39 h. ago Tommy Fleetwood arrives at East Lake as relatable contender on verge of greatness

After a season of close calls the world No 10 has a chance to turn his drought into a career defining momentThe widespread euphoria that surrounded Rory McIlroy’s Masters triumph served as the finest example of a moment when golf observers want a player to win.

5 d. ago Did the system update ruin your boyfriend? Love in a time of ChatGPT | Arwa Mahdawi

Some people with AI partners expressed dismay at the new GPT-5 modelYou’ve met the love of your life; someone who understands you like no one else ever has. And then you wake one morning and they’re gone. Yanked out of your world, and the digital universe, by a system update.Such is the melancholic lot of a group of people who have entered into committed relationships with digital ‘partners’ on OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

In order to find herself on and off the tennis court, Raducanu has had to learn how to tune out the noise, which at times can be deafening.Only one month ago at Wimbledon, the discourse surrounding the 22-year-old reached diabolical lows.
