Before dawn, you can observe up to 25 "shooting stars" per hour. This meteor shower is one of the brightest, making it highly visible in the night sky.

You can locate the constellation Orion, which will help you find the meteors, using an app like Sky Guide.

Ireland will start paying artists a monthly income of $1500 (₽120,000) simply for being in creative professions, as a universal basic income will be introduced in 2026.

Writers, designers, and musicians will also be eligible for this payment. The first phase of the program will include 2,000 participants. The aim is to support artists during periods of creative drought so they don't abandon their craft.

Just a hint, but a ticket to Ireland costs just over ₽10,000.

Blindness Overcome: Scientists have developed the PRIMA microchip to restore vision in people with retinal damage.

The device uses glasses equipped with a camera that transmits images to a wireless implant, which converts them into electrical impulses and sends them directly to the brain.

During testing, 26 out of 32 participants were able to read text, solve crossword puzzles, and even play cards again. One individual regained vision as perfect as before losing it.

The plot twist of the year: British Channel 4 released a one-hour documentary about AI — at the very end, the host revealed that she was created by a neural network.

No one suspected the substitution until Aisha Gaban confessed:

“AI will impact everyone’s lives in the next few years. Ultimately, some people will be out of work... Perhaps even television hosts like me. Because I don’t actually exist.”

The girl’s voice and appearance were generated; only the location footage was real, with her image overlaid onto those scenes.

You can watch the film for free here, but you will need a British IP address.

A Reddit user has made a neural network manage all of his savings and investments: GPT-5 is working as an analyst 24/7.

The model analyzes dozens of indicators in real time and automatically responds to changes. It can generate detailed reports or simply notify him when it's time to buy or sell assets.

The guy hasn't reported on the bot's financial successes yet, but you can read the thoughts of this Wall Street neural network in his Twitter.

Hundreds of characters from popular anime, movies, games, and series have gathered on a single space station. This project is the work of an artist known as 0x00.

For several years, he has been creating a massive interactive artwork filled with thousands of animations, and the project is only 54% complete. In addition to endless cameos, there are hidden Easter eggs: you can add your own animations or covers of any song.

Even AI is suffering from social media: training on viral posts has led to cognitive decline in several chatbots.

A few models, including Llama and Qwen, were fed a database of Twitter posts. As a result, reasoning quality dropped by 23%, long-term context decreased by 30%, and signs of psychopathy emerged in their responses.

The cognitive damage proved irreversible. Even retraining on clean, high-quality data did not help.

Draw your own conclusions.
