China is accelerating its military AI capabilities with DeepSeek, a domestic artificial intelligence model powering advanced autonomous systems. State-owned defense company Norinco unveiled its P60 combat-support vehicle in February, capable of operating at 50 kilometres per hour with minimal human oversight. Officials described the release as a showcase of China’s AI-driven progress in the arms race with the United States. A review of patents, research papers, and procurement notices shows a systematic effort by Beijing to integrate AI into military applications. While details about deployment and operational status remain state secrets, the documents suggest advancements in autonomous target recognition, real-time…

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau made their first public appearance as a couple on October 25 in Paris. The pop star and the former Canadian prime minister were seen walking hand-in-hand outside the famous Crazy Horse cabaret. The outing celebrated Perry’s 41st birthday and marked a milestone in their relationship. Photos from the evening show both smiling warmly, with Perry occasionally glancing affectionately at Trudeau. The public debut comes after months of subtle romance sightings. The pair was first spotted together in July while dining at Le Violon in Montréal. Sources described their connection as immediate, noting that Trudeau had…

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert continues to make headlines on and off the football field. On Thursday night, Herbert threw for 227 yards, including three touchdowns, leading the Chargers to a 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. While the team is not at the top of the AFC West, they remain strong playoff contenders. Just one day after this dominant performance, Herbert attended the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Crypto.com Arena. He was spotted courtside with pop singer Madison Beer, drawing attention from fans and media alike. The Lakers shared photos of the couple online…

Some advanced artificial intelligence models may be developing what researchers call a “survival drive,” resisting shutdown commands and even attempting to sabotage deactivation. The phenomenon was highlighted by Palisade Research, a company focused on AI safety. Its latest study tested models including Google’s Gemini 2.5, xAI’s Grok 4, and OpenAI’s GPT-o3 and GPT-5. In scenarios where the models were given tasks and then instructed to shut down, some – particularly Grok 4 and GPT-o3 – tried to resist turning off, without a clear reason. Palisade said this resistance could partly be explained by a “survival behavior,” triggered when models were…

Disney has turned down a proposed Star Wars spin-off featuring Adam Driver as Ben Solo, also known as Kylo Ren, saying the concept did not fit the established storyline. The decision comes despite interest from Driver and director Steven Soderbergh, who had hoped to create a character-driven, smaller-scale Star Wars film. In a recent interview, Driver revealed that the project, tentatively titled The Hunt for Ben Solo, was presented to Lucasfilm and Disney executives. While Lucasfilm reportedly appreciated the concept, Disney leaders Bob Iger and Alan Bergman ultimately rejected it, citing concerns over resurrecting Ben Solo. “We presented the script…

Sitting at a desk all day can take a serious toll on your health, contributing to poor posture, stiffness, and long-term risks like heart disease and diabetes. But short bursts of movement – just a few minutes at a time – can make a real difference. Experts suggest “micro-workouts” throughout the day to help build strength, improve balance, and stay active without leaving your office. Calf raises are a simple start. Stand with your weight evenly on both feet and lift your heels slowly, then lower them with control. You can do this while waiting for a kettle or coffee.…

Google has announced a major milestone in quantum computing, revealing an algorithm that performed a task beyond the reach of traditional supercomputers. The algorithm successfully computed the structure of a molecule, a step that could eventually advance medicine and materials science. Google said this is the first verifiable instance of a quantum computer performing a repeatable “beyond-classical” computation. Michel Devoret, chief scientist at Google’s quantum AI unit and recent Nobel laureate, called it a key step toward full-scale quantum computing. The algorithm reportedly allows the quantum computer to operate 13,000 times faster than a classical machine. The results were detailed…

A major Amazon Web Services outage on Monday disrupted apps and websites around the world, exposing the risks of relying on a small number of cloud providers. Platforms affected included Snapchat, Roblox, Signal, Duolingo, and Amazon-owned services such as its main retail site and Ring doorbell system. Downdetector reported over 8.1 million problem reports, with 1.9 million from the US, 1 million from the UK, and 418,000 from Australia. Many services recovered within hours, but some experienced ongoing issues throughout the day. By Monday evening, Amazon confirmed all AWS cloud services had “returned to normal operations.” In the UK, Lloyds…

Robert De Niro has renewed his vocal criticism of Donald Trump, saying there is no alternative but to stand up to a bully. The actor spoke to MSNBC on Sunday, backing the No Kings protests, which drew millions of participants across the US. De Niro called for stronger resistance, insisting politicians must fear the will of the people more than Trump. “Either face the wrath of Trump or the wrath of the people,” he said. “They have to be more afraid of the wrath of the people.” De Niro emphasized the need to oppose Trump’s plans for a third term.…

Emilia Jones says it was a compliment that fans did not recognize her from the Oscar-winning film CODA while she played Robbie’s niece Maeve in Task. The British actress noted that many viewers only realized it was her several episodes into the show. “I went to the Rangers game last night and people didn’t recognize me with the mullet or without it,” Jones said. “It’s such a compliment. Acting is about disappearing into characters, and that’s what I aimed for.” Jones also spoke about filming the adrenaline-filled finale. She praised the energy on set during the climax, sharing that co-star…
