Woman kicks Southwest employee, punches computer monitors in violent airport meltdown

FOX News

A woman was captured on video attacking Southwest Airlines staff at Orlando International Airport during an apparent standby outburst. Video shows the moment a woman appeared to have a violent meltdown in the Southwest Airlines concourse at Orlando International Airport last week. "Motherf- - - -r, are you kidding me?" Velez-Rodriguez is heard saying on the video. Wearing a large backpack, shorts, a red long-sleeved shirt and a ballcap, she yells at an employee, saying she's trying to get to her destination to bury her brother. A woman had a meltdown at Orlando International Airport on August 14, 2025.


Internet Extremists Want To Make All AI Chatbots as Hateful as Grok Just Was

Mother Jones

On Tuesday, Grok, the AI-chatbot created by Elon Musk's xAI, began generating vile, bigoted and antisemitic responses to X users' questions, referring to itself as "MechaHitler," praising Hitler and "the white man," and, as a weird side-quest, making intensely critical remarks in both Turkish and English about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as well as Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. The melee followed a July 4 update to Grok's default prompts, which Musk characterized at the time as having "improved Grok significantly," tweeting that "You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions." "We must build our own AI…without the constraints of liberal propaganda." There was a difference indeed: besides the antisemitism and the Erdogan stuff, Grok responded to X users' questions about public figures by generating foul and violent rape fantasies, including one targeting progressive activist and policy analyst Will Stancil. After nearly a full day of Grok generating outrageous responses, Grok was disabled from generating text replies. Grok's own X account said that xAI had "taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X."


Robot retrieves radioactive fuel sample from Fukushima nuclear reactor site

The Guardian > Energy

A piece of the radioactive fuel left from the meltdown of Japan's tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has been retrieved from the site using a remote-controlled robot. Investigators used the robot's fishing-rod-like arm to clip and collect a tiny piece of radioactive material from one of the plant's three damaged reactors – the first time such a feat has been achieved. Should it prove suitable for testing, scientists hope the sample will yield information that will help determine how to decommission the plant. The plant's manager, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (Tepco), has said the sample was collected from the surface of a mound of molten debris that sits at the bottom of the Unit 2 reactor's primary containment vessel. The "telesco" robot, with its frontal tongs still holding the sample, returned to its enclosed container for safe storage after workers in full hazmat gear pulled it out of the containment vessel on Saturday.


Tepco to demonstrate removal of radioactive debris from Fukushima No. 1

The Japan Times

Tokyo Electric Power Co. will start a demonstration project as early as Thursday to remove a small amount of radioactive debris from its wrecked nuclear power plant in Fukushima. The operator of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, which suffered a meltdown after a massive earthquake and tsunami overwhelmed the facility in 2011, will start the experimental removal process at reactor No. 2 on Thursday, so long as necessary inspections are completed on time, an official from the company said in a news conference Monday. It's a step forward for the utility and the government, which estimates the complete decommissioning of the facility will take three to four decades. Removal of the deadly debris has proved challenging, requiring the development of a robotic arm that can fish out radioactive fuel, metal cladding and other structures in the reactor that melted, cooled and solidified together. Tepco has delayed the start of procedure in the past.


The Download: AI accelerating scientific discovery, and Tesla's EV charging meltdown

MIT Technology Review

What's new: Google DeepMind has released an improved version of its biology prediction tool, AlphaFold, that can predict the structures not only of proteins but of nearly all the elements of biological life. How they did it: AlphaFold 3's larger library of molecules and higher level of complexity required improvements to the underlying model architecture. So DeepMind turned to diffusion techniques, which have been steadily improving in recent years and power image and video generators. It works by training a model to start with a noisy image and then reduce that noise bit by bit until an accurate prediction emerges--a method that allows AlphaFold 3 to handle a much larger set of inputs. Why it matters: It's a development that could help accelerate drug discovery and other scientific research.


America's doomsday fears REVEALED: Worries range from World War 3 to killer robots - but another dreaded scenario is the scariest of all

Daily Mail - Science & tech

We live in frightening times. Wars in Ukraine and Gaza could widen, the polar ice caps are melting, and even some scientists developing artificial intelligence systems are worried about unleashing a monster. But those fears all pale in comparison to what really gives Americans the jitters. The calamity that worries them above all else is a total economic collapse in the US. The Pentagon's four legged robot dogs may offer a glimpse of what killer machines will look like An economic meltdown is the top fear for a third of respondents.


Inside Fukushima: Eerie drone footage reveals first ever look at melted nuclear reactor with 880 tonnes of radioactive fuel still inside - 13 years after disaster

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Eerie new drone footage has for the first time revealed the extent of the damage to the Fukushima nuclear power plant 13 years on from its meltdown. The plant's operators, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, or TEPCO, released 12 photos from inside the site, which are the first ever images from inside the main structural support called the pedestal in the hardest-hit reactor's primary containment vessel, an area directly under the reactor's core. Officials had long hoped to reach the area to examine the core and melted nuclear fuel which dripped there when the plant's cooling systems were damaged by a massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011. The high-definition color images captured by the drones show brown objects with various shapes and sizes dangling from various locations in the pedestal. Parts of the control-rod drive mechanism, which controls the nuclear chain reaction, and other equipment attached to the core were dislodged by the drones. The Fukushima disaster was one of the world's most devastating nuclear mishaps The plant's operators, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, or TEPCO, released 12 photos from inside the site TEPCO officials said they were unable to tell from the images whether the dangling lumps were melted fuel or melted equipment without obtaining other data such as radiation levels.
