An Anthropic researcher is quitting the artificial-intelligence industry over fears that the lab and its competitors are racing to build systems they won’t be able to control, a sign of mounting safety concerns within top AI companies. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who specializes in training new AI models by having them consume vast amounts of data, said Tuesday that he is leaving the company because he doesn’t want to participate in an industrywide rush to build AI systems that can improve themselves, worried such systems could spiral out of control and destroy humanity. The 27-year old Brit, who previously studied...

Four innocent children were deliberately drugged and murdered by their own mother and grandmother in a sickening murder-suicide plot allegedly driven by a bitter custody dispute, according to investigators. The children, Harper Harmon, 13; Hudson Harmon, 11; and 10-year-old twins Gavin and Gracelynn Harmon, were found dead alongside their mother, Sarah Myers, 44, and grandmother, Amy Steadman, 64, inside Steadman’s apartment in Mechanicville, New York, on June 23.

Now, toxicology results have revealed that diphenhydramine, the active ingredient...

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) filed an amended complaint Tuesday morning in an Alabama federal court, showing it’s prepared to take the extraordinary step of expelling LSU from the conference. The conference presidents have scheduled a vote on whether to expel the Tigers from the league, stemming from the school’s potential to add former NFL players to its football roster. The SEC amended the federal lawsuit it filed against LSU last week, asking a judge to issue a temporary restraining order to prevent the school from interfering with the scheduled meeting of university presidents and chancellors. ESPN shared further: The SEC...

Michelle Obama remains in love with the Balearic Islands, where she travels every year in style. Her love affair leads her to enjoy the emerald waters, the interior corners, and the sophisticated (and expensive) Mediterranean lifestyle she discovered in the gardens of Marivent, when in a distant August of 2010 she had lunch at the Mallorcan palace with the (then) princess Letizia and they hit it off. The chemistry of high politics and the globalist slogan progressivism has been gradually replaced over the years by leisure and royal-like disconnection, which Obama practices in the archipelago surrounded by all comforts, relying...

Next season of ABC’s late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will be the last, Page Six is told. “His contract is not getting extended,” a source familiar with the situation explained. The season begins Tuesday and would wrap up, after 24 years on the air, in May 2027. A spokesperson for ABC Entertainment told us, “[This] information is inaccurate — any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative.” Kimmel takes pride in signing year-to-year deals, which are rare in the TV biz and allow him unusual flexibility. The news comes on the heels of Rosie...

The Argentine government has said that it will file criminal charges against oil company Navitas Petroleum for operating in seas off the Falkland Islands. The move came just days after Argentine President Javier Milei said he would sanction oil companies drilling in the British overseas territory in the south-west Atlantic Ocean. Sovereignty of the archipelago remains disputed between the UK and Argentina more than 40 years after a British military task force ejected Argentine forces which had invaded the territory in 1982. Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, McNeill said that "the decision by the Falkland Islands government...

It was Christmas Day when Annie decided she was going to leave her husband. There had been no blowout fight, no infidelity, not even a borderline offensively thoughtless Christmas gift. But Annie had seen something she couldn’t unsee. “Episode Six: The Cottage. That was the turning point,” says Annie, a 38-year-old teacher. “I remember just sitting there thinking, This is so far from my reality.” Nine months after it aired in the U.S., where it averaged over 10.6 million viewers per episode, the influence of Heated Rivalry has only grown, so much so that it has begun to infiltrate a...

The jury foreperson in Lindsay Clancy’s high-stakes triple murder trial detailed just how close the panel was to finding the killer mom not guilty by reason of insanity until one “arrogant” male holdout juror blocked the verdict. “He admitted he had reasonable doubt after we watched the video of the interview,” the female juror told NBC 10 Boston in an interview with two other women jury members. “I started filling out forms, I was so excited,” the woman said. “There were three forms I had to fill out and I started filling them out, I wrote my signature on each...

# CHAPTER ONE ## Welfare Check Deputy Caleb Mercer had spent enough years wearing a badge to understand that Saturdays had their own personality. Friday nights belonged to drunks, domestic arguments, teenagers who had borrowed more courage than judgment, and grown men who somehow reached forty without learning that nothing good followed the sentence, *Watch this*. Sunday mornings were quieter, particularly during deer season and football season, when half the county was either in church, in the woods, or sitting in front of a television. Saturdays fell somewhere in between. People had time to notice things on Saturdays. They noticed...
