From street plays to TV success, Lisa McGee, the creator of Derry Girls, has launched her new show on Netflix called How To Get To Heaven From Belfast. The show combines her signature humor with a mysterious storyline as a group of women come together after the passing of their childhood friend. In an interview with Sky News, McGee expressed her love for murder mysteries, citing her childhood obsession with shows like Murder, She Wrote. She emphasized the importance of putting her own twist on the genre, making it female-led, comedic, and slightly chaotic. McGee’s storytelling roots trace back to her early days, where she would write and direct plays for her neighborhood to perform. She noted that even then, her stories had a darker undertone, possibly influenced by her upbringing in Derry during a time of conflict. Reflecting on her experiences, McGee shared how everyday occurrences like car checks by the army were normalized for her, but seemed shocking to others outside of Ireland. This realization inspired her to delve deeper into telling stories that shed light on her upbringing. With How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, McGee continues to explore her storytelling prowess, taking audiences on a new journey filled with mystery, humor, and female camaraderie.

Are the recent AI resignations a sign of impending danger for the world? | Updates on Science, Climate & Technology News Are the recent AI resignations indicating a global crisis? | Science, Climate & Tech News Even though they exit without much fanfare, their departure is often viewed as a significant sign. This week has seen several high-profile resignations. Mrinank Sharma, a researcher at Anthropic, a leading AI company, posted a resignation statement on social media on Tuesday, warning that «the world is in peril.» While Sharma did not explicitly state the reason for the world being in danger, he mentioned that the threat was not just from AI or bioweapons but from a combination of ongoing interconnected crises. This led many to believe that the existential risk posed by AI is on the rise. Zoe Hitzig, a researcher at OpenAI, also resigned this week, expressing «deep reservations» about OpenAI’s decision to introduce advertising to ChatGPT in an essay for the New York Times. She cautioned that ChatGPT could potentially manipulate individuals if their data was not adequately safeguarded. Additionally, two co-founders of xAI left their positions this week, along with several other staff members at Elon Musk’s AI company. xAI, known for its Grok chatbot, faced backlash for allowing the generation of nonconsensual sexualized images before taking corrective action. Although these departures have been viewed as a significant event, upon closer examination, they seem to have little in common.
When individuals typically resign from their positions, they may simply send an email to coworkers, organize a casual gathering at a local bar, and call it a day. However, in…
