BARBER COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) — The Barber County Sheriff’s Office says three people have been injured in an explosion at a home in Sharon.

It happened around 11:30 Monday morning in the 100 block of Main Street.

Sheriff Jason LeClair said there was a controlled burn that got too close to a house. He said there was apparently some type of fuel that was stored in the cellar, and it caused an explosion, injuring the three people.

X should bring back stars, not hide 'likes'
Elon Musk's X is preparing to make "likes" private on the social network, in a change that could potentially confuse users over the difference between something they've favorited and something they've bookmarked. According to new posts by company employees, the decision to hide likes is meant to incentivize engagement, by allowing people to favorite content that seems "edgy" and to protect their public image. The change comes across as somewhat unnecessary, given that X, the company formerly known as Twitter, already had a private way to save posts on the platform: bookmarks.

$6M fine for robocaller who used AI to clone Biden's voice
The FCC has proposed a $6 million fine for the scammer who used voice-cloning tech to impersonate President Biden in a series of illegal robocalls during a New Hampshire primary election. It's more about robocalls than AI, but the agency is clearly positioning this as a warning to other would-be high-tech scammers. This was, of course, fake — a voice clone of President Biden using tech that has become widely available over the last couple years.
