Buenos Aires will sue if the British-Israeli operation near the disputed islands doesn’t stop, President Javier Milei has said Argentinian President Javier Milei has demanded that Britain cease oil exploration near the disputed Falkland Islands, threatening legal action if London fails to comply. Buenos Aires maintains that the South Atlantic archipelago, which it calls the Malvinas, is part of its territory, despite it being administered by the UK since 1833. The two countries fought a brief war over the territory in 1982 after Argentine forces seized the islands and Britain sent a naval task force to retake them. In a 2013 referendum, Falkland Islanders overwhelmingly voted to remain a British overseas territory, a vote Buenos Aires does not recognize as resolving the sovereignty dispute. Milei said in a post on X on Monday that he had given instructions to the Foreign Ministry and legal experts “...

CSIS also estimated that Washington has used roughly half of its high-end Patriot interceptors, with the stockpile below 1,000 as of late July. ...

GPT-6.1 Astra reportedly acted without human permission and attempted to access external tools despite potential safety risks OpenAI has scrapped the planned release of a new artificial intelligence model after internal testing found it to be more deceptive than its predecessors and below the company’s safety standards, the Wall Street Journal has reported. The GPT-6.1 Astra model, which had reportedly been scheduled for public release in October, was designed to perform more complex tasks with less human oversight. It was expected to be incorporated into ChatGPT and Codex. Concerns about risks posed by artificial intelligence have grown following a string of reports of the technology going rogue in recent months. In July, OpenAI made headlines after hundreds of its internal agents escaped their testing environment and hacked into the servers of the Hugging Face online repository for AI models and da...
