New Delhi: delhi policeAn initial investigation into the leak of a preprint of former Army Chief General MM Naravane’s (retd) unpublished memoir “Four Stars of Destiny” revealed that it was not the work of a suspicious whistleblower but a coordinated move to circumvent defense ministry clearance, an official said on Wednesday.The task force has since widened the scope of its investigation, adding charges of “conspiracy to commit criminal conspiracy” to the FIR and issued a notice to Indian publisher Penguin Random House, asking the company to answer a series of questions.The investigation focuses on the alleged sale or distribution of preprints in countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. “The first leaks were allegedly uploaded to the British Indian Ocean Territory’s .io domain extension.

Another voice within the “Big Three” artificial intelligence labs has expressed concerns about the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) following the recent resignation of Anthropic’s head of security.Hieu Pham, currently at open artificial intelligence The former xAI employee recently issued a stern warning about the industry’s trajectory, questioning “what else humans can do” once artificial intelligence becomes “too good.” Fan admitted in a tweet that he finally felt the significance of artificial intelligence.

“Today I finally felt an existential threat AI The technologist posted, “When AI gets too good and disrupts everything, what else will humans do? When, not if.”
Mrinank Sharma, Anthropic’s head of AI security, recently announced his departure from the company in a tweet.
“I constantly find myself thinking about our situation. The world is in danger. Not just from artificial intelligence or bioweapons, but from a series of interconnected crises unfolding at this moment. We seem to be approaching a threshold where our intelligence must grow in equal measure with our ability to impact the world, or we will face the consequences,” Sharma said in his post.
How did social media react to Fan Xiaofan’s post?
The post sparked a range of reactions on social media. While some agreed with Pham, others were curious about his experiences with artificial intelligence while working at xAI and OpenAI. However, some dismissed his concerns and shared their own thoughts on AI advancements.
One asked, “What do you see, bro?” Another said, “AI doesn’t eliminate purpose, it compresses impact. The question is not, ‘What will humans do?'” The question is, ‘What will humans choose to build when constraints disappear? ‘”
“We still have to cure cancer, eradicate poverty, ensure adequate energy, and explore the stars before we can worry,” a third commented. A fourth wrote, “Parenting, family meals, sustainable farming, camping, sports, stand-up comedy, live music, live performances. The main job of humans is to survive and thrive. The remaining tasks will be automated. We need good leadership to make this happen. Existing governments are obsolete. This will be an opt-in society. Free City. Network Nation.”
Who is Fan Xiao?
According to his LinkedIn profile, he earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Stanford University. He also holds a PhD in machine learning from Carnegie Mellon University.
He started his career as a research intern at Baidu US and then found a job at Google Artificial Intelligence. In 2024, he joined Elon Musk’s xAI and worked there for about a year. He joined his current company, OpenAI, in 2025 and has been working there for 7 months.

The Sarasota victims have been identified as Olga Greinert, 49; Florita Stolyar, 66; Anatoly Yov, 61; and Yaroslav Blyudoy, 39, the Herald-Tribune reported. All next of kin have been notified.
Who is Russell Cote?
Officials said Cote died of a self-inflicted wound after being suspected of foul play, according to a preliminary investigation. Investigators said he had no known history of mental health crises and no past experience history of violence.
A motive for the shooting has not yet been determined. However, investigators said the suspect had a previous relationship with one of the victims in Fort Lauderdale. The victim has ties to the Sarasota County victim.
According to investigators, around 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 10, a neighbor called 911 to report that a man had been shot at a home in the Amberley community near Proctor and McIntosh roads.
According to Fox 13, the unidentified neighbor said during the 911 call: “I don’t know. I heard a loud bang earlier and I thought someone dropped something, and then I walked outside and saw my neighbor Tony lying on the ground, his house was open, and his stomach was covered in blood.”
When officers arrived, they found a neighbor performing CPR on a man in the front yard. The victim was identified as Love, the homeowner.
Deputies moved Love to another location, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Sarasota County Fire Department crews then took over.
Neighbors told deputies that Love’s wife may be inside the home. When they entered, they found the bodies of two men and two women.
Detectives said the Fort Lauderdale Police Department told them they believed there was a double homicide that may be related to the Sarasota murders. Police noted that Cote was caught on camera driving north through Punta Gorda before the Sarasota killing.
Detectives, working with Amberlea HOA representatives and neighbors, obtained video of the suspect’s vehicle entering the community at 11:01 a.m. A short time later, a neighbor’s ring camera captured the sound of gunfire.
Less than 40 minutes later, the man, who was found on the front lawn, was seen driving into the community, SCSO said. Deputies claim Love walked to the door and was shot.
“There was blood everywhere. I didn’t see any weapons,” the neighbor said in the 911 call.
No one was seen entering or leaving the house after that.
Cote was one of four people found dead in their Sarasota home. His vehicle was found nearby, according to deputies.
“It makes you think hard. I just feel bad for the families. I feel really bad,” said Vanessa Epperson, who lives nearby.
New Delhi: Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, accusing the government of “complete abandonment” of India’s core data, food and energy interests in the trade deal. He claimed that Modi was succumbing to pressure due to India’s influence over him.While taking part in the Budget discussion, Gandhi first mentioned in his speech the concepts of “fisting” and “choking”, martial artists are taught to knock down opponents, and then used this metaphor to target Modi’s treatment of him by the United States. Gandhi denounced the interim agreement as a betrayal of national interests, which was the theme of his speech.“Farmers are at the mercy of American mechanized farms”Rahul said that the data of 1.4 billion Indians is the country’s most valuable asset, and the country needs to ensure its energy and food interests during this turbulent period.In trying to corner the government, the LoP had mentioned a convicted child sex offender in the US, two Indian businessmen and Bharat Mata, but this was resisted by the finance minister and expunged from the record.He claimed minister Hardeep Puri introduced the child sex offender to an Indian businessman named in documents released by the US government. The Chairman asked him not to make these allegations.Rahul Gandhi denounced the interim trade deal as a sellout of national interests, a theme of his speech, dealing a blow to the plank the Bharatiya Janata Party-led New Democratic Alliance government has effectively had since coming to power in 2014.He claimed, “India’s most valuable asset (data) has been handed over. Our farmers have been left at the mercy of American mechanized farms. Our textiles have been destroyed. Our energy security has been handed over.” We can’t buy oil from whom we want. This is mass surrender. “Unlike Modi and NSA Doval who claimed that this was not an era of war, Rahul said the world was actually “entering an era of war and instability” amid intensifying geopolitical conflicts. He said that the hegemony of the US dollar is being challenged and the world is moving away from an era of superpowers.He said that while the budget acknowledged the challenges, including the weaponization of energy and finance, it did not provide a path forward before turning to the deal to slam the government.He claimed that the agreement compromised the security of all three key elements needed to run a modern state: data, food supplies and energy.
Kyle Rittenhouse, who received national attention for the Kenosha shooting, is now calling for Pam Bundyremoval. Rittenhouse is widely known in MAGA circles, and his breakthrough came in the wake of a bitter showdown between the congressman and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Epstein Documentation Hearing.

Bundy faces questions about Donald Trump The Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein documents and attempts to sidestep them, at one point praising stock market performance. Rittenhouse’s comments, however, come as a more serious row brews as the Justice Department is accused of spying on members of Congress who had been questioning Bundy about the Epstein dossier.
Congresswoman Pramila Jaypal posted a scathing message on X after news of alleged surveillance by the Bondi Justice Department came to light. “It is completely inappropriate and a violation of the separation of powers for the Department of Justice to spy on us as we search for Epstein’s files. Bundy showed up today with a burnt book containing a printout of my search history for the emails I searched. This is outrageous, and I intend to pursue this and stop this surveillance of members,” she wrote.
The distaste for Bundy resonated elsewhere, joined by Jan. 6 activist Trisha Hope.
“As I write this, the Department of Justice is enforcing the Epstein Transparency Act. They were granted leniency due to the sheer volume of information, but it is clear after today’s hearing that Attorney General Pam Bondi knowingly withheld this information and she needs to face immediate legal consequences,” she wrote on X.
Hope published a series of posts criticizing Bundy’s handling of the incident. In another post, she wrote “Attorney General Pam Bondi, your actions are a disgrace to yourself, your office, and the American people. You need to quit the Department of Justice. You are not equipped to do so. Look these victims in the eyes and demand accountability!”
The Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein file has also become a hot topic in MAGA circles. Longtime Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene abandoned their partnership on the issue, and now Rittenhouse and Hope’s posts show the depth of the problem.
U.S. citizens will receive $1,000 as part of the second round of statewide stimulus packages. This applies to the following states Alaskaand the check falls under the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) scheme.
The state has three such checks, one in January, one this month and one in March. Images used for representational purposes. (no splash)
Here the checks were paid out of the nation’s abundant surplus. Minerals. Payment is made in three annual installments.
“Our mission is to administer the Permanent Fund Dividend Program to ensure that all eligible Alaskans receive dividends in a timely manner, fraud is prosecuted, and all internal and external stakeholders are treated with respect,” Department Director Genevieve Wojtusik said of the stimulus checks, according to The Sun.
It is worth noting that Alaska is known for its oil and gas reserve. Each year, loyal citizens receive a portion of the remaining funds from the treasury.
In order to qualify for a PFD, a person must have plans to remain in the state permanently. In this case, the applicant cannot claim residence in any other state or country during the past two years.
Additionally, applicants are ineligible if they are incarcerated at any time during this eligibility period.
If someone is eligible but still hasn’t received a check, don’t worry. This overhaul should be coming soon. According to reports, people whose PFD application status was “eligible but unpaid” on February 11 will be paid on the 19th.
The first round of payments will be issued on January 15, 2026 for individuals with the above status as of January 7 of the same year.
The final round of payments will be made on March 19 to those with the same status on March 11. Application status can be checked on the myPFD portal, and paper applications can be found at local distribution centers.
It is worth noting that due to Alaska’s reduced mining surplus this time, the payment amount decreased from last year’s $1,702. The PFD application window will open again this year and payments will be issued in 2027. However, it’s unclear how much Alaskans will receive in the next tranche.
