(BASARNAS via AP)JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A predawn landslide triggered by torrential rains on Indonesia’s main island of Java killed at least eight people on Saturday and left 82 missing as rescuers struggled through deep mud, searching for survivors. Days of torrential rains had caused rivers to burst their banks, tearing through Pasir Langu village in West Bandung district of West Java province. Families living within 100 meters (yards) of the landslide zone were evacuated due to fears of further slope failures. In December, catastrophic floods and landslide struck Sumatra, Indonesia’s largest island, killing at least 1,200 people and injuring more than 7,000, the National Disaster Management Agency said. Last January, more than 20 people were killed after being swept away in floods and landslides after torrential rains in Central Java province.

John Dunleavy asks: Help me understand the idea of the coach reporting directly to the owner and not the GM. John Urbielewicz asks: My question is this, new coaches usually bring some players with them. If the Giants think Sauls is their answer, and I don’t know why they wouldn’t, it makes no sense to use a draft pick on another placekicker. Bob Donnelly asks: John Harbaugh (thrilled to have him) is described as a CEO style HC who relies heavily upon his coordinators. If John Harbaugh changes the organization for the better then Chris Mara will have had a lot to do with that.
(CNN) — Beware of the AI chatbot that becomes more than just a friend, or worse, an emotional crutch. Pope Leo XIV has warned about overly “affectionate” chatbots, urging regulation to prevent humans from forming serious emotional bonds with their AI companions. “As we scroll through our information feeds, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand whether we are interacting with other human beings, bots, or virtual influencers,” Pope Leo wrote on Saturday. In his latest message, the pope called for national governments and international bodies to take action in this area. Leo also called for clear distinctions between content generated by AI versus created by people, including journalists.

The private defense of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s actions comports with what Trump and members of his administration have said publicly. The president, at times sounding exasperated, held up mugshots of individuals he said had been arrested in his immigration crackdown. While the president has so far defended the agent involved in Saturday’s shooting, administration officials and Trump advisers acknowledged to CNN that the video was not cut and dry and the situation was still fluid.
