The AI Safety Debate Has Lost the Plot. The risk of nuclear catastrophe is real, as is the fallout of the China-US domination game (hi there, spies). But no need to panic about Skynet. In early fall, I felt my anxiety rising from its usual baseline. Was it September's back-to-school energy? Nope, I realized with annoyance: It was AI--again. Only this time, instead of its purveyors warning of massive job displacement, they were foretelling mass extinction. Who needs jobs when we're all dead? Curiosity soon replaced my knee-jerk irritation. The summer of 2026 was a clear turning point in the AI narrative. Less than four years after ChatGPT launched, OpenAI software broke out of a supposedly safe test environment and hacked into a major open-source platform, Hugging Face . These bits of software-- AI agents --were assigned human attributes: They had "gone rogue," displayed "bad behavior," "cheated."

'They started bombing us with drones': Russian attacks unnerve Zaporizhzhia Share'They started bombing us with drones': Russian attacks unnerve Zaporizhzhia on social media There are only eight people left in Volodymyr's village. That was the last count he remembers before deciding to leave. "We were in the cellar when they started bombing us with drones," he said, nervously rubbing his red, blistered hands together. "As you can see, I was completely burned." The villages south of Zaporizhzhia have been coming under escalating Russian attacks. On November 2, in one of this year's deadliest attacks in Ukraine, nine Russian glide bombs struck the town of Komyshuvakha, killing at least 50 people.

A senior UAE official says he is cautiously optimistic about U.S.-Iran nuclear talks through Qatari mediation, even as missile and drone attack threats persist in the Middle East.

When Stephanie Young's cat Buddy went missing from her garden in September last year, she flooded pet rescue sites and social media groups with information about him. Her hopes were raised when an image of him was sent through by a woman named Melissa, who claimed to have fed her cat and wanted reward money for her autistic grandchildren. The foster carer from Birmingham was 100% certain she had found her cat and remembered thinking Buddy had picked a lovely garden to sit in as she got money out of the bank to pay for his return. Within hours, she had agreed to meet Melissa nearby to collect him, but the individual never turned up, refused a cash payment and pushed for 100 Apple gift cards as a reward. Threats to sell or murder her pet soon followed when she discovered the images of Buddy were AI-generated and questioned the woman's authenticity.

Ukraine's air raid alert app was apparently hacked on Sunday and for a short time said the capital Kyiv was subject to a radiation threat, the Ukrainian Air Force has said.

Developments in the Gulf since the beginning of this year have raised fundamental questions about the security of the region in general and Qatar in particular. How can Qatar and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states become effective, independent military powers that do not rely on external security guarantees to ensure their safety? The question for Qatar is how it can build, over the next five years, a national defence capability that would enable it to protect the state and its vital interests even in the absence of Gulf or regional support, or if the United States provides only limited assistance. The aim is to explore whether Qatar can achieve what might be described as defence autonomy, rather than isolation. In other words, Qatar should remain open to alliances and partnerships without making its security dependent on the decisions of another state.
