Mention Lucy Letby and you're likely to get a strong reaction. The nurse was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more. But though two juries have convicted her, and she has twice been denied permission to appeal, it seems everyone has an opinion on whether she really did it. She has become the centre of an information war. The name Lady Justice Thirlwall, however, attracts less recognition. She's the judge who's been tasked with examining how Letby was able to commit her crimes at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015-2016, and whether her managers should have responded differently when suspicions about her were raised.

Afghan woman deported from US in first use of'alien terrorist' court An Afghan woman living in Texas with legal US permanent residency has been deported from the country in the first-ever use of a secretive court. Nazira Haji Zada, 47, chose to leave the US rather than continue to argue her case before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, according to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and her lawyers. The Alien Terrorist Removal Court was created in 1996, but had never heard a case before the proceedings in July. It is meant for non-US citizens facing terrorism-related charges when the evidence is confidential and related to national security. Lawyers for Haji Zada argued that the case violated her right to due process under the US Constitution.

Each September, a who's who of executives from across Silicon Valley descends on San Francisco's Palace Hotel to charm investors at a conference hosted by the investment bank Goldman Sachs. This past week, between talk of growth and potential returns, tech titans found themselves addressing the abrupt resignation of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon. Coxon, a 27-year-old who worked at OpenAI before joining its chief rival Anthropic, said on Tuesday that people building artificial intelligence (AI) believed the technology could destroy humanity. They are gambling with our lives, he said, these will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything. Coxon is by no means the first AI insider to publicly sound the alarm.

The Supreme Court dismissed a case on bond hearings for noncitizens in ICE detention after Gov. Kathy Hochul pardoned a lawful permanent resident facing deportation.

A subset of male gamers have spent years warning that the transgressive series has been neutered by progressive developers, but the backlash isn't taking hold. Rockstar Games' best-selling series wasn't often accused of political sensitivity during its legendary run from the late 1990s through the early 2010s. In fact, parents and activists denounced the franchise for exposing children to a seedy world of sex, violence, crude humor, and wanton crime. Elon Musk even claimed that he couldn't get into the last installment,, because he was mortified to play as a character who shoots police officers. In the 13 years that fans have waited for --finally out on November 19 --the American right-wing grievance machine has drifted from fears of impressionable kids turning to a life of larceny to concerns that they will grow up "woke."

Meta failed to catch roughly 350 AI child abuse ads, according to new research this week, including some that included images of real kids. In one case, a child depicted in an ad was a member of a European royal family. Lawmakers have said they intend to investigate, and the San Francisco City Attorney's Office ordered the company this week to stop "allowing" AI child abuse ads. In other Meta news, the company announced a new personal AI agent this week that can book your plane tickets or sell your car, but it emphasized heavy investment in security and privacy features, seemingly anticipating mistrust from consumers.

Current and former artificial intelligence researchers in the United States have issued dire warnings that the technology could soon lead to human extinction, capturing the attention of lawmakers in Washington. The most recent warning came in a lengthy social media post by Jacob Coxon, a San Francisco-based researcher who announced his resignation from Anthropic on Tuesday evening. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear," Coxon said in his post, which prompted a flurry of responses by AI experts also sounding the alarm. Evan Hubinger, a current Alignment Science lead at Anthropic, echoed his remarks, saying, "we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!
