Apparent UFO images leak from Pentagon's secret data retrieval program 'Immaculate Constellation'
An email containing incredible UFO images allegedly from US military UFO sightings has been leaked online by an anonymous source. The leaker claimed that they had accessed an alleged top secret UFO'data retrieval program' known as'Immaculate Constellation' -- made famous this past November in a blockbuster public hearing before Congress. The black-and-white images show ornately spiked'cruciform' UFOs, boomerang-shaped flying wings, a floating'hot' cube, traditional flying saucers and several other craft that look straight out of classic science fiction. The screengrabs are said to be from infrared and thermal camera footage taken by military'heads up displays,' but details were redacted to protect both sensitive US national security interests. These unsettling depictions of highly varied craft were first made public by Nathan Latvaitis, who runs a YouTube channel called'Strange Mysteries.'

Drone sighting reported over New Jersey's largest reservoir as feds investigate unnerving phenomenon
Fox News correspondent Nate Foy breaks down what witnesses are saying about the drones flying over New Jersey on'Your World.' Officials in New Jersey say they're taking mystery drone sightings, now reported in 10 counties across the state, "seriously," with the suspicious aircraft recently confirmed to have been spotted near the state's largest reservoir. The reason for the drones' presence near the Round Valley Reservoir in Hunterdon County, near the Garden State's border with Pennsylvania, is unclear, according to NJ.com. Similarly unclear are any potential connections to other drones spotted in the recent onslaught of suspicious activity that's taken the state by storm, the outlet continues. The drone sighting near the reservoir wasn't the only recent one in Hunterdon County โ another was reported near its 911 Center in Flemington.

OpenAI may launch Sora, its text-to-video model, very soon
OpenAI will start announcing new features and demos tomorrow for 12 days through livestreams. Sources familiar with the matter told The Verge that these new products will allegedly include OpenAI's long-awaited text-to-video tool, Sora, and a new reasoning model. The announcement for "12 Days of OpenAI", as the company puts it, was made public on X yesterday.

Sora was revealed early this year, and shared with a small group of testers. But 20 or so of those artists leaked the model to the public in protest of "unpaid labor," The Washington Post reported.
Fox News AI Newsletter: AI catches cancer that mammogram misses
MAMMO MISHAP: A U.K. woman is thanking artificial intelligence for saving her life.

Meta says AI-generated content was less than 1 precent of election misinformation
AI-generated content played a much smaller role in global election misinformation than what many officials and researchers had feared, according to a new analysis from Meta. In an update on its efforts to safeguard dozens of elections in 2024, the company said that AI content made up only a fraction of election-related misinformation that was caught and labeled by its fact checkers. "During the election period in the major elections listed above, ratings on AI content related to elections, politics and social topics represented less than 1% of all fact-checked misinformation," the company shared in a blog post, referring to elections in the US, UK, Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, France, South Africa, Mexico and Brazil, as well as the EU's Parliamentary elections. The update comes after numerous government officials and researchers for months raised the alarm about the role generative AI could play in supercharging election misinformation in a year when more than 2 billion people were expected to go to the polls. But those fears largely did not play out -- at least on Meta's platforms -- according to the company's President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg.
Canadian publishers take OpenAI to court
In the newest legal battle between artificial intelligence and pretty much everybody else, OpenAI is once again on the chopping block. The group is seeking up to 20,000 Canadian for each article used by OpenAI, The Guardian reported. "Rather than seek to obtain the information legally, OpenAI has elected to brazenly misappropriate the News Media Companies' valuable intellectual property and convert it for its own uses, including commercial uses, without consent or consideration," the filing, which The Verge published, reads. The filing goes on to allege that OpenAI has "capitalized on the commercial success of its GPT models, building an expansive suite of GPT-based products and services, and raising significant capital -- all without obtaining a valid license from any of the News Media Companies. In doing so, OpenAI has been substantially and unjustly enriched to the detriment of the News Media Companies."

Five Canadian news media outlets sue OpenAI for copyright breach
Microsoft is OpenAI's major backer. In a statement, Torstar, Postmedia, The Globe and Mail, The Canadian Press, and CBC/Radio-Canada said OpenAI was scraping large swaths of content to develop its products without getting permission or compensating content owners.
