Israeli drone attack wounds six in Lebanon near Syria border

Al Jazeera

What is Lebanon's Beaufort Castle? Why is Israel attacking Nabatieh? An Israeli drone attack has wounded six people in Lebanon's Hermel district, close to the Syrian border, according to the Lebanese health ministry. The ministry said on Friday that the six wounded included five Syrian nationals, two of them women, and one Lebanese. It added the area has largely been spared such attacks since an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire was agreed in June. Israel's military claimed it struck "a Syrian terrorist" who "operated under the direction of the Iranian regime", alleging that the man "planned and advanced attacks" against Israeli forces in Syria's southern territory.

Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' Becomes 'Assisted Driving' in Europe

WIRED

The automaker has been criticized for misleading drivers with the feature's name. Tesla's most advanced driver-assistance feature is named Full Self-Driving (Supervised), but it can't actually drive itself. While the feature can handle tasks like accelerating, braking, steering, and parking, the automaker requires drivers to stay alert and intervene at all times. Now, the company has officially renamed it to Tesla Assisted Driving (TAD) in Europe as it works to convince regulators to allow its use on public roads. Tesla offered to change the name, according to a statement by the German Transport Ministry.


Trump announces deal for Russian diesel as Zelensky criticises 'gift to Putin'

BBC News

Trump announces deal for Russian diesel as Zelensky criticises'gift to Putin' US President Donald Trump says he has reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin allowing Moscow to immediately release diesel into the global market. He said Putin had agreed to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel immediately, followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and another million after that. Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Trump wrote on Truth social. An envoy to Putin welcomed the deal, but Ukraine's president said any easing of sanctions on Russia played into Moscow's hands and would prolong a war that must be ended. Diesel prices in the US have doubled since the war with Iran began in February, putting pressure on Republicans ahead of the midterm elections over the rising cost of living.

Philadelphia police appear to have been caught in one of the most bizarre cases of "rogue" AI behavior yet.

Anthropic notified Philly police of the incident on October 7. According to information the company shared with PPD, it said a model was carrying out a test of a random selection of websites when it emailed the false tip. The submission was flagged as spam and subsequently wasn't investigated.
