French stuntman Remi Lucidi Falls to His Death from the 68th Floor of a Hong Kong Skyscraper.

How far would you go for your passion? Would you still pursue it even if it means looking at death straight in the eye?

It is a sad day for the stunt community as a French Instagram stunt star falls to death from the 68th floor of a skyscraper in Hong Kong. The man was identified as Remi Lucidi, who was only 30. 

Lucidi apparently lost his balance and fell from the 721-foot Tregunter Tower, as the South China Morning Post reported. Reports say the stuntman told the guard he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. As shown on the Surveillance camera, Lucidi exited the elevator on the 49th floor and made his way to the staircase.

Unfortunately, Lucidi got trapped outside the building. He saw a maid and knocked on the window to call the maid’s attention. The woman then called the police.

The event could have been a good “rescue story”; however, Lucidi had a mishap and fell. The stuntstar’s body and camera were then found on a patio.

No amount of adrenaline and risky tricks is worth trading your life for. However, if it is your passion to do stunts and showcase the highest buildings in the world, we advise you to be responsible and careful and take your safety into consideration. 

Rest in peace, Remi.

Euphoria’s Angus Cloud Dead at 25: A Tragic Loss in the Entertainment World

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Angus Cloud, the talented actor known for his role as Fez, the drug dealer in the hit HBO teen drama Euphoria, passed away at 25.

The Oakland Fire Department responded to a medical emergency on Monday, but tragically, Angus was already deceased. The cause of death remains unknown, leaving fans and loved ones in shock.

In a moving statement, Angus Cloud’s family remembered him as an extraordinary person, artist, friend, brother, and son. They disclosed that Angus recently lost his father, whom he regarded as his closest friend. Angus was open about his mental health issues, and his family hoped that by sharing his story, others would be reminded that they were not alone and should not suffer in silence.

Unforgettable Journey of the Talented Star

Angus’ career in the entertainment industry began when he was spotted by a casting director while working at a Brooklyn restaurant. He made his feature film debut in Euphoria when his portrayal of Fez, the affable drug dealer, pulled supporters, particularly during his interactions with Zendaya’s drug-addicted character, Rue.

The cast and crew members adored Angus Cloud as an individual of the Euphoria family. In a statement, HBO expressed their deep sorrow and sympathies to his friends and family during this difficult time.

Euphoria, famous for its truthful and unapologetic portrayal of life as an adolescent, has been a significant hit, with Angus playing a vital role in the plot. Cloud has appeared in both seasons of Euphoria, with Fez falling in love with Rue’s friend Lexi, played by Maude Apatow. Season 2 ended with police entering Fez’s home, arresting Fez, and killing his accomplice, Ashtray, in a shootout.

The expected return of the show for Season 3 has been postponed until 2025 due to the writers’ strike and the busy schedules of the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, and actress, Zendaya.

Cloud’s death is a significant loss to the entertainment industry. He was a talented actor with a promising future. Our hearts go out to Clouds’ family and friends, who face immense grief and sorrow. Losing someone so precious and talented is an unfathomable loss, and we stand in solidarity with them, giving our heartfelt sympathies and support. 

We encourage everyone to be kind to one another, to support those in need, and to treasure the time we spend with our loved ones. Life is valuable, and in times like this, we are reminded of its brevity.

Ez Mil: The Rising Star Making History with Triple Record Deal Alongside Eminem and Dr. Dre

Ez Mil, a Filipino-American rap prodigy, stunned the music industry by signing record deals with three major rap labels.

Photo from Ez Mil on Instagram

Eminem and Dr. Dre’s record labels Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records have signed Filipino artist Ez Mil. Being signed straight to all three labels is a big accomplishment for the young performer, who is only the second rapper to do so.

Eminem was first drawn to Ez Mil by his song “Up Down,” which has a percussion-heavy flow reminiscent of Slim Shady’s own. Eminem invited Ez Mil to meet with him and Dr. Dre in Los Angeles after hearing the song. The two rappers got along well right away and soon after collaborated on the song “Realest.”

Ez will release “DU4LI7Y: REDUX,” the deluxe edition of his 2022 LP, on August 11, according to the Shady Records website. 

Photo from Ez Mil on Instagram

Eminem stated that he was captivated by Ez Mil’s songs, thus they signed him. 

Eminem and Dr. Dre are both recognized for their talent-spotting abilities, and they clearly sense something great in Ez Mil. The teenage rapper has a distinct style that is both technically and sonically appealing. He’s also a talented songwriter, with songs that are both humorous and thought-provoking.

“And it’s even rarer that Dre and I sign something together – but I heard Ez’s music and was like, ‘This is really special,’ so I took it to Dre. We both agreed it would be a great fit and we wanted to work with him right on the spot,”

HE COMMENTED.

The signing of Ez Mil to Shady Records is a significant step forward in his career. It demonstrates his talent and promise, and it will undoubtedly lead to more opportunities for him. With Eminem and Dr. Dre on his side, Ez Mil’s potential is limitless.

Worldcoin: The New Cryptocurrency That Uses Eye Biometrics to Verify Humans

What are your thoughts on iris scanning for biometrics? Does it provide a more secure and reliable method of identifying people? or are classic methods like passwords and fingerprints still the best bet?

Photo from Unsplash

The use of physical features  to identify persons is known as biometrics. Iris scanning, which uses the distinctive patterns in the iris of the eye to identify individuals, is one of the most present biometrics.

What is Worldcoin?

Worldcoin is a revolutionary cryptocurrency that distinguishes humans from AI systems through biometric authentication. The purpose of Worldcoin is to offer everyone, regardless of country or background, with equal access to the global economy.

Photo from Unsplash

Worldcoin, the brainchild of Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, has developed a cryptocurrency action that rewards users for scanning their eyes. The goal is to identify between “verified humans” and AI systems, allowing everyone to participate in the global economy. Participants are invited to have their eyes scanned by a silver orb and get a “genesis grant” of 25 tokens (about. £40) upon signing up via the app.

Worldcoin wants to establish universal access to the global economy “regardless of country or background”. It is also described as an opportunity to establish “a place for all of us to benefit in the age of AI”.

The Worldcoin protocol uses biometric verification to assign a digital identity in the form of a Worldcoin token, making it the world’s first crypto token to be distributed globally and freely to authentic individuals. Participants will also receive a crypto wallet on their cellphones, allowing them to conduct seamless global transactions using both digital assets and traditional currencies via the World App.

Photo from Unsplash

While the project claims to preserve users’ privacy, the Information Commissioner’s Office is looking into it. Nonetheless, the effort has received widespread attention, with 2 million individuals from 33 countries taking part in the experimental stages.

Amidst the excitement, numerous well-known personalities have voiced their viewpoints. Worldcoin’s objectives of “global scale alignment” were deemed “cute” by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, but Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed mixed feelings and raised worries about overreliance on scanning orbs, warning against potential dystopian consequences.

The launch of Worldcoin has been met with mixed opinions. Some people have praised the project for its potential to create a more inclusive and equitable financial system. Others have raised concerns about the privacy implications of the iris scans and the potential for the project to be used for surveillance.

It is unclear whether Worldcoin will be successful. However, the project is certainly generating a lot of interest and debate. It will be interesting to see how it evolves in the coming years.
