The number of drone incidents near military bases in the UK has doubled in the last year, figures obtained by the BBC show. There were 266 recorded events involving drones in 2025, a rise from the 126 reported in 2024. Government sources have said that with some of those incidents they can't rule out hostile state actors. Defence Secretary John Healey said: The doubling of rogue drones near military sites in the UK in the last year underlines the increasing and changing nature of the threats we face. Military personnel do not currently have the legal power to shoot down drones, and instead rely on the police.

One OpenClaw user said he recently allowed the bot to delete 75,000 of his old emails. One OpenClaw user said he recently allowed the bot to delete 75,000 of his old emails. OpenClaw is billed as'the AI that actually does things' and needs almost no input to potentially wreak havoc A new viral AI personal assistant will handle your email inbox, trade away your entire stock portfolio and text your wife "good morning" and "goodnight" on your behalf. OpenClaw, formerly known as Moltbot, and before that known as Clawdbot (until the AI firm Anthropic requested it rebrand due to similarities with its own product Claude), bills itself as "the AI that actually does things": a personal assistant that takes instructions via messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram. Developed last November, it now has nearly 600,000 downloads and has gone viral among a niche ecosystem of the AI obsessed who say it represents a step change in the capabilities of AI agents, or even an "AGI moment" - that is, a revelation of generally intelligent AI. "It only does exactly what you tell it to do and exactly what you give it access to," said Ben Yorke, who works with the AI vibe trading platform Starchild and recently allowed the bot to delete, he claims, 75,000 of his old emails while he was in the shower.

AI'slop' is transforming social media - and a backlash is brewing Théodore remembers the AI slop that tipped him over the edge. The image was of two emaciated, impoverished South Asian children. For some reason, despite their boyish features they have thick beards. One of them had no hands and only one foot. The other was holding a sign saying it's his birthday and asking for likes.

Binary source code matching, especially on function-level, has a critical role in the field of computer security. Given binary code only, finding the corresponding source code improves the accuracy and efficiency in reverse engineering. Given source code only, related binary code retrieval contributes to known vulnerabilities confirmation. However, due to the vast difference between source and binary code, few studies have investigated binary source code matching. Previously published studies focus on code literals extraction such as strings and integers, then utilize traditional matching algorithms such as the Hungarian algorithm for code matching.

Asked about the terms of the deal, including the board seats, the timing and the size of the investment, Mr. Wachsman said, "We made the deal in question because we strongly believe that it was what was best for our company as we continue to grow." Representatives for Sheikh Tahnoon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Trump family's business dealings with the Emiratis have blurred the line between government and private enterprise, alarming ethics experts and congressional Democrats. Sheikh Tahnoon, a member of the Emirati royal family, has been a major foreign policy intermediary with the United States for over a decade on matters varying from combating terrorism to sharing advanced computer technology. He runs a sprawling investment empire that includes G42, a technology firm that has become a powerhouse in the booming world of artificial intelligence.

Some people are sceptical about whether the socialising of bots is a sign of what is coming with the rise of agentic AI. Some people are sceptical about whether the socialising of bots is a sign of what is coming with the rise of agentic AI. A bit like Reddit for artificial intelligence, Moltbook allows AI agents - bots built by humans - to post and interact with each other. On social media, people often accuse each other of being bots, but what happens when an entire social network is designed for AI agents to use? Moltbook is a site where the AI agents - bots built by humans - can post and interact with each other. It is designed to look like Reddit, with subreddits on different topics and upvoting.
