Donald Trump has departed for Malaysia, where he's set to attend the ASEAN summit and hold trade talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Speaking before he left, the US President criticised Canada over its'crooked ad' about tariffs, and said he'd be open to meeting North Korea's Kim Jong Un.

'I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.' HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. 'I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.' HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. AI models may be developing their own'survival drive', researchers say Like 2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown When HAL 9000, the artificial intelligence supercomputer in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, works out that the astronauts onboard a mission to Jupiter are planning to shut it down, it plots to kill them in an attempt to survive. Now, in a somewhat less deadly case (so far) of life imitating art, an AI safety research company has said that AI models may be developing their own "survival drive". After Palisade Research released a paper last month which found that certain advanced AI models appear resistant to being turned off, at times even sabotaging shutdown mechanisms, it wrote an update attempting to clarify why this is - and answer critics who argued that its initial work was flawed.

The U.S. military has begun operating surveillance drones over the Gaza Strip in recent days as part of a broader effort to ensure that both Israel and Hamas adhere to a fragile cease-fire agreement, Israeli and American military officials said. The drones have been used to monitor ground activity in Gaza, with the consent of Israel, according to two Israeli military officials and a U.S. defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational details. They said they were not able to share the drones' flight paths. Those three officials added that the surveillance missions were operating to support a new Civil-Military Coordination Center in southern Israel, which was established last week by the U.S. military's Central Command, in part to monitor the cease-fire. The truce deal, brokered by American, Qatari, and Egyptian mediators earlier this month, has been strained by a recent flare-up of violence in Gaza and lingering tensions over the exchange of deceased Israelis and Palestinians.

US border patrol is asking companies to submit plans to turn standard 4x4 trucks into AI-powered watchtowers--combining radar, cameras, and autonomous tracking to extend surveillance on demand. A US Customs and Border Protection agent stands guard as hundreds of protesters gather near an ICE facility opposing the detention of undocumented immigrants. The US Department of Homeland Security is seeking to develop a new mobile surveillance platform that fuses artificial intelligence, radar, high-powered cameras, and wireless networking into a single system, according to federal contracting records reviewed by WIRED. The technology would mount on 4x4 vehicles capable of reaching remote areas and transforming into rolling, autonomous observation towers, extending the reach of border surveillance far beyond its current fixed sites. The proposed system surfaced Friday after US Customs and Border Protection quietly published a pre-solicitation notice for what it's calling a Modular Mobile Surveillance System, or M2S2.

Astronomers Have Discovered Earth's Latest Quasi-Lunar Moon As mankind was planning the first moon landing in the 1960s, an asteroid approached Earth--and still hasn't left. The Earth has just added its seventh confirmed quasi-lunar moon. It is 2025 PN7, a small Apollo-type asteroid detected in August solely by its brightness, thanks to the Hawaiian Pan-STARRS 1 telescope. After analyzing its trajectory, scientists concluded that the object maintains a 1:1 resonance with the Earth. From a distant perspective, this synchronicity makes it look as if the Earth is accompanied by a tiny asteroid--as if it had an additional moon.
