🇦🇺 A missing woman survived on wine and lollipops for five days in the Australian bushland. Local authorities said the 48-year-old woman got lost after taking a wrong turn and getting her car stuck in mud. For the next five days, the only liquid the woman – who doesn’t drink – had with her was a bottle of wine she had bought as a gift for her mother. After nearly a week of searching, a police helicopter spotted the woman’s car last Thursday in Mitta Mitta, nearly 40 miles from the nearest town. She was taken to a nearby hospital for dehydration treatment, but otherwise appeared to be unharmed.

🇨🇳 China arrested a man for allegedly using ChatGPT to write fake news. The man’s news operation was reportedly brought to authorities’ attention late last month, when a report falsely claiming that nine people died in a local train accident was simultaneously posted by 20+ accounts on Baijiahao, a blog-style platform run by Chinese search-engine giant Baidu. The man is accused of violating a new Chinese law that came into effect in January requiring all “deepfake” technology, including content generated by AI, to be clearly labeled as such.

🇧🇷 Brazil’s government created six new Indigenous territories where mining will be banned. The new decree from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva covers a total of roughly 2,400 square miles – including a large swath of the Amazon rainforest – to which Indigenous groups now have exclusive rights. The move marks a departure from the policies of Brazil’s previous president, Jair Bolsonaro, who promoted mining on the land in question.
