Skip to main content A fun night that brought even more excitement to the Big Blue Nation. UK Athletics Ethan DeWitt serves as an editor with us here at A Sea of Blue. Although the first day of official practice is now several weeks behind us, tonight felt like the real start of the year as the BBN got their first look of the team taking the floor. With plenty of new faces on this year’s roster, there are a lot of questions about how good they can be. In a small sample size this evening, you can see why Mark Pope and plenty of others around the sport are excited to see this team take the court for their first game. A different look compared to last season with the roster construction, the open practice really showed not only this team’s athleticism, but also this staff’s attention to the defensive end of the floor. Can they take a big jump on defense to put them into that top-tier national championship contender status? That sure seems like the plan. It is fun to see some UK basketball back on our TVs. Now let’s take a look at how Twitter reacted

The social media platform X, formerly Twitter, incorrectly reported the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars. X's AI platform, Grok, generated a faulty summary stating the Chiefs won 28-24, when the Jaguars actually won 31-28. The AI-generated summary also contained other factual errors, such as the Chiefs' season record. In front of millions of viewers around the nation and beyond, the Jacksonville Jaguars achieved a signature victory for Trevor Lawrence and head coach Liam Coen by stunning the Kansas City Chiefs 31-28 on Monday Night Football. Didn't they? Well, not in the eyes of Twitter/X and its artificial intelligence platform Grok, which not only wrongly announced the Chiefs as the winners but even placed the faulty result in the Trending Topics section. The official summary from X produced multiple errors, under the heading "Chiefs Edge Jaguars 28-24 in Thriller with Travis Hunter's Highlights and Officiating Controversy." "The Kansas City Chiefs rallied from behind to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-24 on Monday Night Football, maintaining their undefeated 5-0 record," the summary began. Incidentally, the Chiefs were not undefeated even before the game, and their loss in Jacksonville dropped them to 2-3. The false AI-generated result is the latest of several

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court won’t help conservative provocateur Laura Loomer take on social media companies and their advertisers who have blocked her posts. Loomer, an influential outside adviser to President Donald Trump, has garnered significant attention for her conspiracy theories and inflammatory comments. She was banned from Twitter in 2018 for “hateful” conduct. In 2019, Facebook banned Loomer and other controversial figures as "dangerous individuals," saying it bans any user who promotes violence or hate. However, her Twitter account was reinstated after billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk purchased the platform, now known as X, in 2022. The court on Oct. 6 rejected an appeal by Loomer in her fourth unsuccessful lawsuit alleging Facebook and X conspired with advertisers to keep her from using their sites when she was running for Congress in the 2020 and 2022 elections. The bans doomed her campaigns, she said in the suit. "Social media is critical to campaigns, especially during COVID-19 restrictions that limited traditional campaigning methods like door-to-door canvassing and public events," her attorneys wrote. A federal judge in California dismissed the suit, which relied on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - The White House has confirmed an investigation into the release of Ronald Exantus, a man who was released from prison 13 years early after stabbing an entire Kentucky family and killing their 6-year-old son, Logan Tipton. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made the announcement on X (Formerly Twitter) just after 8 a.m. Saturday. “It’s wholly unacceptable for a child killer to walk free after just several years in prison,” Secretary Leavitt said on X. “My first reaction was, finally. We are finally, people are finally finding out about this. You know, 10 years ago we tried to get the word out, but social media was not what it is now,” Heather Tipton, Logan’s mother said.

He then committed a series of stabbings, injuring the six-year-old’s father and two sisters.
