Ukraine launches over 1,000 drones at Russia, setting oil facilities ablaze
Is the war entering a new phase? At least one person has been killed, and five others injured after Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia, one of Kyiv's largest aerial strikes in the war. St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said firefighters were battling fires sparked by Sunday's attacks on the St Petersburg oil terminal, the Ruchi oil depot and industrial warehouses in the Kolpinsky district south of the city. The attack disrupted flights at St Petersburg's main airport, one of the country's busiest, which was restricting operations "for safety reasons", Beglov said. Russian e-commerce company Ozon said there was a fire at its logistics hub in St Petersburg.
Anthropic to commit 5% stake to new 'public benefit fund'
Anthropic to commit 5% stake to new'public benefit fund' Anthropic cited the potential impact of artificial intelligence on workers as one area of focus for its new fund. Artificial intelligence lab Anthropic, the developer of Claude, said on Sunday it would commit 5% of its shares to a new public benefit fund so it has increased flexibility and scale to make donations for the "public good." The proposed fund would be established as a wholly owned limited liability company and would receive an additional 2% of Anthropic's shares, at the board's discretion, for every 50% increase in the company's value above a baseline that has yet to be disclosed. The move comes at a time when Anthropic is planning one of the biggest initial public offerings in history as a public benefit corporation, a legal structure that requires management to consider certain broader interests as well as turning a profit for investors. The company, which has positioned itself as a safety-first AI lab, has said AI could pose "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity" and devoted roughly 80 pages of the 261-page main body of its prospectus to laying out risk factors.

Kylie Minogue songs already used to train AI as tech firms'strong-arm' Australian government, music body warns Of the dozens of countries approached to water down their laws, Australia appears to be the only one considering it, publishers' group says John Phelan, the ICMP's managing director, told Guardian Australia AI companies were asking policymakers to "legitimise larceny". David Pocock concerned senior Albanese adviser'vetted' bipartisan AI letter that was sent to PM "They're trying to strong-arm Australian policymakers into'if you don't do this, we won't invest'." In July, Anthony Albanese said it would be "theft" if artists did not retain control over whether their work was used to build and train AI, and what they were paid for its use.

Ivan was cautious about how much detail he shared, making it impossible to verify the activities he claims to have carried out.

The Los Angeles Rams have another reason to complain about NFL officiating. They also have a 2-4 record after losing at home to an Arizona Cardinals team that entered Sunday with one win.
