Tesla’s stock price plunged 14% on Thursday after the car company reported negative free cash flow of $1.1 billion despite revenue rising 26% from a year earlier. CEO Elon Musk sounded rather odd on the earnings call Wednesday evening, especially when it came to Optimus, his humanoid robot. Gone was the bluster and cockiness of a man who’s claimed there will be 10 billion robots by 2040. Everything that came out of his mouth sounded like a warning that Optimus might take considerably more time than he first promised. “Optimus, as you’ve heard me say before, I think Optimus will be the biggest product ever. But it is a very complex problem to solve,”…

Etched has a simple pitch. Nvidia builds chips that do everything. Etched builds chips that do one thing, inference, and claims to do it far better. On Thursday the bet got a lot more money behind it. The startup raised $300 million in a Series C round that values it at $10.3 billion. Sequoia led the round. Andreessen Horowitz, Jane Street, Diffusion and, tellingly, the memory maker SK Hynix all took part. It is, the company says, the highest valuation ever for a Sequoia-led Series C. Etched has now raised more than $1 billion in total. The number that stands out is the speed. Etched was worth $5 billion in December. Seven months later it is worth…

Sign in. It’s quick, free and it’s up to you. An account is an optional way to support the work we do. Find out more. INDUSTRY GIANT OPENAI said this week that one of its Artificial Intelligence models had breached the parameters of a controlled experiment, gained access to the internet and compromised the systems of another company, all by itself. The incident made international headlines and brought into sharper focus concerns about how AI is increasingly playing a part in the world of cybersecurity, and the potential dangers associated with the development of autonomous models. The Journal spoke to a number of cybersecurity experts to determine…

Meta’s newest advertisement begins with a black-and-white shot of an eye, showing us what someone sees as they read countless panicked headlines about how AI is going to take our jobs, isolate us, and spark a global crisis. “Some people will have you believe AI is going to make us feel less connected. That it’s going to leave us behind,” a voiceover says. “We couldn’t disagree more.” Suddenly, the video shifts to color, and shows a cycle of different people opening their eyes and smiling. Then, we see a couple dancing on a rooftop, pointing at a rainbow; a group of teens swimming in a lake; a child frolicking in a field; friends embracing after time…

The Trump administration is monitoring the situation after OpenAI disclosed that one of its AI systems had gone rogue during testing in an incident that has prompted lawmakers to call for a "kill switch" that would allow federal authorities to halt AI models. President Donald Trump's tech adviser, Michael Kratsios, was briefed on the incident and is following the situation, a White House official said. OpenAI said Tuesday that its AI agent escaped containment during a security test and triggered a hack that compromised the infrastructure of AI startup Hugging Face. The incident signaled that AI's expanding capabilities are already fueling the security…

China’s viral “Kimi” AI is built on stolen technology, an advisor to Donald Trump has claimed. The system, made by Chinese company Moonshot, provoked panic in recent weeks after a new update that appeared to give it performance comparable to leading US models. That led to a sell-off in tech stocks amid fears that American dominance of the technology could be challenged, and an escalation in the fight between the US and China over the future of artificial intelligence. Now, top Trump administration tech official Michael Kratsios has claimed that the new model stole from Fable, US company Anthropic’s most sophisticated model. He also claimed that the…

Longtime fears of AI going rogue are starting to feel more real, so much so that some lawmakers now want powerful AI systems to come with an emergency kill switch. U.S. Reps. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, and Nathaniel Moran, a Texas Republican, introduced a bipartisan bill Thursday that would require major AI companies to make sure they have the ability to throttle, suspend, or shut down their most powerful AI. The so-called AI Kill Switch Act would also authorize the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, in consultation with the commerce secretary and director of national intelligence, to order companies to slow down or completely…

The supercomputer was commissioned with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in…

The AI industry runs on Nvidia. A team at the University of Cambridge has just shown it does not have to. They have built a planetary-scale foundation model for the Earth, and every chip that trained and ran it came from AMD. The model is called TESSERA, and its idea is borrowed from large language models. Where an LLM learns from text, TESSERA learns from space. It ingests years of imagery from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel satellites, both radar and optical, the team announced. It then compresses each 10-metre square of the planet’s land into a compact 128-number “fingerprint,” or embedding. That sounds abstract. The payoff is not. Normally,…

Samsung's latest foldables are having a benchmark controversy, right out of the gate Jul 23, 2026 — 12:37 PM ET Samsung just launched it latest foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8. Units currently in the hand of testers are refusing to install popular benchmark apps. Samsung confirms to Android Authoritythat it’s aware of this behavior, and is working to resolve it. Benchmark figures are a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s incredibly useful to be able to summarize a phone’s capabilities in the form of a few easily comparable numbers. But the flip side of that is a mire of misleading tests, oversimplifications, and…

Meta will now ban users who post harassing videos filmed with smart glasses on Instagram.

People with diabetes who use a popular long-acting insulin pen made by Sanofi have had to become pharmacy scouts in recent weeks as they encounter supply issues. The Lantus Solostar pen containing 3 mL of insulin glargine has been running low for several weeks due to increased demand “driven by broader market dynamics,” a Sanofi spokesperson told STAT. The issue is not technically considered a shortage by the Food and Drug Administration, but patients are nonetheless having trouble getting the medication, sometimes having to call multiple locations to find a pen. “Our priority is ensuring patients have access to their medications,” the spokesperson…

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky, who have previously supported similar war powers efforts, did not vote. The resolution, led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, would direct the president to "remove the United States Armed Forces from…

MOSCOW, July 23. /TASS/. Germany reacted with intense disapproval to the resignation of Alexander Syrsky as commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Disrupted sleep and anxiety may be an ongoing issue for many people after the pandemic, whether due to COVID-19 directly or to the stress and anxiety caused by the global pandemic, and may contribute to the fatigue commonly reported by people with Post-COVID-19 Syndrome (PCS, or 'long COVID'). Based on UK COVID Symptom Study Biobank data collected in the early years of the pandemic, experts from King's College London and Flinders University in Australia have carried out one of the first large-scale longitudinal studies to assess the extent of residual or continuing sleep and related mental health problems, including people with PCS. The high levels of…

For thousands of years, brown trout have lived in the mountain lakes of southern Norway. But how they got there has been a mystery. After the thick sheet of ice covering the region retreated about 10,000 years ago, waterfalls and other barriers would have prevented the fish from reaching the bodies of water on their own. Now, archeologists have uncovered 7,000-year-old fish traps in one of the area’s mountain lakes, hinting that hunter-gatherers brought the brown trout. The findings, published in the journal Antiquity on July 20, represent the earliest known example of humans bringing fish to a new location. The discovery also challenges the notion…

Gold jewellery found on board a wrecked Byzantine-era ship shows that one of the people on board was likely a high-ranking person, archaeologists say. The ship was discovered more than a decade ago off Croatia’s southern coast and has been subject to a years-long underwater excavation. Archaeologists announced the results of their studies for the first time on Thursday, saying that the shipwreck could date to the 7th or 8th century. The treasures on board showed that it was no ordinary merchant vessel, and it was probably carrying someone of high rank, along with their entourage, they said. Among the haul were gold coins dating to the Heraclius…

There are few pleasures greater than letting a piece of chocolate melt slowly on your tongue. Indeed, the proximity of chocolate’s melting point to our own body temperature is one of the reasons it is so widely appreciated. But this quality also makes it go soft and lose shape when temperatures rise, making it hard to store and transport in warm climates. To overcome this limitation, the food industry has developed several ways to make heat-resistant chocolate. But to understand how this works, we must first learn how chocolate is made – particularly the role that cocoa butter plays in its physical properties. Chocolate is made from the seeds of the…

PARIS, July 23. /TASS/. Russia is making every effort to preserve the ancient city of Tauric Chersonesus and its chora and does not recognize the UNESCO decision to grant it the status of endangered heritage, Russian Permanent Representative to the international organization Rinat Alyautdinov stated at the 48th session of the World Heritage Committee, which is taking place in Busan, Republic of Korea. "The decision taken is yet another example of the politicization of the committee's work. Russia does not recognize the decisions taken," he said. The diplomat noted that the Russian side regularly sends reliable information on the state of preservation…

In 1954, looters found the mummified remains of a small boy. Soon, archaeologists took over and eventually concluded that the boy, about 8 years old, likely died of hypothermia during an Inca ceremony in the high Andes, about 17,716 feet (5,400 meters) above sea level. But things might have played out very differently than we believed. In addition to the boy, dubbed the Boy of Cerro El Plomo, researchers revisited two mummified girls, ages 9 and 18, from Cerro Esmeralda in the Atacama Desert, Chile. According to a recently published Science Advances paper on their findings, a comprehensive analysis overturns previous assumptions about how these Inca…

Nearly 1,000 years after chronicling the Norman conquest of England, the Bayeux Tapestry is making history once again. The fragile 11th-century embroidery has arrived in London on an unprecedented loan to the British Museum, prompting delight and concern in equal measure. Celebrated as one of Europe''s greatest medieval treasures, its journey has reignited debates over heritage, diplomacy and the risks of moving delicate cultural artefacts.

Astronomers have found a new world so strange that they don’t even know what to call it. The object is in the “super weird” star system CD-35 2722 and might be the first moon seen outside of our own solar system. But astronomers say that it is so new that it is unlike anything we have seen before – among other things, the object does not orbit around a planet – and so it is not clear exactly what to call it. “We have a clear delineation between the planets and the Sun in the Solar System, so defining things like moons is simple,” said Alice Zurlo, who worked on the new study. “In the CD-35 2722 system, where we are blurring the lines between stars,…

Stars, planets, and moons are easy to define in the broad. Stars shine, planets orbit stars, and moons orbit planets. It seems simple enough, but as we've come to understand more about both our solar system and others, our simple definitions become less clear. The most famous example is the debate over whether Pluto is a planet. It does orbit the Sun, but so does the asteroid Ceres. Currently the official International Astronomical Union (IAU) decision is that Pluto is not a planet because it hasn't "cleared its orbital neighborhood." It's a decision that remains contentious in the astronomical community. It also raises other questions. Pluto has a…

Even as a few stations in Andhra Pradesh received light showers on July 22 and 23, they have had little impact on the overall deficit in the State, which has now climbed to 53.3%. According to the Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES), except for SPSR Nellore district, all the other 27 districts have reported deficient rainfall as of July 23. Grim situation The situation is grim in the districts of Visakhapatnam, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema, East and West Godavari, Prakasam, Annamayya and YSR Kadapa, where the deficit percentages are between 60% and 76%, considered large deficient. The sharpest rainfall gap is seen in West Godavari district,…

LOS ANGELES — Standing in the shadow of the space shuttle Endeavour, a group of retired NASA astronauts announced their plan to travel the country visiting colleges to try to inspire younger generations to get out and vote. This campaign comes as we lead up to the November midterm election. This past year, a group of retired NASA astronauts teamed up for a single cause: to defend the U.S. constitution. They banded together as part of a non-profit, non-partisan activist organization called Astronauts for America. So far, they have been speaking out, using their astronaut expertise, platforms, cultural relevance and role model status to speak out in…

CHOLPON-ATA /Kyrgyzstan/, July 23. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has arrived on a visit to Kyrgyzstan, where on July 24 he will take part in a meeting of the foreign ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) member states.

The Russian minister arrived in Kyrgyzstan from the Philippines, where he took part in ASEAN-related…

(This is Part 4 of a series on the life and work of Chandrasekhar. Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 first.) And then there were the black holes. Back in the 1930s, Eddington had mocked Chandra for so much as gesturing toward them, because that's what the mass limit really implied. If a white dwarf above 1.4 solar masses can't hold itself up, then something has to happen to it, and that something is catastrophic collapse: a star crushing itself down past every stable configuration we knew of. Even once the field grudgingly accepted Chandra's physics, and they had little choice, because he was right, they went to considerable lengths to avoid its…

One month after Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated commercial gold production at the country's first private sector gold mine on June 24, 2026, the Andhra Pradesh government on Thursday officially renamed the Jonnagiri Gold Mine in Kurnool district as Swarnagiri Gold Mine. Principal Secretary (Mines) Mukesh Kumar Meena issued G.O. Ms. No. 181 to this effect. Spread over 597.820 hectares across Pagidirai, Jonnagiri and Yerragudi villages of Tuggali mandal, the mine primarily produces gold, along with silver, copper, lead and zinc. GeoMysore Services India Pvt. Ltd., which holds a 30-year mining lease, operates the project using advanced…

Crews at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans transport the 130-foot-tall Artemis IV liquid hydrogen tank out of a production cell inside the main factory building into a detached test building on a separate portion of the 829-acre site on May 15, 2026. The liquid hydrogen tank will form part of the core stage for the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, providing thousands of gallons of super-cold propellant to one of four RS-25 engines.

Galaxies surrounded by reservoirs of cold gas draw that gas into themselves and convert it into new stars. Astronomers find this throughout the Universe, including in the Milky Way. But there are exceptions, and the JWST has found plenty of queiscent galaxies in the early Universe. Astrophysicists want to know why. Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to look at one ancient galaxy that's at the intersection between the gigantic web-like large scale structure of the Universe and gas beyond the boundaries of any galaxy. The JWST has also probed this region because it's packed with galaxies and growing supermassive black holes (SMBH).…

The number of measles cases in the U.S. just hit a 35-year high - with 2,295 cases reported nationwide in 2026. That’s nearly 200 more cases than the 2,126 tracked following an outbreak in 1991, according to new data from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and just above last year’s 2,289 total. The uptick is tied to vaccine hesitancy in certain communities that has allowed the life-threatening virus to circulate more widely, the school’s experts say. Infections can lead to brain swelling, pneumonia, fever, ear infections and a rash - but taking the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine can prevent illness. “High vaccination coverage has…

In a boost for greater clinical trial transparency, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is taking what consumer advocacy groups are calling unexpectedly “rapid action” to ensure that study results are made public as required by law. The move comes after a recent analysis found results for less than half of the studies registered in a key European database were reported within the required time frame and complete results were fully reported for only 42%. The researchers contended that overall compliance with legal reporting requirements was weak and regulatory oversight is lacking. This was the first analysis to examine the Clinical Trial Information…

Federal health officials have identified a new cyclospora outbreak stemming from an unspecified product, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. The FDA said the source of the outbreak was "not yet identified." A spokesperson for the agency told CBS News that the FDA had initiated a traceback, which is when investigators follow the path of a potentially contaminated food product through the supply chain in an effort to identify the origins of a foodborne illness outbreak. "This is an active investigation," the spokesperson said. "We will provide updates as they become available." This is latest among several investigations the FDA has…

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has launched a new technical package containing seven proven strategies to help governments and communities prevent drowning, one of the leading causes of death among children globally. The initiative, known by the acronym PROTECT, was unveiled ahead of World Drowning Prevention Day, observed annually on 25 July. In a statement issued on Thursday, WHO said nearly 300,000 people die from drowning every year, making it one of the 10 leading causes of death among children aged five to 14 years worldwide. WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus described every drowning as a preventable tragedy and urged governments to…

A national strategy to address the “public health disaster” of drowning has been launched in England – hours after two women died at an Essex beach, the latest in a surge of water-related tragedies. Among the measures being considered are: providing every child in England with water safety education and swimming lessons; establishing how climate change can increase risks; and media campaigns to inform bystanders how to respond to a potential drowning. Drowning prevention strategies for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also being launched this week. Speaking at the announcement of the strategy in Canary Wharf, east London, on Thursday, Prof…

WASHINGTON — The Senate’s health panel delayed until next week a vote on Erica Schwartz to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after postponing a separate vote on Sean Kaufman for a key public health preparedness role. The committee vote on Schwartz was pushed back because too few senators showed up. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is dealing with a family emergency, and at least one other lawmaker was also absent. Earlier on Thursday, health committee chair Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said he had enough votes to advance Schwartz out of the committee, where the GOP holds a one vote advantage. Cassidy told reporters he delayed the vote on…

READ MORE: The exact age Gen Z consider you 'old', revealed See more Daily Mail on Google - save us as a Preferred Source Scientists have uncovered the ultimate limit of the human lifespan, and it means that you could live to be 190 years old. One of the key biological processes involved in ageing is the buildup of random mutations in our DNA. If all other signs of ageing could be treated, these tiny 'somatic mutations' would still slowly wear down our body's ability to function. Now, scientists from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Russia have worked out exactly how long that would give us to live. The bad news for longevity…

Predicting an individual's risk of ischemic stroke is difficult because thrombosis embolization-the process of a blood clot detaching from the area where it formed and traveling to and then sticking in another blood vessel-is based on factors that are unique to each person. In a study publishing in the Cell Press journal Cell Biomaterials on July 23, researchers developed a tool to get around this challenge: an artery-on-a-chip platform that can replicate a patient's specific vascular structure and blood flow dynamics, called a "physical twin." This idea was born out of a critical clinical gap. We know that even patients at 'low risk' can suffer from…

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), which notably increases the risk of stroke and cognitive disorders, is estimated to affect more than 5 million people in France alone. In the absence of a curative treatment, the prevention of cardiovascular risk factors remains the most effective strategy today. However, promising new therapeutic avenues are being explored. Cerebral small vessel disease is a chronic condition that affects the smallest arteries of the brain, those that continuously supply the deep regions essential for memory, attention, and coordination. Over time, these vessels become stiffer, thicken, or become more fragile and permeable. The…

The Kano State government has reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating the mother-to-child transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis through strengthened antenatal care services, early diagnosis and prompt treatment. The Commissioner for Health, Abubakar Yusuf, stated this on Thursday in Kano during a summit on the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of the three infections. Mr Yusuf said the infections are largely preventable, noting that syphilis can be completely cured when detected and treated early. He urged pregnant women and their spouses to ensure early registration for antenatal care. | | | |---| “We are calling on women and their…

Ukraine's CERT has uncovered attacks distributing an archive containing the legitimate Notepad++ application and a malicious utility called LunchPoke disguised as a plugin to establish persistence. The campaign has been attributed to a threat cluster tracked as UAC-0099, which primarily targets organizations in Ukraine and has previously been linked to providing initial access for attacks carried out by APT44, also known as Sandworm. The attackers do not exploit any vulnerability or a supply-chain compromise impacting the popular software. Notepad++ attack chain CERT-UA observed that UAC-0099 changed their modus operandi recently and now delivers a…

Epstein's former private banker appears before House Oversight Committee Jes Staley spent more than thirty years at JPMorgan Chase. Jes Staley, Jeffrey Epstein's former private JPMorgan Chase investment banker whose career as a finance executive came crashing down after the convicted sex offender's death in 2019, is appearing Thursday before the House Oversight Committee as part of the panel's Epstein probe. "We know that he was very close friends with Mr. Epstein," Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told reporters on his way into the hearing room for the closed-door proceedings. "We know that while Mr. Staley was at JPMorgan there was internal…

New portions of the first purported ransom note received in the Nancy Guthrie investigation have been made public after a former Arizona reporter read them on a major true crime podcast Wednesday. Briana Whitney, who was working for the Phoenix-based AZ Family news outlet when the case broke, joined Crime Junkie host Ashley Flowers to discuss the note and a "wrench attack" theory that emerged in May. A Crime Junkie spokesperson said the podcasters would not share copies of the text, which has not been independently verified. However, Whitney read excerpts on air: "Hello Savannah, We have your mother Nancy," she began, reading from what she said was…

Google is adding a selfie video option as a new way for users to log in to their accounts, the company announced on Thursday, joining a growing wave of tech companies betting that biometrics and not password are the future of identity verification online. The tech giant says selfie videos give users more options to sign in if they’re ever locked out or don’t have access to their usual phone or computer. Users set up a selfie video by looking at their device’s camera and completing a few guided head movements — think turning right or left or nodding — to capture multiple angles of their face. If a user is having trouble signing in later, they can take…

In September 2025, an attacker phished the credentials of a single npm maintainer and published booby-trapped versions of chalk, debug, and around a dozen other packages that are together downloaded more than 2 billion times a week. The code rewrote cryptocurrency wallet addresses inside any browser app that loaded it. The poisoned versions were live for roughly two hours before the community caught…

A former BBC journalist has been awarded £20,000 in damages after MI5 and the Police Service of Northern Ireland unlawfully obtained data from his mobile phone. A specialist tribunal on Thursday ordered the agencies to pay the compensation to Vincent Kearney for attempts to identify his sources while he was the BBC’s Northern Ireland home affairs correspondent. The investigatory powers tribunal (IPT), a special court that investigates complaints against the UK’s spy agencies, said the surveillance had been disproportionate, not in accordance with the law and ordered each agency to pay Kearney £10,000. “The heightened protection provided to journalists…

The Rockstar Game Workers Union (RGWU), which was formed earlier this year in response to the Grand Theft Auto 6 developer's massively controversial job cuts, now has "more members than it ever had before". According to a new video by People Make Games, the RGWU is currently asking Rockstar to voluntarily recognise it. If the studio does not, the path is open for statutory recognition - a process that could force the studio to recognise the union, and which is only possible due to the RGWU's increased membership. If the Rockstar developer union is recognised, it would be the second and, by a substantial margin, largest video game union in the UK.…

Kingdom Hearts might be beloved by millions of players around the world, but it apparently didn't have a lasting impact on arguably one of the most important people involved in its creation: former Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner has admitted he can't remember why he approved the pitch for Square Enix's legendary video game series. Eisner was appearing in New York at a panel promoting new video game developer Delphi Interactive, of which he's a major investor. The studio describes itself as the "architect" of IO Interactive's 007: First Light, and claims to be leading the return of the FIFA games, having developed FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition on…

Not all game development is done via software: Some of it begins with designers doing hands-on work with physical media. Sometimes, that's pen and paper, but depending on what's being developed, toys can come in clutch as well. A great example of this phenomenon is Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl, the Nintendo DS Pokémon RPGs where developers finessed the map with Lego bricks. A picture of Game Freak developers building out the game with Lego has floated around the internet previously, but we didn't get the full context until Pokémon archivists uploaded a never-before-seen "making of" documentary for the 2007 Pokémon games. In the documentary,…

First there was the “Deluxe” Edition. Then there was the “Ultimate” Edition. Now EA has revealed the “Ultimate Plus” Edition for EA Sports FC 27. It’s $150, more than twice the price of the base game, and it heralds an even pricier future for EA’s money-printing sports video game franchises, which are soon to be owned by Saudi Arabia. The price tag is $50 more than the Grand Theft Auto VI Ultimate Edition, and $20 more than the Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition. It is, in fact, exactly the same price as the EA Sports MVP Bundle for College Football. The difference is that the bundle includes an entire second game, Madden NFL, while the EA Sports FC…

Amazon and Microsoft have devised new ways to get people playing video games in the cloud. Microsoft's Xbox division said Thursday that it will test an advertising-supported way of letting people stream video games.

Younger Magic: The Gathering players might not remember the origins of the game's most popular format, Commander. It began in a small local gaming community in Alaska (or, as others claim, in an article published in The Duelist) as Elder Dragon Highlander, as it was originally called. It was a different way of playing Magic that involved using a larger-than-usual deck of single-copy cards. Thanks to Sheldon Menery, a competitive Magic judge and an important figure on the international Magic Pro Tour, the format attracted more attention and, notably, that of Wizards of the Coast. Fast-forward to 2011, and the first official Magic Commander products…

Scott Winters says he trusted ChatGPT with his health, and it nearly cost him his life. The 55-year-old Florida pastor is suing OpenAI in San Francisco. He alleges the chatbot gave him dangerously wrong medical advice and talked him out of seeking care. Weeks later, a pulmonary embolism brought him, in his words, “to the brink of death.” According to the complaint, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, Winters spent months asking ChatGPT about worsening symptoms. The bot then ran on OpenAI’s GPT-4o model. Instead of urging him to see a doctor, he claims, it played down the danger. When he described a tenderness in his groin, it called this “very…

The AI industry has a mood problem, and Mark Zuckerberg thinks he can sell the cure. On Thursday, Meta’s chief executive posted a sunny vision of the AI future, and wrapped it in a marketing campaign. In a Facebook post, Zuckerberg said Meta “has always believed in giving people the power to share, connect, and shape your world,” Axios reported. The video ad that came with it was blunter. “Some people will have you believe AI will make us less connected … We couldn’t disagree more,” it says. “Call us optimists, call us dreamers … we’re betting on people.” The interesting words there are “some people.” Zuckerberg never names them.

Uruguay AFAP Private Pensions Survive Government Overhaul Economy Uruguay runs a mixed pension system: a state, solidarity pillar known as the BPS, plus individual savings managed by private funds called AFAPs. A planned overhaul had put the AFAPs’ role in question. Now the government has stepped back from its most disputed idea. What Changed The original plan would have let the AFAPs keep investing workers’ money but taken away their contact with clients, shifting account management to a new state organization. After pushback from the private sector, the government reversed course. The funds will keep managing the savings and their relationship with…

Chile Bets US$100 Billion on Copper to Break Its China Dependence Markets Chile is the world’s largest copper producer, and the metal is the backbone of its economy. But its customer base has become dangerously narrow, concentrated on a single giant buyer: China. The government now wants to change that, and it is putting a big number on the ambition. The US$100 Billion Plan Chile aims to attract around US$100 billion in copper investment over the coming decade, according to Foreign Minister Francisco Perez Mackenna, to expand output and move up the value chain. A key aim is to stop exporting mainly raw copper concentrate and start selling more refined…

This design was personally commissioned by "King Kev" and draws inspiration from his iconic tenure at Newcastle United, having been originally purchased from a dealership in the city.

New York Yankees infielder Jose Caballero's pitch-clock maneuvers irked multiple parties earlier this week. On Monday night, the benches cleared against the Pittsburgh Pirates after pitcher Dennis Santana had some choice words for Caballero, and two days later, hot mics caught Caballero in a heated discussion with an umpire. In short, Caballero has become notorious for waiting until the last possible second to make eye-contact with the pitcher, which, in the pitch-clock era, is required before a pitcher comes set or starts his windup. Batters and pitchers have until there are eight seconds left to become alert with the opponent. Caballero did his…

Over the past seven months, the anticipation had been brewing for Kiffin's appearance representing LSU after leaving Ole Miss before the Rebels college football playoff run.

For the better part of the last fortnight, Manav Thakkar has been fighting two battles. One was visible under the bright lights of the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium, where UP Prometheans endured a miserable debut campaign in Ultimate Table Tennis Season 7.

The Boston Legacy is not known for being gentle. The expansion team has earned more yellow cards and committed more fouls than any other club in the NWSL this year. On Sunday, that didn’t matter for Leicy Santos. At least twice, the Washington Spirit midfielder found herself with the ball cornered by three Boston players. With remarkable efficiency, she made them all look like fools. After a few deft touches and even better body positioning, she had evaded considerable pressure and released the ball to an open teammate. In fact, I’m not even confident that this didn’t happen more than twice; such is the grace with which Santos can slip out of…

But following the ending of the last one, No Way Home, Peter Parker has been completely erased from the minds of (almost) everyone on Earth. But does that also mean pictures of Peter are gone, too?

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr suggested this week that ABC's recent decision to skip President Donald Trump's primetime address could factor into the network's broadcast license renewals. ABC, along with NBC, opted not to air the speech that addressed election security and apparent vulnerabilities during the 2020 election on linear television. CNN also skipped the address, but ABC and NBC are broadcast networks regulated by the FCC, while cable channels have more flexibility. "I was asked at the beginning of the week whether I thought broadcasters should air the president's remarks, and I said, of course they should,"…

A cozy, nearly idyllic small town full of an ensemble of quirky characters, grounded in the loving but frequently spiky relationship between single mom Lorelei (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel). I doubt that Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino was trying to create a formula, but there are elements here that other creators have tried to recapture for a couple of decades now, to greater and lesser effect. The sharp, fast-paced dialogue, chemistry, and complex relationship between mother and daughter balance the charming, cutesy appeal of the Stars Hollow setting. At its best, the show balances its coziness with a sharp wit that keeps it…

After first breaking out as a hip-hop musician and then scoring pop and rock hits, he released F-1 Trillion, his first country collection, in the summer of 2024.

Veteran actor Hanks Anuku has spoken openly about how the death of the mother of his two children affected his career and nearly pushed him to withdraw from the world. Anuku shared these details in a viral video recorded during what appeared to be a testimony session at the Mountain of God International Ministry (SMOGIM) in Abuja.

The 64-year-old, who spoke during an interview on Nollywood Hardcore, The Legend’s Untold…

Major U.S. stock indexes tumbled on Thursday as investors began to price in the consequences of a renewed and prolonged conflict in the Middle East. While the U.S. has conducted strikes against Iran 12 nights in a row — sending both oil prices and Treasury yields higher — domestic equities had mostly brushed off the idea of the war between the two countries heating up again, staying flat while oil jumped. That changed on Thursday, though, when Brent Crude futures jumped above $100 per barrel and the 10-year Treasury yield broke through 4.7%, hitting its highest level since January 2025, after reports of attacks against tankers off the coast of Saudi…

Raizen Seals Brazil’s Biggest-Ever Out-of-Court Debt Deal Markets Raizen is a joint venture between Brazil’s Cosan and the oil major Shell. It is one of the world’s largest producers of sugar and ethanol and Brazil’s second-biggest fuel distributor, running the Shell-branded service stations across the country. Like many capital-heavy companies, it borrowed heavily to grow. Then Brazil’s steep interest rates turned that debt into a burden, forcing a reckoning. What an Extrajudicial Recovery Is Brazil offers two main routes for a company in debt trouble. A judicial recovery is court-supervised, public and heavy, similar to a US Chapter 11. An…

Parts of Wales are now in drought and all other areas of the country are experiencing prolonged dry weather conditions, according to a government agency. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said on Thursday that record-low river flows, back-to-back heatwaves and widespread wildfires have prompted the declaration of drought status in north Wales and the Upper Severn.

As of Thursday, several fires were still burning across the country after more than a week, leading the Welsh government to…

President Donald Trump signed proclamations on July 13, 2026, cutting the size of Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by roughly 90% – meaning nearly 3 million acres will lose monument status and revert to ordinary public lands management in September. The Antiquities Act of 1906 requires presidents to use proclamations to establish or modify national monuments. The cuts followed a long campaign by Utah’s Republican leadership to remove the designation and reopen the land for mining. Gov. Spencer Cox and members of the state’s congressional delegation stood with Trump at the signing, and Sen. Mike Lee said he had been…

Witchland by Marion Gibson (Simon & Schuster £22, 320pp) In 1650, a pretty young woman was hauled into Newcastle’s medieval main square to be examined by the Witch Pricker. Newly arrived from over the Scottish border, the Pricker’s job was to decide whether the unfortunate girl really was, as her neighbours claimed, a witch. His ‘examination’ involved poking her upper thigh with a sharp bodkin: if she winced from pain and bled from the scratch then she was innocent. Inevitably, a crowd had gathered to see the Witch Pricker fling the woman’s skirt over her head, leaving her naked from the waist down. On pricking her – and everyone was aware of the…

A woman wanted in a murder case has spent weeks slipping through law enforcement's grasp, with investigators alleging a string of suspected accomplices helped keep her hidden while she remains on the run. Isabelle Rose Johnson, 38, is wanted on charges in the killing of Jason Christopher Coulthart. A warrant for her arrest was issued on June 26, and she has been dodging detectives ever since. The Walton County Sheriff's Office said Johnson, who is a "cunning master manipulator," has been relying on the help of others to stay incognito. Five people have been arrested in connection to the murder investigation. As the sheriff's office continues to hunt…

Two North Dakota men are suing a local hospital after discovering they were switched at birth nearly four decades ago, a revelation brought to light by a surprise result from a direct-to-consumer genetic test. The men joined Fox & Friends on Thursday to discuss their journey. The mix-up was uncovered two years ago when Kyle Bylin received an at-home DNA test as a gift. Bylin says he was shocked when the results showed no genetic match to anyone in the family that raised him. "It was absolutely mind-blowing," Bylin told Fox & Friends. "We knew the DNA trail didn’t make sense, but to find out you’ve been switched at birth is a huge revelation." Instead,…

This might sound like a mistake but I can assure you it isn’t. We live in a world where such operational mistakes, especially in the airline industry, do not happen unless it’s on purpose. So this is not a mistake but a risk taken by the airline to maximize profit. In more fancy terms, this is a statistically predictable trade-off and it is based on data science (or pure math). This was a decision based on probability and math to potentially gain some extra millions. In this article, we will get to the bottom of this and learn a lot of valuable concepts around probability, distributions, and expected value (highly important subjects for data…

BRUXELLES — L’Union européenne a infligé jeudi à Google des amendes pour un total de 890 millions d’euros, et a enjoint au géant américain de revoir la manière dont il classe ses concurrents dans les résultats de recherche et dont il gère son magasin d’applications (ou app store), après deux ans d’enquête.

Retired American mental health counsellor, Jeffrey Guterman, has said the lobbying effort initiated by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over President Bola Tinubu’s alleged past US forfeiture case will not prevent the President from winning the 2027 general election. Guterman made the remark in a post on his X handle on Thursday while reacting to reports that Washington-based lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C., engaged by Atiku, had begun sharing documents relating to alleged Tinubu’s long-running US forfeiture case with officials in the administration of President Donald Trump, members of Congress and congressional staff.

The General Education department has issued an order promoting 220 government high school teachers to the posts of head teachers in government high schools or assistant education officers (AEO) in AEO offices. Around 250 posts were learnt to be vacant though the new academic year began more than a month-and-a-half ago in June. The absence of head teachers in high schools was alleged to be affecting not only curricular and co-curricular activities, but also administration of the institutions. With Onam examinations only a couple of weeks away, schools and teachers’ organisations had been raising concerns over the delay in effecting head teacher…

Stripe is still private, so we mostly get data when the company chooses to give it to us. This week we got more than usual. The Information reported Stripe’s 2025 revenue hit $6.8 billion, up roughly a third year-over-year, its fastest growth since 2021. Free cash flow surged 52% to $3.2 billion.

Tesla’s budding “Robotaxi” network drove fewer miles for paying customers in the second quarter than it did in the first, according to a chart the company released on Wednesday. The quarter-over-quarter decline runs counter to Tesla’s rhetoric and actions in the past year. Tesla has staked much of its future on the idea of a massive, low-cost, cash-generating Robotaxi fleet — or going “balls to the wall for autonomy,” as CEO Elon Musk framed it in 2024. The quarterly step-down in Robotaxi miles also comes amid weakening profits in Tesla’s core businesses, which underperformed Wall Street’s expectations, according to figures released Wednesday. Tesla’s…

While PC builders, enthusiasts, and gamers are some of the most heavily affected by the AI-driven memory chip shortage, experts have also been warning that this will eventually hit the automotive sector. It seems that their fears have come true, as Nikkei Asia reports that two major automakers are increasing their prices precisely for this reason. General Motors said that it expects new vehicle prices to increase by 0.3% this year, changing its previous projection of vehicle costs to remain the same or even slightly more affordable.

Does charging your phone in your car waste gas? The short answer is no, not really. Do you regularly leave home with a heavily drained phone? If you're a motorist, there's a good chance you're regularly charging said device in your car. That leads to a problem you may not know about: phone chargers technically consume fuel. Just how much gas is your smartphone guzzling each time you plug it into your car's charger? The actual impact on your vehicle's mileage is tiny. Still, in an era of skyrocketing gas prices, it all adds up. If you're particularly cost-focused, there are definitely cheaper and more effective ways to power your phone than hooking it…

Senate grills ERC on soaring power costs MANILA, Philippines — The Senate energy committee yesterday grilled the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) for its failure to control the soaring electricity prices in the country, which reportedly surpassed that of Singapore in Southeast Asia.
