Elena Rybakina moved one step closer to completing a career Grand Slam Saturday, defeating Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to win her first U.S. Open title. Rybakina had already been guaranteed to replace Sabalenka at No. 1 in the women's tennis world rankings next week, but she did more than inherit the top spot. She claimed the title Sabalenka had won the previous two years, making the changing of the guard official. Rybakina was still processing the special moment afterward.


Amodei, Altman call for slowing AI model development

The Japan Times

Leaders of the world's biggest artificial intelligence platforms said it's time to slow the development pace of their most advanced -- and most lucrative -- models, citing escalating risks of the technology. Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei issued a lengthy blog post Saturday saying his company would implement new safety steps such as third-party evaluators while calling on the industry to support a broader downshift. OpenAI chief Sam Altman quickly pledged to adopt Amodei's suggestion of "independent evaluators with employee-like access," while Elon Musk, who runs xAI Corp., wrote, "Dario is right."

Iraq probes drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, shuts three crossings to Iran

Al Jazeera

Did Iran capture a US submarine? Iraq has closed some border crossings with Iran while investigating drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline that it confirms were launched from its territory. The Iraqi government temporarily closed three of its crossings into Iran after drone launch sites were discovered in the country, an Iraqi security source told Al Jazeera on Saturday. He said that Iraq had primarily ordered the closure of the crossings over fears that the perpetrators of attacks could flee to Iran. Hewson also said the al-Tayyib border area of the southeastern province of Maysan had been shut after drone launchers were discovered there, and a search operation was under way.

Saudi Arabia shuts key oil pipeline after drone attack launched from Iraq

BBC News

Saudi Arabia has closed a critical oil pipeline after it was attacked by drones launched from Iraq, as conflict in the Middle East widens. Iraq said it had fired a military commander and launched an investigation after admitting the drone attack on its neighbour's East-West pipeline had originated in one of its provinces bordering Iran. The 1,200km (745 mile) pipeline has helped Saudi Arabia - the world's largest crude oil exporter - bypass the Strait of Hormuz. The incident comes amid a major advance by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, putting more pressure on global oil shipping routes as the US-Iran war stretches into its seventh month. Riyadh on Friday said it had shut the pipeline as a precaution, as satellite images of scorched ground and smoke near the site emerged.
