Phuc Dat Bich posted a picture of his passport on Facebook to prove it was his real name

IF YOU have ever thought your name sounded bad, spare a thought for this guy.
Phuc Dat Bich (yes, that is his real name) was tired of being accused of having a “false and misleading” name, so he took matters in to his own hands.
After having his Facebook account shut down three times, the 23-year-old Vietnamese-Australian posted a picture of his passport to the site to prove it was real.
“I find it highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it,” he wrote. “I’ve been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive. Is it because I’m Asian? Is it?

Mr Purgacz, 37, was found sleeping on a grass verge within the inner-city base at 11.02pm on December 23. He was arrested by Federal Police and charged with trespassing on prohibited Crown land.

Twitter May Have Just Doomed Humanity by Trolling an Artificial Intelligence Bot
By Ryan Faith

March 25, 2016 | 6:15 am
Some bright bulb at Microsoft Research had the clever idea of turning a machine learning program loose on Twitter yesterday to learn how humans interact with each other. Humans, predictably, interacted terribly.

Within 24 hours, the Twitter bot @TayandYou had turned spectacularly ugly in the way only the internet can turn things ugly, spewing racism and hate at Twitter uses in a series of horrifying tweets. Most of them have already been deleted, perhaps in a bid to ensure that any future artificial intelligence (AI) won't have evidence of what horrible bastards humans were back before AI took over the world. Or maybe Microsoft was simply trying to avoid bad PR. Regardless, there are screenshots.

And those future AIs would be right to be pissed about how humankind warped the mind of this poor machine learning program.

Hey if I had the chance to talk tweet the bot it wouldn't have turned out racist, it would have trolled the likes of Trump, Hockey and Turnbull instead!

Is that the story of Peter the Dolphin and a scientist who went on massive acid trips before deciding a researcher would live with a dolphin for 8 week in the hope they could then start communicating in English.

The headline title on the front page? "One dead after car crashes into Queensland funeral" I rather suspect there was one dead before, too.

This one's a little off but I am not sure I fully understand why cutting a dogs balls off is ok and even encouraged but letting him use them will put you in prison.
