on the AI industry to slow down.
“And Pure Shannon Bon reports, concerns are growing that developers are racing toward building”
AI that humans can't control." In a new essay, Amode says AI companies should deliberately slow the pace that which they improve their models' capabilities, because the technology is advancing so quickly. He says he's worried about a recent incident where rival OpenAI's agents went rogue and hacked another company.
Amode says labs need to embed third-party evaluators to report incidents and track safety
practices, and that Anthropic will do so. He's also calling for international cooperation around AI development. Public warnings about AI safety are mounting after the recent resignation of an Anthropic researcher who warned the AI industry is not acting responsibly, Shannon Bonne and Pure News.

“If yours Franco or Donia's reports, the friendly visit hints at the kind of a relationship”
Trump would like to have with the rest of Europe. When he met with the Irish T-shock, and we hail Martin, President Trump boasted that
the relationship with Ireland has never been as good as it is right now.
But later in the day, Trump made clear that his opinions are very different about other European leaders who turned him down when it came to helping with Iran. "No would rather not get involved, President, oh thank you very much, but I put it down because why the hell are we helping them?" Ireland may be a small country, but given its military neutrality, it has been able to avoid
some of the tensions that Trump has had with NATO allies over burden-sharing and support for the US. Franco, or Donia's, and PR news, Dean Bag, Ireland. President Trump this week promised that gas prices will come down after the midterm elections. And here's when Sir Johnston reports he blames the US war with Iran for the increase,
“but he hasn't explained what would bring the costs down.”
Americans are feeling the effects, even if they're not filling up at the pump, diesel powers the machinery used to grow food and move goods across the country. Jason Kurtz is a farmer in Farah city, Missouri. He says one piece of equipment alone burns through 200 gallons of fuel a day. "We have to harvest, and we have to run the machines, we have to use the diesel.
So, bottom line is it cuts into our bottom line." And that costs keeps climbing. The national average for diesel has reached another record high. $6.16 a gallon. According to AAA, that's up more than $10 since Friday and nearly $2.46 from a year ago.
Windsor-Johnston and PR news. And you're listening to NPR News from Washington. North Korea has launched multiple missiles into the sea following US, South Korean, and Japanese joint military exercises. And here's Anthony Cune reports, "It's the fourth such launch since early last month."
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff say the short-range ballistic missiles were launched from the East Coast town of One Sun, and flew eastward some 250 miles into the sea. South Korea's national security office held an emergency meeting to discuss the launch, and criticized it as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions. The launch comes a day after the US South Korea and Japan wrapped up joint drills,
which North Korea called provocative and warned wood trigger unspecified countermeasures. Last month President Trump ordered US South Korean joint drills shortened in an apparent attempt to restart diplomacy with North Korea, but Pyongyang dismissed the move as insufficient. Anthony Cune in PR News sold. The Atlantic hurricane season is unusually quiet this year.
And as of today, it's the longest start to a season in the Atlantic without a hurricane, since a satellite era began, and that's a record. It's thanks to the strong El Nino, which disrupts storm formation over that ocean. No hurricanes have formed yet and only five week tropical storms have appeared. Experts say the system creates conditions that prevent storms from developing
despite warm ocean waters. Meanwhile, the Pacific is experiencing increased storm activity, including tropical storm Norbert, which is about 1,700 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii. I'm Jeanine Herbst, NPR News in Washington. This is our glass. On this American life, we tell stories about when things change, like for this guy David,
who's an entire life took a sharp and expected and very unpleasant turn.
And it did take me a while to realize that it's basically because the monkey pressed the button.
That's right, because the monkey pressed the button.
