Oh, Internet: Artificial Intelligence Attempts To Create Additional Lyrics To Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up'

This is a video of the result of Youtuber Lil'Alien [Agentalex9 Alt.] feeding Rick Astley's rickrolling classic 'Never Gonna Give You Up' into the Jukebox neural network developed by OpenAI to create more song lyrics for the song. The music video consists of AI upscaled gifs from the original video. If you're really interested in the technology utilized and just what the hell is going on, there are a bunch of links on the video's Youtube page HERE. I just managed to watch the whole video and I can attest that, uh, that was really something. "Something good?" Haha, now let's not get ahead of ourselves. Keep going for whatever this is.

Darth Vader With Lightsaber Pool Float

In there's no way Vader signed off on this news, this is the 'Nino Star Products Pool Float Black Outdoor' available from Amazon. It costs around $25, kinda looks like a Darth Vader a kid drew, and I can't imagine Darth doesn't wish they all melted in the destruction of the first Death Star. "What am I, a joke to you?!" I imagine him demanding as he Force-chokes the commander who signed off on using his likeness for a cartoony pool float as the other who signed off on the line of upcoming Vader sex toys casually backs out of the room intending to catch the first dropship to Tatooine. Keep going for one more shot of Vader at his most humiliated.

Oh Wow: Exploding A Hand Grenade Inside A Safe

This is a video of Youtuber Edward Sarkissian exploding an M67 frag grenade inside an 87-pound steel SentrySafe fire/waterproof home safe to see what will happen. What happens? It gets BLOWN UP. So, if you were wondering if "inside a home safe" would be a secure place to dispose of your extra grenades, the answer is not even for the first one, and definitely none after that. So while this safe may be fireproof, it certainly isn't *lobs dog toy like hand grenade, bounces off wall and back at my feet* fire-in-the-holeproof. Keep going for the video (everything up to 4:15 is prepping the grenade inside the safe), as well as a video of opening a safe with grenades taped to the outside (with $10,000 and a gold bar inside).
