The search for two villagers trapped for weeks in a flooded cave in Laos is still going.

Rescuers are now trying to reach them through vertical shafts found on the hill above the cave.

I've seen a lot of coverage about one of those rescuers, the Australian cave diver Josh Richards, who's part of that rescue team.

But he's also there with a Finnish diving expert, Miko Parsi.

He helped in that incredible rescue of a soccer team from a cave in Thailand in 2018.

And Parsi says although they're not finding signs of life in this cave, they're not giving up on those last two men.

We'll be hearing a lot more about Anthropic in the coming months.

That's the artificial intelligence company behind the clawed chatbot.

It's preparing to go public on Wall Street.

And at least one analyst has said that Anthropix IPO will be the most scrutinised public offering in tech history.

We still don't know some key details about it, like how much shares will cost and when they'll be listed, but I doubt this is the last we'll be hearing of it.

Back home now, a young Tasmanian devil has gone missing from a theme park on the Gold Coast, Andrew, and the search is on for her.

A spokesperson for the theme park said that the enclosure wasn't damaged and there's no sign of how she escaped.

They said that incidents of this nature are extremely rare.

So fingers crossed we hear some good news on that today.

As for what else we're watching for Squiz the Day, a reminder that our new Squiz series is set to begin tonight.

We've partnered with Minduru Foundation for a three-part series on how we're looking at artificial intelligence in Australia.

And our first episode is all about how much we trust AI here.

Spoiler alert, it's not much.
