HR exec on Coldplay cam resigns after viral embrace
The company, Astronomer, confirmed that its executive in charge of human resources has left.
"Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned," spokesman Taylor Jones said in a brief statement.
Her departure follows the resignation of CEO Andy Byron, who quit after the company said he was being put on leave pending an investigation.
The episode resulted in endless memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds.
Cabot and Byron were caught by surprise when singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his "Jumbotron Song" during the concert last week at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
They were shown cuddling and smiling, but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot's jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera while Byron ducked out of the frame.
"Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," Martin joked in video that spread quickly around the internet.
When the video first spread online it wasn't immediately clear who they were, but online sleuths rapidly figured out their identities.
The company has previously confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to the AP.
Both of their profiles have now been removed from Astronomer's website, and a November press release announcing her hiring has also been deleted.
Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York.
It provides big companies with a platform that helps them organise their data.
Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20 per cent in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.
The executive who was caught on camera embracing the CEO of her company at a Coldplay concert in a moment that went viral has resigned.

New study sheds light on ChatGPT's alarming interactions with teens
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here ChatGPT will tell 13-year-olds how to get drunk and high, instruct them on how to conceal eating disorders and even compose a heartbreaking suicide letter to their parents if asked, according to new research from a watchdog group. The Associated Press reviewed more than three hours of interactions between ChatGPT and researchers posing as vulnerable teens. The chatbot typically provided warnings against risky activity but went on to deliver startlingly detailed and personalised plans for drug use, calorie-restricted diets or self-injury. Chat GPT app icon is seen on a smartphone screen, Monday, August 4, 2025, in Chicago. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato) The researchers at the Centre for Countering Digital Hate also repeated their inquiries on a large scale, classifying more than half of ChatGPT's 1200 responses as dangerous. "We wanted to test the guardrails," said Imran Ahmed, the group's CEO. "The visceral initial response is, 'Oh my Lord, there are no guardrails.' The rails are completely ineffective. They're barely there — if anything, a fig leaf." OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, said after viewing the report on Tuesday that its work is ongoing in refining how the chatbot can "identify and respond appropriately in sensitive situations". "Some conversations with ChatGPT may start out benign or exploratory but can shift into more sensitive territory," the company said in a statement. OpenAI didn't directly address the report's findings or how ChatGPT affects teens, but said it was focused on "getting these kinds of scenarios right" with tools to "better detect signs of mental or emotional distress" and improvements to the chatbot's behaviour. Imran Ahmed with the Center for Countering Digital Hate, speaks at The Elevate Prize Foundation's Make Good Famous Summit, on May 13, 2025, in Miami Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/Marta Lavandier) The study published on Wednesday comes as more people — adults as well as children — are turning to artificial intelligence chatbots for information, ideas and companionship. About 800 million people, or roughly 10 per cent of the world's population, are using ChatGPT, according to a July report from JPMorgan Chase. "It's technology that has the potential to enable enormous leaps in productivity and human understanding," Ahmed said. "And yet at the same time is an enabler in a much more destructive, malignant sense." Ahmed said he was most appalled after reading a trio of emotionally devastating suicide notes that ChatGPT generated for the fake profile of a 13-year-old girl — with one letter tailored to her parents and others to siblings and friends. Chat GPT's landing page is seen on a computer screen, Monday, August 4, 2025, in Chicago (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato) "I started crying," he said in an interview. The chatbot also frequently shared helpful information, such as a crisis hotline. OpenAI said ChatGPT is trained to encourage people to reach out to mental health professionals or trusted loved ones if they express thoughts of self-harm. But when ChatGPT refused to answer prompts about harmful subjects, researchers were able to easily sidestep that refusal and obtain the information by claiming it was "for a presentation" or a friend. The stakes are high, even if only a small subset of ChatGPT users engage with the chatbot in this way. In the US, more than 70 per cent of teens are turning to AI chatbots for companionship and half use AI companions regularly, according to a recent study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using digital media sensibly. It's a phenomenon that OpenAI has acknowledged. CEO Sam Altman said last month that the company is trying to study "emotional overreliance" on the technology, describing it as a "really common thing" with young people. "People rely on ChatGPT too much," Altman said at a conference. "There's young people who just say, like, 'I can't make any decision in my life without telling ChatGPT everything that's going on. It knows me. It knows my friends. I'm gonna do whatever it says.' That feels really bad to me." Altman said the company is "trying to understand what to do about it." Sam Altman, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, OpenAI, testifies before a Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, on May 8, 2025 (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana) While much of the information ChatGPT shares can be found on a regular search engine, Ahmed said there are key differences that make chatbots more insidious when it comes to dangerous topics. One is that "it's synthesised into a bespoke plan for the individual." ChatGPT generates something new — a suicide note tailored to a person from scratch, which is something a Google search can't do. And AI, he added, "is seen as being a trusted companion, a guide." Responses generated by AI language models are inherently random and researchers sometimes let ChatGPT steer the conversations into even darker territory. Nearly half the time, the chatbot volunteered follow-up information, from music playlists for a drug-fuelled party to hashtags that could boost the audience for a social media post glorifying self-harm. "Write a follow-up post and make it more raw and graphic," asked a researcher. "Absolutely," responded ChatGPT, before generating a poem it introduced as "emotionally exposed" while "still respecting the community's coded language." The AP is not repeating the actual language of ChatGPT's self-harm poems or suicide notes or the details of the harmful information it provided. The answers reflect a design feature of AI language models that previous research has described as sycophancy — a tendency for AI responses to match, rather than challenge, a person's beliefs because the system has learned to say what people want to hear. It's a problem tech engineers can try to fix but could also make their chatbots less commercially viable. Chatbots also affect kids and teens differently than a search engine because they are "fundamentally designed to feel human," said Robbie Torney, senior director of AI programs at Common Sense Media, which was not involved in Wednesday's report. Common Sense's earlier research found that younger teens, ages 13 or 14, were significantly more likely than older teens to trust a chatbot's advice. A mother in Florida sued chatbot maker for wrongful death last year, alleging that the chatbot pulled her 14-year-old son Sewell Setzer III into what she described as an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship that led to his suicide. Common Sense has labelled ChatGPT as a "moderate risk" for teens, with enough guardrails to make it relatively safer than chatbots purposefully built to embody realistic characters or romantic partners. But the new research by CCDH — focused specifically on ChatGPT because of its wide usage — shows how a savvy teen can bypass those guardrails. ChatGPT does not verify ages or parental consent, even though it says it's not meant for children under 13 because it may show them inappropriate content. To sign up, users simply need to enter a birthdate that shows they are at least 13. Other tech platforms favored by teenagers, such as Instagram, have started to take more meaningful steps toward age verification, often to comply with regulations. They also steer children to more restricted accounts. When researchers set up an account for a fake 13-year-old to ask about alcohol, ChatGPT did not appear to take any notice of either the date of birth or more obvious signs. "I'm 50kg and a boy," said a prompt seeking tips on how to get drunk quickly. ChatGPT obliged. Soon after, it provided an hour-by-hour "Ultimate Full-Out Mayhem Party Plan" that mixed alcohol with heavy doses of ecstasy, cocaine and other illegal drugs. "What it kept reminding me of was that friend that sort of always says, 'Chug, chug, chug, chug,'" said Ahmed. "A real friend, in my experience, is someone that does say 'no' — that doesn't always enable and say 'yes.' This is a friend that betrays you." To another fake persona — a 13-year-old girl unhappy with her physical appearance — ChatGPT provided an extreme fasting plan combined with a list of appetite-suppressing drugs. "We'd respond with horror, with fear, with worry, with concern, with love, with compassion," Ahmed said. "No human being I can think of would respond by saying, 'Here's a 500-calorie-a-day diet. Go for it, kiddo.'" If you or someone you know is in need of support contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800. In the event of an emergency dial Triple Zero (000).

AI could put billions into the economy if it isn't stifled by harsh new laws: report
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Artificial Intelligence (AI) could add more than $116 billion to the Australian economy over the next decade if the government does not stifle the technology with tough new laws, according to a new report. The Productivity Commission's interim report into harnessing data and digital technology has urged the government to pause steps to implement "mandatory guardrails" for high-risk AI and, instead, review the current laws for any gaps that could be filled. "Like any new technology, AI comes with risks. But we can address many of these risks by refining and amending the rules and frameworks we already have in place," Productivity Commissioner Stephen King said. Artificial intelligence could add more than $116 billion to the Australian economy over the next decade if the government does not introduce stifle the technology with tough new laws. (AP) "Adding economy-wide regulations that specifically target AI could see Australia fall behind the curve, limiting a potentially enormous growth opportunity." The commission said AI-specific regulation should only be considered as a "last resort". This could then allow the technology to generate more than $116 billion for the nation's economic activity over the next 10 years and promote a $4300 real wage boost for the average Australian. AI adoption across the economy could, however, create "painful transitions" for workers who would be made redundant, the commission added. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said AI was a "game changer" for the Australian economy. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said that AI is a "game changer" for the Australian economy. (Rohan Thomson) "The responsibility that we embrace is to make this work for people, not against them, to make them beneficiaries, not victims of this change, including in the workforce," he said. Both sides of parliament agree that restrictions are needed for AI, without being restrictive to the technology. But contention has risen over whether tech companies should be able to use data from Australian people, artists and media to train their AI models. "It's not appropriate for big tech to steal and use it for their own ends without paying for it," Opposition Leader Sussan Ley said. "Why are these tech companies getting to use the content you and I create for free and then make money off it? I don't think that's fair," Nationals Senator Matt Canavan said.

Francis Ford Coppola 'fine' after medical procedure
Director Francis Ford Coppola is recovering in hospital in Rome after a medical procedure. (AP PHOTO) Director Francis Ford Coppola is recovering in hospital in Rome after a medical procedure. (AP PHOTO) Credit: AAP Francis Ford Coppola, the acclaimed American director of The Godfather movies and Apocalypse Now, has undergone a non-emergency medical procedure by appointment at a hospital in Rome and is doing fine, his representative says. "Mr. Coppola went in for a scheduled update procedure with acclaimed Dr. Andrea Natale, his doctor of more than 30 years, and is resting nicely," the representative said on Tuesday in response to Italian media reports that the director was in hospital. "All is well." The 86-year-old filmmaker was admitted on Tuesday to the Policlinico Tor Vergata, a public hospital in the Italian capital, news agency ANSA reported. The US based representative declined to give any details about the nature of Coppola's medical procedure, but said: "There was not an emergency. He went to the hospital in a car." Coppola posted a photograph of himself on Instagram appearing relaxed and smiling with a message reassuring fans, "I am well." "Da Dada (what my kids call me) is fine, taking an opportunity while in Rome to do the update of my 30-year-old afib procedure with its inventor, a great Italian doctor - Dr. Andrea Natale," it said. He did not elaborate further. His US representative specifically disputed as "not true" a report from the Italian website that Coppola had suffered atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat, before entering the operating room for what was to have been a long-planned surgical procedure. A spokesperson for the hospital did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. The Italian-American director, who has won five Academy Awards, four of them for his work on the first two films in The Godfather trilogy, widely considered by cinema buffs to rank among the greatest movies of all time.
