A Google Employee Said He Quit Because He’s Worried about Superintelligent AI

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Google employee said he resigned from the company, citing the pursuit of powerful artificial intelligence as “inherently irresponsible.”

Robert O’Callahan, who worked at Google DeepMind, wrote in an X post that his team was developing chips to make AI faster and cheaper and that he believed AI was already “progressing too fast.”

He shared a resignation letter on his personal blog that he said he sent to colleagues on Friday, in which he wrote that he couldn’t “turn a blind eye” to the impact of his work because it “would not be a Jesus-following thing to do.” He describes himself as a Christian in his blog’s bio.

“This has not been an easy decision. I love my colleagues and my work environment, and being paid handsomely to solve fun puzzles has been amazing,” he wrote. “But my team’s goal is ultimately to make AI much cheaper and lower-latency, and I don’t think that’s good for people right now: I firmly believe AI progress is currently far too rapid (and I have doubts about the destination too).”

Business Insider could not establish how long O’Callahan, who says he is based in New Zealand, worked for Google. Approached for comment, O’Callahan referred Business Insider to the blog post. Google declined to comment.

O’Callahan joins a string of employees from AI companies who have either quit over safety concerns or sounded the alarm from within. (Read more from “A Google Employee Said He Quit Because He’s Worried about Superintelligent AI” HERE)

The Surprising Way Girls and Boys Behave Differently just Hours After Birth

/1 Comment/in , , /by

It’s an age-old question: How much of the differences between the way men and women behave are a result of nature, and how much is nurture?

A new study could shed more light on this. It shows different behavior between newborn boys and girls could appear just hours after birth.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge believe forces at work before birth — like sex hormone levels, might play a role, or even that the changes are a result of a slightly faster cognitive development in newborn girls.

They showed newborns — only about 33 hours old — two videos. One was a human face, the other, an animated Newton’s cradle (swinging metallic spheres).

Both sexes spent slightly longer looking at the face than at the Newton’s cradle. But researchers found that girls spent proportionally more of their looking time on the face than boys did. (Read more from “The Surprising Way Girls and Boys Behave Differently just Hours After Birth” HERE)

UN adds Over 60 Companies to Israel Blacklist

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United Nations’ human rights office added 61 companies to a blacklist of businesses with activities in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem, in an annual report released on Friday.

The Database of Business Enterprises now holds details on 214 companies, based in 11 countries, including major operations like Motorola, along with travel apps such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Tripadvisor. Five entities were removed since last year’s publication.

The blacklist is issued by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

It was created in 2020 under a UN Human Rights Council resolution mandate during the tenure of Michelle Bachelet, who dropped out of the race for UN secretary-general on Sept. 19, 2026, after the former Chilean president received the support of only one of the 15 UN Security Council members.

“This is a distorted mechanism—created by a deeply flawed body with an automatic majority against Israel. It was established solely to persecute the Jewish state, with no equivalent anywhere else in the world,” the Israeli mission to the UN in Geneva said in a statement.

Trump And Xi Found One Thing In Common On AI

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s biggest takeaway on artificial intelligence from his meeting with Chinese leadership was a new name for the technology.

Chinese President Xi Jinping “seemed to like” renaming artificial intelligence to “Super Intelligence” during the leaders’ Thursday summit at the White House, where they discussed the technology, the president said in a Friday Truth Social post. State Department staff were instructed to use the new term after Trump announced the change on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly, the Hill reported.

“Very productive meeting with President Xi for both the U.S.A. and China. Tremendous things will be happening,” the president said in a Friday morning Truth Social post. “Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be ‘SUPER!’ Everyone last night agreed, also.”

However, Xi did not use the term “Super Intelligence” when he spoke about the technology on Thursday.“We have both the capability and responsibility to develop and manage AI for good, and ensure that the development of AI is always under human control and serves the well-being of the people,” Xi said, according to the Hill.

Could The Trump Admin’s New Grant Program Disrupt Higher Education?

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal grant program tailored towards the trades being adopted across the United States may help reshape higher education as millions of Americans go back to school.

North Carolina became the fifth state to be approved by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) for Workforce Pell (WFP) grants Friday, paving the way for more Americans to receive federal funds for pursuing career and technical education (CTE), according to a press release.

WFP’s implementation, which began July 1, 2026, under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act signed July 4, 2026, by President Donald Trump, comes after around 60% of American adults aged between 18-28 surveyed by ResumeTemplates.com in October 2025 reported they have considered pivoting towards the trades as opposed to traditional higher education.

“Workforce Pell is finally a reality after decades of debate—opening new doors for students across the nation,” ED spokesperson Ellen Keast told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This landmark student aid program is designed to move beyond the outdated college‑for‑all model and expand access to in-demand, workforce‑focused credentials that can be completed quickly and at lower cost.”

Some of the covered CTE programs could help individuals attain employment in as quickly as eight weeks, according to a May press release by ED. (Read more from “Could The Trump Admin’s New Grant Program Disrupt Higher Education?” HERE)

Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Hindustan Times. The mystery surrounding a boat-shaped formation in Turkey, which some researchers believe could be the remains of Noah’s Ark, has taken a new turn after fresh underground scans reportedly detected possible tunnels, chambers and multiple structural layers.

The findings come from an international team investigating the Durupınar Formation near Mount Ararat. The Daily Mail, which reported the findings exclusively, said researchers now claim they have “100 percent confirmed” that the formation is a “man-made object”.

However, the findings have not established that the site is the biblical Ark. Researchers say the radar readings and material recovered through drilling require further physical and scientific testing.

According to the Bible, Noah’s Ark saved humanity and every kind of animal from a catastrophic flood. Some biblical chronologies place the flood more than 4,300 years ago.

The latest radar surveys reportedly detected structural layers, straight lines, right-angle intersections and large cavity-like spaces at different depths. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground” HERE)

Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure

By Newsweek. A team searching for the remains of Noah’s Ark shared a video from inside a 515-foot boat-shaped formation in Turkey that they believe could contain the biblical ship’s remains. On X, the team referred to the video as the first look at “footage from inside Noah’s Ark.”

The international group of archaeologists, geologists and soil scientists announced on Wednesday that they had started collecting core samples from the Durupınar Formation, which has attracted people hoping to find Noah’s Ark since its outline was identified in 1959.

Preliminary radar data do not show “a simple homogeneous solid-rock signature,” said Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans. His U.S.-based group is working with Bakhtar Research and Engineering LLC, whose scientist, Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar, led the radar survey. The wider investigation is directed by archaeologist Cenker Atila of Sivas Cumhuriyet University.

Noah’s Ark Scans later posted footage from its Gopher drone, an “underground robot built to go where a person cannot” equipped with a high-resolution camera. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure” HERE)

New Report: Utah Valley University Tried to Warn Charlie Kirk’s Staff of Risks, but Team Ignored Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Utah Valley University leaders and its police chief repeatedly tried to raise security concerns ahead of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s scheduled appearance on campus last year.

But, according to a much-anticipated independent review released Friday, Kirk’s team brushed those warnings off.

The report says school staff suggested a few weeks before the Sept. 10, 2025, event that Turning Point USA should move it to a more secure location. The organization, though, insisted on having it in the open campus courtyard.

UVU also requested an estimated attendee count, but Turning Point USA, which contended that it would control ticketing for the event, never provided that number, the report states.

Shortly before the event, the university’s police chief, Jeff Long, personally texted Kirk’s private security adviser to meet about final safety measures. That meeting, according to the review, “did not occur.” (Read more from “New report: Utah Valley University Tried to Warn Charlie Kirk’s Staff of Risks, but Team Ignored Concerns” HERE)

Tim Tebow ‘Pausing’ Relationship with Christian Group after Bombshell Expose

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tim Tebow said he’s “pausing” his relationship with Life Surge after scam allegations emerged earlier this week.

The faith-based conference company was accused of using predatory sales tactics to push attendees into expensive financial and investment programs, according to a joint investigation by “Pablo Torre Finds Out” and Mother Jones.

Tebow, 39, said he was “caught off guard” by the report when speaking to the Gainesville Sun on Friday.

“I think the allegations are extremely, extremely serious, and it’s something that we take very seriously,” Tebow said. “We’re having our team do an investigation, but also pausing our relationship so we can learn more about the facts to be able to understand more.”

When asked whether he knew about the questionable practices before the report came out, Tebow didn’t offer much clarity. (Read more from “Tim Tebow ‘Pausing’ Relationship with Christian Group after Bombshell Expose” HERE)

‘Absolute Hate’ Farm Attack Victim Recounts Experience With Anti-White Ravagers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A South African woman and her husband were attacked in a hate-fueled home invasion; she spoke exclusively to the Daily Caller about the harrowing experience and the steps the Trump administration is taking to end the violence.

The Afrikaner, Amanda Platt, shared her story with the Daily Caller Thursday, claiming that her attackers were granted “permission” by her government through the incitement of violence towards the country’s white minority.

In August 2023, Amanda and her husband, Tim, were asleep when several men broke into their home. Amanda immediately knew that if the attackers succeeded in capturing her, she could be tortured for hours, maybe days, before being left for dead on the land where her ancestors have lived since the 1600s.

“So you either got to be brave or die at the hands of these brutal, you know, be brutally murdered. That’s just what it is,” Amanda told the Caller Thursday, “and for us it’s like normal.”

Amanda and Tim fought to defend their home for an hour before they were finally overwhelmed as the first intruder made it through the door, crowbar in hand.
