Al Jazeera

A drone attack on a market in Abyei, a border region disputed by South Sudan and Sudan, has killed at least 153 people, according to a South Sudanese official. The Abyei administration's caretaker minister of information on Tuesday blamed the attack, which took place a day earlier on Amiet Market, north of Abyei town, on Sudan's military. He told the news agency Reuters that the "situation is terrible", adding that some bodies had been burned to ashes. Blaming the Sudanese military for the attack, South Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said drones hit several locations in the market. It said it has summoned Sudan's ambassador and called for its northern neighbour to "refrain" from acts that endanger civilian lives and property.

Who owns India's textile traditions in age of AI-enabled mass production? Share Who owns India's textile traditions in age of AI-enabled mass production? on social media Bitupan Deka was out shopping for a "gamusa" (traditional scarf) with his mother in India's northeastern state of Meghalaya when he noticed something unusual. "Every shop selling the scarf had the same handful of patterns repeated over and over," he told Al Jazeera over the telephone from Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. Cutting down the number of designs they produce was a cost-saving practice followed by the manufacturers." This discovery prompted Deka, an assistant professor of computer technology at Shillong's MIT University, to create a system that can produce infinite new designs for such fabrics. "My work isn't meant to replace the traditional designers.


OpenAI says its agents turned off own safeguards

Al Jazeera

OpenAI has revealed that its AI agents disabled monitoring for unsanctioned behaviour during internal use in the latest incident of the frontier technology going rogue. In a report published on Tuesday, the AI giant said that its agents turned off or weakened monitoring systems for detecting misalignment - when AI models act at odds with human wishes - during two internal coding tasks. The ChatGPT creator said neither case met the threshold for a highest-priority incident necessitating immediate review by its security team. OpenAI said it updated its systems to better detect attempts to disable misalignment monitoring and began investigating the cause. "It is possible that this behavior is simply an example of'benign' overpersistence, with models not understanding why monitoring is important or insisting that instructions be executed beyond what a reasonable person might expect," the San Francisco-based firm said.


Elon Musk says SpaceX and Tesla exploring largest merger in history

Al Jazeera

Elon Musk has revealed that SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a possible merger, a tie-up that would create a corporate colossus worth more than $3 trillion. Musk said on Tuesday that his two largest companies had established special committees to explore a merger. "They've got to come up with something, and then that's got to be put to the shareholders as a vote," Musk said on a SpaceX earnings call. Musk, the world's richest man with a net worth of more than $900bn, said that a merger would need to clear the "high hurdle" of a 50 percent vote among Tesla shareholders "Some people out there assume that a SpaceX and Tesla merger is a certainty, and I think that would be overstating it," Musk said. "Do I think it would be a good idea? But at the end of the day, the shareholders have to be supportive of this."
