Will Depue posted an AI-generated image to X/Twitter with the caption, “Breaking news: OpenAI offices seen overflowing with paperclips!”. OpenAI is one of several firms pursuing AGI, which if deployed in a way that aligns with human interests has the potential to fundamentally change the world in ways that are difficult to predict. In a blog post earlier this year, Mr Altman outlined his vision for an AGI that “benefits all of humanity”, while also warning that mitigating risks poses a major challenge. “If AGI is successfully created, this technology could help us elevate humanity by increasing abundance, turbocharging the global economy, and aiding in the discovery of new scientific knowledge that changes the limits of possibility,” he wrote. On the other hand, AGI would also come with serious risk of misuse, drastic accidents, and societal disruption. Because the upside of AGI is so great, we do not believe it is possible or desirable for society to stop its development forever; instead, society and the developers of AGI have to figure out how to get it right.” Read More ChatGPT AI is about to be eclipsed by ‘interactive AI’, DeepMind founder says Iranian officials mulling over use of AI to issue fatwas Spotify clarifies position on whether it will ban AI-powered music ChatGPT now has power to ‘see, hear, and speak’

McDonald's workers are seemingly over TikTok's latest Grimace Shake trend taking the platform by storm after one person shared the deadly silence when they ordered five of the viral drink. For the blissfully unaware, the popular fast-food chain released a limited-edition purple milkshake to celebrate the 52nd birthday of the purple character's birthday. TikTok users went on to do their thing by turning the beverage into a bizarre trend. Like most things online, it appears to have no purpose and is rather random – but still, it didn't stop the trend from taking off. In fact, #grimaceshake has racked up a staggering 142 million views on the platform and continues to grow. It sees consumers drinking the purple shake and then pretending to be poisoned to death with a decorative crime scene surrounding them.

The customer was heard asking whether the drink had to be ordered as part of a meal. When he discovered they could be ordered on their own, he asked for five. In response, the worker fell silent. "The silence was so loud," the on-screen text read. "McDonalds tired of this." One fellow TikToker commented: "I tried ordering it the other day and the lady said, "It's not stocked" while there was an ad, "Now Serving the Grimace Meal!" I just was silent." Meanwhile, another added: "No, because I ordered a Grimace Shake and the girl legit sighed in annoyance." @thattiredchonker Mcdonalds tired of this ? #fyp #grimace #grimaceshake #funny #silence #mcdonalds The chain have since responded to the trend with a lighthearted tweet. "Meee pretending i don't see the grimace shake trendd," the purple character wrote on the official McDonald's account. Have your say in our news democracy.
