Šį gyvūną laisvėje pamatyti retai kam pavyksta. Ir ne vien dėl to, kad jis retas ir įrašytas į raudonąją knygą. Sengirių gyventoja miegapelė dienomis miega, o maitintis išlenda tik naktimis. Lietuvoje liko vos keliolika vietų, kur gyvena šie gyvūnėliai. Vienoje iš jų kartu su biologais apsilankė ir 15min žurnalistas.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Republican state Attorney General James Uthmeier intensified his fight with OpenAI and its founder Sam Altman on Monday by asking a Florida court to stop the tech giant from further developing its artificial intelligence technology while their legal battle plays out. In his latest push to put guardrails around AI, Uthmeier is attempting to leverage the recent panic about the technology’s unchecked growth in Washington and beyond as proof that ChatGPT and other AI models are dangerous products. Uthmeier is seeking an injunction against OpenAI that would prevent the company from advancing new AI models without third-party approved protections, and cut off minors from using its popular chatbot. “If Sam Altman meant what he said about slowing down, he can join our ask to the court,” Uthmeier said Monday in a video posted to social media. “If he will not, we ask the court to do what OpenAI will not do for itself — protect Florida families.” Officials with OpenAI did not immediately respond with a request for comment about the development in Florida’s lawsuit. Florida, led by Uthmeier, sued OpenAI and Altman in June through a first-of-its-kind lawsuit claiming the company aggressively marketed an unsafe product and allowed ChatGPT to run rampant in aiding violent crimes. The challenge centers on two recent high-profile cases Uthmeier accuses of of assisting, including the 2025 campus shooting at Florida State University, as he argues the tech product is putting Floridians at risk. OpenAI officials, for their part, have stood by their safety protocols as they fight the lawsuit. Uthmeier took the lawsuit further Monday by pressing for an injunction that would at least install temporary safeguards around AI development. Among the asks, Florida, as Uthmeier explained, wants: “No new model development without independent safety guardrails; no more harvesting children’s data; no more calling this product safe, accurate, or reliable; no more pretending it’s human; no more tricks designed to keep users talking past the point of danger.” In making his argument, Uthmeier drew on public statements from current and former AI officials, Altman included, raising alarm bells about the technology, expressing a sudden openness to slowing down its growth and welcoming potential regulations. Additionally, Uthmeier cited newly disclosed breaches of U.S. and Australian government websites, along with reports of OpenAI agents going rogue and carrying out an autonomous cyberattack on developer platform Hugging Face, as proof of why an injunction is necessary. “The Court must stop [OpenAI and Altman] from recklessly advancing these systems while this case progresses,” Uthmeier wrote in the motion. “It is a rare request for an injunction where the Defendants themselves have publicly endorsed it.” The newest legal volley from Uthmeier, a leading Republican AI skeptic along with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, comes at a critical time for the technology. Calls from policymakers in the U.S. and abroad to regulate AI are growing louder amid dire warnings from researchers and developers, yet there is largely inaction from Congress as the Trump administration pushes for a national regulatory framework. As a result, states are propping up their own AI defenses by targeting how it’s used in education and elsewhere. Uthmeier, who is running for election in November, has asked Florida’s Legislature for the authority to criminally charge tech companies when their chatbots assist in crimes.

LIVERPOOL, England — Welsh Secretary Stephen Kinnock said Monday that Labour would struggle to work with Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru after the next general election if no party wins a decisive victory. Speaking at the POLITICO Pub at Labour Party conference, Kinnock said he “cannot see any circumstances where you could cooperate in any meaningful way, really, with a party that wants to break up the United Kingdom.” Kinnock, who joined the Cabinet in July, said he does believe people in the center-left nationalist force “want what I want, which is the best for Wales.” However, he said that the party has “reverted to type” since it won control of the Welsh parliament, known as the Senedd, from Labour in May after 27 years in power. Labour has controlled the Welsh government since the introduction of devolution in the late 1990s. Kinnock said he believes Plaid Cymru’s “mask has slipped,” after its Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth met Scottish First Minister John Swinney and Sinn Féin Vice President Michelle O’Neill earlier this month to discuss greater cooperation on achieving independence. Opinion polling since Andy Burnham became prime minister in July suggests currently no one party would win an overall majority after the next election. However, Kinnock suggested the price Plaid Cymru could demand for support in the House of Commons could make arrangements untenable: “If the condition for that coalition to work is that you would then agree to nationalism and separatism and the breakup of the United Kingdom, the answer is no, because that is fundamentally about our values as a party that believes in our precious union.”

In an address to European leaders in Metz, France, Pope Leo told negotiators seeking to end war in Europe that they must be willing to sacrifice some positions to achieve peace, as efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine continue to fail. He urged leaders to recall the founding values of the EU, including the rule of law and the equality of all people. Leo had begun his four-day visit on Friday with a warning that the United Nations and other multilateral bodies were in crisis and international dialogue risked becoming a 'charade' Continue reading...

Police said suspects ‘remain under investigation as we explore multiple lines of enquiry’

Erin Ogunkeye is pleased to welcome Colleen Dulle, Vatican correspondent for America magazine and author of "Struck Down, Not Destroyed". She came to Pope Leo’s visit to France expecting measured diplomacy but was struck by how deeply political the trip became. She observed a pope trying to articulate a vision of Europe shaped simultaneously by its Christian inheritance, its history of conflict, its encounter with other cultures, and its responsibility to pursue peace. His choice of Metz itself was significant. For Leo, this is a place where historic enemies transformed their relationship through reconciliation and cooperation, making Europe itself part of his message.
