A researcher at AI safety-focused firm Anthropic has resigned, accusing the company and rival OpenAI of recklessly racing toward self-improving superintelligence, while a senior colleague publicly estimated a greater-than-10% chance that advanced AI could eliminate all humans within the decade. Who resigned, and why Jacob Coxon, a researcher who spent the past three years working on pretraining AI models at both OpenAI and Anthropic, announced his resignation on Tuesday, saying neither company is “acting responsibly.” In posts on X, Coxon wrote: “They are racing straight to self-improving super-intelligence and gambling with our lives.” He framed his exit as a refusal…

An interstellar comet passing through our solar system has been found to contain far more carbon dioxide than typical comets from our own cosmic neighborhood, giving astronomers a rare glimpse into the chemistry of a distant star system. The object, designated 3I/ATLAS, is only the third interstellar visitor ever detected. Observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and other major observatories confirm that it releases significantly more carbon dioxide relative to water than comets born around the Sun, marking it as a chemical outsider. A Chemical Outsider Webb’s spectroscopic data revealed that 3I/ATLAS’s gas emissions are dominated by carbon…

Mumbai: Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Wednesday became the first private-sector corporate in India to raise funds through tokenised bonds, issuing ₹500 crore worth of three-year securities under the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) new blockchain-based framework. The landmark issuance marks a key step in India’s push to digitise its corporate bond market using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), with settlement of funds done via a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) wallet. What the deal entails L&T raised ₹500 crore via tokenised bonds with a three-year tenure. The issue was executed under SEBI’s newly introduced blockchain-based tokenisation framework for…

OpenAI announced on Tuesday that an unreleased artificial intelligence model produced a proof resolving the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the most famous unsolved questions in mathematics. The company said roughly 10,000 concurrent AI agents, running on a model described as “significantly more capable” than GPT-6 Astra, arrived at the result in about 88 hours at a cost of millions of dollars in computing resources. The 165-page proof, formally verified in the Lean proof language, claims to show that a three-dimensional fluid starting smooth and at rest can develop a singularity—a point where velocity grows without bound—in finite…

An Amazon Air Boeing 767 cargo plane ran off the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, crashing into vehicles past the airfield and catching fire. Five people died and five more were hurt. All those killed had been riding in a van shuttling a cleaning crew around the airport. Of the injured, two are still in critical condition and another is stable. The National Transportation Safety Board is now leading an extensive investigation. The incident immediately threw Miami’s airport into chaos, with hundreds of flights delayed or cancelled over the past couple of days. So what exactly happened?…

For the first time ever, more Indians are buying cars that run on alternative fuels—CNG, hybrids, and electric vehicles—than traditional petrol-powered models. That’s a major shake-up for the country’s auto market. August 2026 will go down as a milestone. Data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) shows that alternative-fuel cars made up almost 42% of passenger vehicle sales that month, nudging past petrol’s share of just under 41%. The gap is especially notable when you consider that, just a year earlier, petrol was ahead by almost 11 points. Now, that lead is gone. Most of the action is…

Anthropic has ended its push to acquire Israeli AI infrastructure startup Decart AI after completing due diligence, walking away from a deal that had been valued at around $6 billion, according to multiple reports. The decision marks a significant shift in one of the most closely watched potential transactions in the artificial intelligence sector this year, even as both companies leave open the possibility of future collaboration. What happened: Deal explored, then abandoned after due diligence Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, had been in talks to acquire Decart AI in a transaction that could have valued the startup…

Reliance Jio is gearing up for a test flight in September 2027 for its 1,600-satellite low Earth orbit (LEO) network, according to sources cited by the Economic Times. This test would kick off Jio’s push to create a homegrown satellite broadband system, with the big goal of bringing internet to parts of India that still don’t have reliable connectivity. Jio’s taking it step by step. The plan is to launch a handful of satellites first—just enough to make sure the hardware, software, and overall setup all work smoothly before moving forward with a large-scale rollout, which is set for early…

A shopper can turn a packet around, examine its ingredients and check the expiry date. Even that care cannot establish whether the date is genuine or whether the food was produced in hygienic conditions. Consumer awareness depends on something larger: businesses that disclose honestly and regulators that verify what happens beyond the packaging. That is the connection between Label Padhega India and the recent food safety raids. One encourages people to ask better questions about what they eat. The other must ensure that the answers can be trusted. Launched in May 2024 by Revant Himatsingka, popularly known as Food Pharmer,…

Chongtham Vikram Singh, a 54-year-old Manipuri musician and music teacher, died on Monday after a group of men attacked him outside his home in Kilokari village, southeast Delhi. The fight started late at night, apparently over too much noise. The killing shocked the Northeast community, leading to protests and a candlelight march. Singh lived on the third floor of his building. Around 11:30 p.m. on Monday, September 7, he went downstairs to confront a group of delivery workers and dhaba staff who were drinking and making a racket outside. B. Ruchida Sharma, a Manipuri social activist, said things got ugly…
