  • Someone was probably mean to them but it wasn’t her. She is also not the first to be attacked.

    She described finding herself suddenly surrounded by the pack after they “jumped out” from a drain in Perdana Park at about 6am local time.

    “At first, I thought it was a cat, but the creature jumped out and bit me while I was running, and there were many of them … I could not even stand up when it happened,” she told local media.






  • As much as I hate reddit, I usually go there for this kind of thing since someone is always giving proper updates.

    The guy bought an ar-15 and 2000 rounds literally this morning.

    Also, anyone know how to spoiler, I forgot.

    Edit: updated with more info, lots of gunshots.

    Jfc, it just gets worst. Apparently this guy was arrested earlier on terroristic threats and now a bunch of 2A nuts are cruising the area trying to catch him, complicating it for police. Easy way to get shot and might even explain all the reports of gunshots. This is going to get bad.

    Edit: Things have quieted down and they can’t find him. They are using thermals so either he killed himself or kidnapped someone and their car. My guess is the first and all the reports were “good guys with guns” shooting at shadows.

    Here’s the top comment on the reddit thread:

    Things I’ve heard on the scanner (all times ET):

    8:30p: asking for an additional helicopter

    8:40p: something about a female with prior military experience. Unsure if this was a victim or potential suspect. a female reported someone she knew threatening to shoot people today and had military experience (Thank you u/9leggedfreak)

    8:46p: police know the suspect and confirmed they bought an AR-15 with 2,000 rounds this morning.

    8:47p: multiple reports of gunshots at a new location (not sharing specifics for police security)

    8:52p: second aircraft inbound

    8:58p: they’re tracking the subjects cell phone and just got a ping on their location; directing aircraft

    9:03p: sister of the suspect has called to ask for protection as the subject has threatened to kill his family members; location withheld for security.

    9:04p: flashlights being seen by aircraft in the location where the cell phone pinged

    9:07p: someone reporting the shooter is in their front yard

    9:15p: suspicious vehicle (Chevy Equinox) found in the middle of the road

    9:19p: trying to get the interstate open; sounds like it was overruled

    9:22p: ten shots reported at a new intersection

    9:23p: “front lawn” report clarified it wasn’t accurate and was “a shooting in the county”

    9:25p: multiple callers reporting gunshots; police in motion

    9:26p: the abandoned vehicle on Lily Rd was confirmed not to be the shooters (also thank you to u/PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD)

    9:27p: “fog of war” is causing some confusion for responders; reconsolidating

    9:30p: quite a bit of focus on a specific cell tower, presumably the same tower referenced from the cell ping and aircraft directions

    9:31p: NYT is reporting 5 people shot on the highway. Victims are in stable condition per their report.

    9:33p: another report of a strange person walking through someone’s property

    9:33p: route 25 is shut down at 490 (this may not be new)

    9:34p: police presence on Bluegrass Rd. same area as prior reports

    9:37p: aircraft still working off the single ping from earlier. No further cell pings.

    Per the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office: Joseph A. Couch, 32, identified as person of interest. White, 5’10”, approx. 154lbs. Considered armed and dangerous. Contact 606-878-7000 with any information.

    9:47p: One area search completed. No shots or suspect found.

    9:48p: A black mustang is being sought for someone “last seen”. Unclear if it is part of this search or a separate incident.

    9:48p: another report of the shooter near Bluegrass Rd in their front yard; police in motion

    9:51p: sounds as if a request for additional help from an ancillary agency was denied; surprised the police lead given the circumstances

    9:54p: the 10-88 (phone number) of the subject is known and attempting Signal 6 (calling)

    9:55p: state representatives have arrived; advising further shut down of route 25

    9:58p: an additional search has been completed (near 490)

    10:05p: 490 traffic is still blocked; state department asking to open things up

    10:08p: command post rotating police units to bring in fresh folks

    10:10p: additional gunshots reported

    10:11p: extended family may have information on location, but police are having trouble getting details

    10:16p: gunshots reported Bulls Branch Rd about 10 min ago (thanks u/Dr-Shakie). This is about 3mi southwest of Bluegrass.

    10:19p: suspicious person with flashlight near someone’s driveway walking toward 490

    10:24p: continued clearing of RV parks and other areas

    10:27p: police hearing gunshots near Carmichael Community Church / KY-3094 (thanks u/Dr-Shakie and u/mhwnc). This is a little over a mile south of Bulls Br Rd from earlier.

    10:35p: reports of subject spotted on Dean Hundley Rd.

    10:38p: random people coming out of the woods

    10:39p: more reports of sightings on US-25

    10:39p: gunshots reported near residence on Fount Hubbard. This is fairly far west from other reports.

    10:46p: lots of police relocating; few reports

    10:51p: more reports near Byble Rd, not near other reports (thanks Shakie)

    10:57p: Kentucky State Police helicopter N10SP very focused along US-25 (thanks u/ImportantDepth8858)

    10:58p: someone with a flashlight matching subject description seen; sounds very far from current activities

    11:00p: reports of a runner from police

    11:02p: possible resident spotting of suspect at (likely, radio is hard to tell) Irvine Ln (thanks u/AtlasRoark and u/LaserLlamaYoMama)

    11:05p: ADS-B reporting of the KSP helicopter has gone offline. Haven’t heard them on the radio in some time, either. (thanks u/weemwrangler2) back up now - circling same areas as before

    11:15p: suspicious vehicle unexpectedly parked in someone’s driveway; no make and model. Fairly far from the search area and likely unrelated (thanks Shakie/mhwnc)

    11:19p: units have arrived at location of reported gunshots on 490

    11:20p: detailed report of shooting happening near someone’s property; units heading in that direction

    11:22p: Robert’s Creek Rd “dogs are going crazy”

    11:22p: police have NOT heard gunshots on 490 (thank you for correction Shakie)

    11:25p: reports of shooting and male with a flashlight near Laurel Lake Rd N - units responding

    11:30p: an officer is not answering their radio; units responding

    11:31p: suspicious van seen with male who fled

    11:32p: unresponsive officer is 10-4

    11:36p: N10SP looks to be departing their search area, possibly heading to London to refuel, but that’s speculation. Nothing on air about going off-station.

    11:40p: unrelated DV calls reported; may result in some confusion in reporting to follow

    11:41p: another suspicious vehicle reported in someone’s driveway

    11:52p: reported male seen with gun heading toward London on KY-30

    11:58p: individual on KY-30 allowed search by officer; no weapons found

    12:02a: thermal drones have joined the search

    12:22a: N10SP is flying north out of the area after stopping in London. They may be done for the night.

    12:23a: suspicious person near school possibly matching suspect description

    12:50a - things have significantly quieted down and not much to report. I imagine the evening will be about road blocks and containment, with the fugitive search continuing in the following days.

    Continued note: fairly quiet with the exception of other calls; this may end up as a longer-term fugitive search as the false-positive calls slow down. Will keep an ear out for a bit longer.




  • There were numerous gore subreddits and I remember seeing some seriously heavy videos on Facebook, albeit rarely. Even today, Reddit has a lot of war gore (Ukraine mostly), as well as crazyfuckingvideos with shooting videos and what have you.

    I remember I think two months ago, here on Lemmy, I was reading an article that was shared. The OP had stated there were hard images to look at, the first few were nothing bad and the warning was mild, so I continued but midway, it turned into headless corpses and things. This was an account of stuff that happened in China a few decades ago, so it’s not like I was purposely looking for monkey gore or anything.

    And not to mention all the stuff that was shown to me in highschool from friends which is actually the first time I saw a beheading video. The latest was a Tiktok video that was made to look like something else and switched to a beheading after a few seconds.

    I think you just got lucky tbh. This stuff isn’t just on the deep web, sometimes you don’t even have to look for it.





  • It would be relevant if Microsoft or any of the LLM companies presented their models outputs as truths. It’s been repeated multiple times that the outputs should be reviewed and verified. This is some serious “Reddit lied to me” vibes. Copilot literally says it uses AI and to check for mistake on the chat page.

    On top of that, these could be viewed as bugs. Can you actually imagine suing over bugs about a novel type of software that is realistically two years old? Though tbh it will be a long time before we reach tech that cannot make a mistake. The general public expectations are a bit ridiculous imo.


  • I imagine the ones creating and distributing the model. Even if you only got sued when you hosted a model and not when you shared it, it still doesn’t make for a good ecosystem. Regular people should have the choice to use models even if it spits out garbage for certain tasks, it might suit their needs for their own task perfectly.

    There’s no reason to gatekeep llms and lock them behind hardware requirements, it’s up to people to understand their limitations and what they are for.


  • So just to be clear, if you can sue companies for this, there is no open source scene and we end up with only Microsoft and Google in the game since they will be the only one able to eat the fines.

    There’s no easy way to solve this problem, especially with the tech being so recent and the scope so big. In any case, it’s user error. Llms aren’t expected to be right at all times, especially when it’s a coding model about obscure journalists. They are tools to help the user, and every step requires verification from the user.

    They aren’t a replacement for truth, they can’t stand in for wikipedia and news articles, they aren’t meant to be cited in papers, etc.
