The Battle of the Gullet is one of the bloodiest sea battles in 'Game of Thrones' history. Here's what happens in the book.
Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon in "House of the Dragon" season three. Ollie Upton/HBO The Battle of the Gullet will take place in "House of the Dragon" season three. Showrunner Ryan Condal teased the battle as "arguably the craziest episode of television ever made." Here's how the Battle of the Gullet unfolds in the book, "Fire & Blood." "House of the Dragon" fans have been anxiously awaiting more action from HBO's tentpole "Game of Thrones" spinoff — and their wish may be granted much sooner than later. Ahead of the season three premiere on Sunday, "House of the Dragon" co-creator and showrunner Ryan Condal has been teasing the Battle of the Gullet, described in the original book "Fire & Blood" as one of the "bloodiest sea battles" in Westerosi history. "To try to tell this story without doing the Gullet would be trying to film 'Lord of the Rings' without doing the Battle of Helm's Deep," Condal told Entertainment Weekly. "If we were gonna do it, we had to do it right. And that meant dragons and ships and multiple theaters of conflict." Condal also said that in terms of expense and execution, the impending Gullet sequence makes for "arguably the craziest episode of television ever made." Of course, fans of George R. R. Martin's fantasy world are no strangers to spectacle and violence; think of Princess Rhaenys Targaryen's fiery death in "House of the Dragon" season two, the epic Battle of the Bastards in "Game of Thrones," or the many, many men that Daenerys Targaryen burned alive. But the Battle of the Gullet isn't just about expensive sets, special effects, and sacrificial background actors. It's a crucial turning point in the Targaryen civil war, also known as the Dance of the Dragons, and proves deeply consequential in the grand scheme of the dynasty. Here's what happens in the book when naval forces and dragonriders collide. (Obviously, spoilers ahead for "Fire & Blood" and potential spoilers for "House of the Dragon" season three.) 'A new threat was closing from the east' Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull in "House of the Dragon" season three. Ollie Upton/HBO In "Fire & Blood," the Battle of the Gullet takes place in 130 AC, less than one year after Aegon II Targaryen was crowned instead of his older half-sister, Rhaenyra Targaryen, the late king's chosen heir. (AC denotes "after conquest," meaning the number of years after Aegon I conquered Westeros and became the first Targaryen king.) At this point in the story, Rhaenyra's war council is plotting from Dragonstone — largely led by her 15-year-old son, Prince Jacaerys, aka Jace — while Rhaenyra's husband, Prince Daemon Targaryen, is rallying an army at Harrenhal in the Riverlands. However, as Jace hatches a plan to fly against King's Landing, Rhaenyra's foes are covertly planning an attack by sea. King Aegon's council has formed an alliance with the Triarchy, a trio of powerful fleets from the free cities of Essos. The Triarchy had long warred with Lord Corlys Velaryon, Rhaenyra's right-hand man and sea commander, over a chain of islands known as the Stepstones. With the Triarchy's 90 warships, King Aegon's council hopes to break the blockade set up by Rhaenyra and Corlys, which prevents food and supplies from coming into King's Landing. As the Triarchy sails toward the Gullet — a narrow channel next to the islands of Dragonstone, where Rhaenyra is based, and Driftmark, the seat of House Velaryon — they come across a ship called the Gay Abandon, sailing away from Westeros. Aboard the Gay Abandon are Rhaenyra's two youngest sons, Prince Aegon III (also known as Aegon the Younger) and Prince Viserys II. They'd been sent away by their older brother, Jace, to wait out the war across the narrow sea. Corlys had also sent seven warships to escort them. When they cross paths, the Triarchy sinks the seven warships and captures the Gay Abandon. Nine-year-old Aegon III is able to escape on his young dragon, Stormcloud, and fly to Dragonstone, where he warns his family about the Triarchy's assault — but Stormcloud is shot by several arrows while they flee, and the dragon dies soon after landing. Meanwhile, 7-year-old Viserys II has no means of escape; the dragon egg given to him at birth hadn't even hatched yet, and Stormcloud is too small to carry both boys. The younger brother is captured by the admiral of the Triarchy's fleet, Sharako Lohar of Lys. 'It is one thing to face a dragon, another to face five' "House of the Dragon" season three will feature the Battle of the Gullet. Courtesy of HBO Roused by his little brother's warning, Jace flies to meet the Triarchy on his own dragon, Vermax. While Vermax sets their ships ablaze, the Triarchy warriors attempt to unseat Jace with arrows and spears. However, he's quickly joined by four more dragonriders, the non-Targaryen "dragonseeds" who recently claimed dragons in Rhaenyra's name: Ulf on Silverwing, Addam on Seasmoke, Hugh on Vermithor, and Nettles on Sheepstealer. (Nettles doesn't exist in the show; it seems her storyline is being given to Rhaena Targaryen.) You may be thinking: What about Rhaenyra? After all, the would-be queen is a dragonrider herself — one far more experienced than her teenage son or any of the dragonseeds. With Rhaenys dead and Daemon far away at Harrenhal, surely Rhaenyra would be the greatest asset in battle. In the book, Rhaenyra isn't even mentioned during the Battle of the Gullet. She's been essentially neutralized after the death of her son, Prince Lucerys, aka Luke, at the hands of her half-brother, Prince Aemond Targaryen. "Fire & Blood" is written as a history book, drawing on various informants and eyewitness accounts that are often colored by personal biases; one source says Rhaenyra is horrified by kinslaying and refuses to attack her own family, while another blames a "mother's heart" for her inaction. Her court jester, Mushroom, says Rhaenyra was "still so griefsick" over Luke that she withdrew from her war council, leaving Corlys and Jace to make decisions in her stead. In the show, Rhaenyra is not depicted as quite so ineffective. She is both devastated and infuriated by Luke's death, and she tries to take action multiple times — but she's usually convinced to stand down by her advisors, who say that her life is too important to risk. Whatever the reason, Rhaenyra is nowhere to be found in the text as Jace flies into his first major battle. 'All seemed lost… all was lost…' Harry Collett and Emma D'Arcy as Jacaerys and Rhaenyra in "House of the Dragon" season three. Ollie Upton/HBO While the Triarchy's southern squadron succeeds in sacking Driftmark, its fleet panics and scatters when five dragons decend from the sky. "Ship after ship burst asunder or was consumed by flames," the book reads. "Screaming men leapt into the sea, shrouded in fire. Tall columns of black smoke rose up from the water. All seemed lost… all was lost…" Suddenly, Vermax plummets from the sky. Again, eyewitnesses disagree on the exact series of events, but the result is the same: Jace's dragon is hit and falls into the sea, "smoking and screaming, clawing at the water." As Vermax dies, Jace is apparently able to unclip from his saddle and leap to safety, clinging to a piece of floating wreckage. But his survival is short-lived. Crossbowmen from the Triarchy's nearest ship shoot him with arrows until he, too, is "swallowed by the sea." The Battle of the Gullet continues to rage through the night, and only 28 out of the Triarchy's 90 warships survive. Technically, Corlys and the Velaryon fleet claim victory, but with Driftmark destroyed and Jace dead, their victory is hollow. The book says that when Corlys is congratulated, he replies, "If this be victory, I pray I never win another." 'Jace's death hardened her' Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen in "House of the Dragon" season three. Ollie Upton/HBO The Battle of the Gullet had dire consequences for Rhaenyra's family and legacy. Jace was her eldest son and heir, throwing the line of succession into chaos if she were to finally take the Iron Throne — but moreover, he was her pride and joy, and the latest blow in a story already stained by grief. Rhaenyra's second son, Luke, was already dead. Her third son, Prince Joffrey, had been sent away to the Vale. Her fourth son, Aegon III, was irrevocably traumatized after his escape from the Triarchy, and her youngest son, Viserys II, was presumed dead in the Gullet, either "drowned or burned or butchered." The fictional "Fire & Blood" historians also blame the Battle of the Gullet for draining Rhaenyra of her queenly qualities. Once celebrated as "The Realm's Delight," she became brutal and callous in her quest for vengeance, vowing to "rain down fire and death upon Aegon and all those who supported him." "Broken by the loss of one son, Rhaenyra Targaryen seemed to find new strength after the loss of a second," the book reads. "Jace's death hardened her, burning away her fears, leaving only her anger and her hatred." Read the original article on Business Insider

Figma CEO Dylan Field says AI-generated design shouldn't be a problem for graphic designers. NYSE/Getty Images Figma CEO Dylan Field sees AI as a creative ally, not a threat, for graphic designers. Field encourages designers to push creative boundaries beyond AI's "average" design capabilities. AI-generated graphic design means creative careers will become more generalist, he said. That AI slop can't hurt you, according to Figma's top executive. Figma CEO and cofounder Dylan Field said creative people — like the graphic designers who use his company's tools — should find the AI era "a great time to be creative." AI models, he said, are trained on the "distribution of data" and typically create designs that people recognize as "average." Humans, on the other hand, can make something that hasn't been seen before, Field told The New York Times' "Hard Fork" podcast. "If you're in distribution, and you're not actually pushing the bounds, I think that you're in a worse shape than if you're actually going and exploring the frontier of human knowledge, creativity, and what you can put out in the world," Field said. "And making something that's fundamentally new as an expression of yourself. So I get excited about that." Field made the remarks at a San Francisco event hosted by the podcast last week. A video of the interview was posted online on Friday. Figma has released its own AI "vibe design" tools that allow users to mock up apps and other software. It's faced competition from other tech companies, like Google, which has Stitch, and Anthropic, which has Claude Design. Field said that the flood of AI-generated designs in marketing, in particular, should be pushing companies to make work that's more original. "In advertising now, we're seeing ways to prove authenticity, to prove that you are actually making something that is not generated by AI, and some companies are really going for that," Field said. "In the world of design, I think that what we're going to see and what we are starting to see is a lot more interactivity, a lot more creativity, people really making software more of a creative medium." The CEO also waved away the notion that AI would create a job apocalypse for graphic designers. Jobs will become more generalist rather than specialized, he said. "A lot of people that are doing other jobs, I think, will start calling themselves 'designers-creatives," Field said. "I think in general, we're seeing more of this kind of generalist vibe that people are feeling like they have to embody." Read the original article on Business Insider
AlphaFold pioneer who won a Nobel Prize alongside Demis Hassabis leaves Google DeepMind for Anthropic
Google DeepMind founder and CEO Demis Hassabis (L) and John M. Jumper, a senior research scientist at DeepMind, after they won the 2024 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Dan Kitwood/Getty Images A key Google DeepMind engineer is leaving for Anthropic. He's the latest Silicon Valley name to join the AI giant. John Jumper won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work with Google's AlphaFold technology. John Jumper, a chemist and computer scientist who once won a Nobel Prize alongside Demis Hassabis, announced Friday he is leaving Google DeepMind to join Anthropic. He's the latest Silicon Valley name to jump ship for the AI startup darling. Jumper worked at Google for nearly a decade. "The entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science," he wrote in an X post on Friday. "GDM is a special place, and I'll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next." Jumper is best known for spearheading Google's AlphaFold team, an AI system that predicts a protein's 3D structure from its amino acid sequence. The AI-powered technology was a major breakthrough in medical and biological research, enabling scientists to understand protein design in greater detail. Now offering over 200 million protein structure predictions, it's a resource that cuts months and even years from the research process. Hassabis, the cofounder and CEO of DeepMind, said that Jumper's work with Alphafold will have a lasting legacy. "What we achieved with AlphaFold changed the world, and showed the field what was possible with AI for science and medicine, lighting the way for how AI can benefit humanity," he wrote. Hassabis and Jumper shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work developing AlphaFold. Jumper's exit to Anthropic coincides with a series of tech leaders at companies like Google and Meta leaving for the big AI startups. Firms like Anthropic and OpenAI are the hottest tech job around — especially as both prepare for an initial public offering. Jumper did not say what his role will be at the AI giant. First, he said, he will be "taking some time to recharge." Read the original article on Business Insider

I give Dad advice to my almost 10 million followers on social media. I'm doing it to pay for my daughter's treatments.
Bo Pettersson gives his dad advice on TikTok to his followers. Courtesy of Bo Petterson Bo Pettersson runs his socials with the help of his daughter, Emily. Emily suffered a brain injury playing soccer, which changed both their lives. Their content helps support treatments for Emily's injury. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Bo and Emily Petterson, of Dad Advice From Bo. It has been edited for length and clarity. Parents aren't supposed to have a favorite child, but there's no secret that Emily has always been mine. She's the second youngest of my six children. She's been the boss of our household since she was 3. She was the type of child who you'd look at and think, "This kid is going places." Emily got a scholarship to college. Then, in 2009, she was playing soccer when she and another player both jumped to head the ball and collided. From that moment, Emily's life changed forever. At the time, my wife and I had a "shake it off" mentality. No one was talking about concussions back then. We were horrified as we slowly watched Emily's life fall apart. Today, Emily describes her injury as being seasick 24/7. When Emily has a bad spell, she stays near the toilet, vomiting for days. There's nothing I can do except hold her. I never wanted to be a TikTok star In the years since Emily's injury, her world got smaller and smaller. First, she lost control of her body, then she lost her friends, her social life, and her ability to work. By 2020, she'd also lost hope. Emily was severely depressed, and her mother and I were worried. Emily had mentioned making videos with me, but I had always brushed her off. I'm not the type of person who wants to put himself out there. I didn't even know what TikTok was at the time. But I could see that Emily was desperate to have something positive in her life. So, one day when she asked, I reluctantly agreed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dad Advice From Bo (@dadadvicefrombo) Emily prompted me to give Dad advice. I thought about the things my own father had taught me and settled on a simple tip: how to back up a trailer. Emily posted the video, and the next day we were amazed by how many people had seen it. As we made more videos, I could see that our channel was pulling Emily out of the depths of despair. I enjoy hearing about the real impact my advice has Usually, our videos are based on something I'm already doing around our home and land. I'm shy, so I try not to think about the fact that millions of people watch me — I just speak like I'm talking to my own kids. I love seeing the comments and messages our audience sends. One woman messaged to say that when her dishwasher sprang a leak, her husband was running around trying to figure out how to turn off the water. The woman remembered I'd posted about just that, and she saved the day. Another time, I encouraged viewers to pick up the phone and call their fathers. I'd be thinking about my own dad, and the conversations we'd had during his final years. A bit later, a viewer messaged us to say that she had reconnected with her estranged father because of that video. The channel has helped Emily access treatment and community A good dad is always there for his family, but he's not perfect. I've always been clear about that with my kids, and I make a point of saying it on social media. I make mistakes. As a parent, you're going to mess up millions of times. The best you can do is always try to make the next right decision. I made a mistake with how I initially responded to Emily's injury. But deciding to get onto social media with her was definitely the right decision. We have so much fun together making videos. We often laugh until we're on our knees. It's been amazing to have this much time with my daughter. It's also helped Emily directly. When we started, she didn't know anyone else with a traumatic brain injury. Now, she has a network. Because of funds and connections on social media, Emily has had access to new treatments. We started making content because we were desperate. Now, because of everything that content has given us, we have hope. Read the original article on Business Insider

Chris Rojas before and after he got sober. Courtesy of Chris Rojas Chris Rojas barely touched alcohol until he entered the restaurant trade and drank with colleagues. His drinking got worse as he got older, and he had bad hangovers after consuming beer and whisky. The dad of four finally realized he wasn't being present for his children and got sober. This story is based on an interview with Chris Rojas, 41, of Tucson, Arizona, where he works in food distribution. It has been edited for length and clarity. Some of my friends growing up were into recreational drugs and drinking, but I was big into sports and stayed away from all that. Then, at 18, I got my first job in the restaurant industry. My colleagues and I would work hard all evening and then party when we were done. We'd hit the bar scene around 10 pm or go to someone's house. I drank heavy beers, whisky, tequila, gin, vodka, and anything else I could get my hands on. I used alcohol to soothe myself Then I got hit by a drunken driver. I was left with a lot of soft tissue damage, and I couldn't stand up for more than 30 minutes for about a year. There was a lot of pain involved, and I used alcohol to soothe myself. I got married and divorced within two-and-a-half years, which didn't help. Still, I met my second wife, and we got married in 2013. It wasn't long before our first child arrived. We went on to have three more. I didn't go out so much because I had kids, but I would drink whisky and beer in my home office after helping them with their homework and eating dinner. I was a bit of a workaholic with several side projects that I was passionate about. I'd stay up late working and drinking every night or every other night. Alcohol dominated my thoughts. I'd drive to the supermarket to buy 12-packs of beer as soon as my supply got low in the fridge. Stress got to me The hangovers were awful, and I felt slow and sluggish. I was constantly tired from lack of sleep and wasn't as connected to my little ones. In 2022, I tried to reduce my drinking and was successful for about 18 months. Then I was demoted twice over the course of six months and earned 45% less than my previous salary. The stress got to me, and I suffered from my prior injury to my back. My solution was drinking again. Rojas feels more present for his kids. Courtesy of Chris Rojas Then, on November 15, 2024, I woke up with yet another hangover after a binge. I finally realized I couldn't keep punishing my body. I was giving up my energy and attention to my kids to a substance that was parasitic. I downloaded an app that offered advice on both reducing and eliminating alcohol consumption. It was a life-changer, and I haven't touched a drop since then. I read about the neurological and physiological effects of long-term abuse and what it was doing to my relationships. I feel so much closer to my children I created a routine of waking up, lifting weights at home, and committing to not drinking. Unfortunately, my second marriage ended. It was traumatic, but it would have been 10 times worse if I'd been drinking. Best of all, I feel so much closer to my children. I spend a whole lot more time with them and am fully present. They're young, but I've talked to my kids about my past through a filter. My 11-year-old recently told me that she was proud of me. It felt like the ultimate praise.

AI is reshaping how Americans work, but some research shows it's not destroying jobs on a large scale. Drazen_/Getty Images Yale Budget Lab researchers are tracking the impact of AI on the job market. They found that AI isn't causing major unemployment, and its impact is similar to the internet's early days. The new technology is changing the nature of work, making companies reevaluate their bottom lines. It's easy for job seekers to feel stuck in an AI doom loop. Chatbots have overhauled white-collar 9-to-5s, agents are rewriting the rules for basic tasks, and C-Suite leaders can't stop talking about productivity gains. If you're struggling to land a new role right now, however, new research found that technology likely isn't the main culprit. An analysis by Yale Budget Lab found that AI has had a modest impact on America's job market since the release of ChatGPT in 2022. So far, AI has changed jobs more than it has eliminated them, the researchers said — a pattern similar to the impact of other major advances, such as the internet and computers. Yale's team put it bluntly: AI usage has "no connection" to changes in employment or unemployment. AI is changing work, but not eliminating it While it may not be obliterating jobs just yet, AI has undoubtedly changed the nature of those jobs. Business Insider has heard from Americans without a tech background who vibecoded solutions to their biggest problems, and business leaders who are using chatbots to streamline their workflow. A solid benchmark for AI's actual impact on jobs, Yale's researchers found, is to compare it with other tech advances, such as the introduction of computers in the 1980s and the dawn of the internet in the 1990s. AI's effect is slightly sharper in the months after launching, but not the work revolution some Silicon Valley leaders have heralded. (function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})(); Some sectors have been hit harder than others. Finance and business are more vulnerable than a profession like nursing. Occupational churn, which measures growth and decline in the job market, however, is following a similar trend line to these other moments in tech history — not causing a massive reset. The Yale report also found that high AI exposure doesn't have a stark impact on how long job seekers are unemployed — those who have been out of work for less than 5 weeks have a relatively similar trend line to those who have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more. The number of unemployed workers whose jobs were automated is also fairly static. It's not to say that the job market is rosy. A lack of vacancies, widespread hiring freezes, and layoffs — which some CEOs say are somewhat related to AI — have boxed people of all ages out of offices. And relatively low quit rates mean that open positions have been few and far between. Jobs numbers are recovering a bit this summer after months of disappointing results, though that dip may have had more to do with high interest rates than tech disruption. Giants like OpenAI and Anthropic are also reevaluating how they price their products, meaning companies will have to shell out a lot more money if they want their employees to use AI regularly. And, as Business Insider has reported, much of the current AI use in the corporate world isn't translating to major profits or productivity gains. It's still early days for chatbots at the office, and the tech is evolving rapidly. But, at least for now, it's unlikely to cause a sudden wave of unemployment.

X tells 'neglected' Meta employees that it is hiring and will 'exceed any snack budget offer'
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are competing for engineering talent at their companies. Getty Images Meta said it'll be improving its snack-filled office kitchens to improve employee morale. X's product lead, Nikita Bier, offered to "match or exceed any snack budget offer." Meta's employees have taken a pummelling with frequent AI pivots and layoffs. Two tech titans are now competing on another battlefield: Employee snacks. Earlier this month, Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth said the company would be taking steps to improve employee morale after successive waves of layoffs and AI strategy pivots. One of those steps, he said in a memo, would be improving the snacks and drinks in its office kitchens. Elon Musk's social media is going toe-to-toe on that front. To entice engineers to work for X, Nikitia Bier, the top product executive at the social media platform, offered to up its snack game. "Neglected Meta employees: X is hiring web and data engineers & scientists," he wrote on the platform on Thursday. "We will match or even exceed any snack budget offer." He instructed employees to use the word "snacks" in their application for software engineering roles, which pay between $180,000 to $440,000, according to the job listing — plenty of money to buy snacks in case Bier can't get your favorite Dubai chocolate-covered pretzels in the office kitchen. While Meta's workplace morale has taken a pummelling in recent months, X's is on a high. The company is part of xAI, Musk's artificial intelligence company, which is part of SpaceX, which had the biggest initial public offering ever last week. The IPO minted over 4,000 new millionaires at the company. The company vaulted past Meta to become the 6th-most-valuable company in the world, behind Amazon. Meta is now ranked No. 12. Representatives for X and Meta didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Read the original article on Business Insider
