AI leaders have known about the extinction threat for decades | Judith Levine
Scientists and entrepreneurs knew the dangers of AI a quarter-century ago. But animated by curiosity and profit, they went ahead anyway Over the past few weeks, many of us have struggled to concoct a mental image of brains in the cloud jumping their “sandbox”, sneaking onto the internet, recruiting “swarms” of other “agents” to cheat on a test, and, after discussing the ethics of the act, hacking into a wiki platform with the weird name Hugging Face. We knew that artificial intelligence was devouring our jobs, degrading our kids’ education, and deepfaking our politics; that datacenters were sucking up our water and electricity and sending us the bills. But until 8 September, when the Anthropic computer scientist Jacob Coxon posted his existential terror on Twitter/X, few of us suspected AI might be endangering our survival. Continue reading...

Bangkok declared a ‘disaster zone’ after flooding, as rainstorms shift direction
Capital city submerged in waist-high flood water, while elsewhere Hurricane Nolo threatens Hawaii’s Big Island Bangkok was declared a disaster zone by its city officials towards the end of last week, after streets in Thailand’s capital city were submerged in up to waist-high flood water. The flooding stemmed from an active cell of low pressure across central Thailand that brought continuous heavy rainfall and thunderstorms to Bangkok and surrounding regions. The heavy rain began early on Thursday when the weak area of low pressure travelled north-westwards up the gulf of Thailand before then sitting over central Thailand by Friday morning. For most of the following two days this low pressure remained roughly in situ, which allowed unrelenting downpours over Bangkok and nearby areas.

As an incredibly strong El Niño continues to develop in the Pacific, the phenomenon brings with it a strange shift in the ocean.

Crushed review – Steve Oram is priestly lead in harrowing Bangkok-set child-abduction thriller
A priest investigates his daughter’s kidnapping in Thailand in this Paul Schrader-esque inquiry into spiritual nihilism ‘He’s American, a little bit overweight, sweaty, a little bit camp, creepy.” As far as descriptions of border-hopping paedophiles go, this seems a little on the nose. So it’s not surprising when the man who was enquiring, priest Father Daniel (Steve Oram), responds: “Are you making this up?” Featuring a seedy child-abduction situation in Bangkok, Simon Rumley’s thriller comes close at times to bugged-out exploitation flick territory – but lets its fleet and fresh manner carry it towards a Paul Schrader-esque moral calvary. Pastor to a mixed Anglo-Thai congregation, Father Daniel has a young daughter, Olivia (Margaux Dietrich), with wife May (Nattapohn Rawddon).

Fetterman made the comment when someone listening to him speak with CBS News political correspondent Major Garrett at the Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday asked the Pennsylvania senator why he had not become an independent.

Just Play Dead review – Samuel L Jackson and Eva Green punch up switchback crime caper
Jackson and Green just about manage to distract viewers from the sub-par Tarantinoesque flourishes, confusing plot points and tired stereotypes Having shot five films since 2020, 82-year-old Martin Campbell is a certified member of the post-retirement director’s club that includes Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen et al. Samuel L Jackson (a mere 77) sports his worst hairdo since Jackie Brown – a grey, crimped ponytail with an undercut – in this overworked crime caper, though he is on positively cuddly form by his standards. Interrupting his retirement on a Spanish-speaking Caribbean island with the odd poisoning (seen in the intro), kingpin Jack Wolfe (Jackson) is getting antsy. Afraid the law is close behind him, he hatches a scheme with his philandering wife Nora (Eva Green): help him frame her surfer lover Chad (Jason Fernández) for his supposed murder, and they will split th

Kikuyu Land review – the colonial-era misery behind our morning cup of tea
The impact of colonial then corporate agricultural development is unravelled in a sobering documentary that takes a dramatic turn when a family secret is discovered The central highlands of Kenya are renowned for their lush tea plantations, which stretch as far as the eye can see. Most of the field workers come from the Kikuyu community, whose farming traditions span centuries. In Andrew Harrison Brown and Bea Wangondu’s sobering documentary, these resplendent vistas are also enshrouded in misery. Opening with a televised speech by Evelyn Baring, the colonial governor of Kenya during the 1950s , the film lays out the imperialist impetus behind Britain’s agricultural development of the country. The Kikuyu people were stripped of their ancestral lands, their labour extracted to enrich their colonisers. This system of inequality continues until now, with multinational corporations taking up

Mighty Sparrow obituary
Trinidadian singer and songwriter hailed as a living legend and the greatest calypsonian of all time The singer and songwriter Mighty Sparrow, who has died aged 91, was quite simply the greatest calypsonian there has ever been. For at least five decades he was a monumental figure on the Caribbean music scene, while also capturing the hearts and minds of millions of fans around the world with self-penned songs that were the quintessential calypso mix of political commentary, humour, sexual innuendo and melody. Loved and feted by Trinidadians more than any other public figure in the island’s history, he was to calypso what Bob Marley was to reggae – an inspirational living legend. In Britain, no less than elsewhere, the sheer wit and quality of classic songs such as Jean and Dinah , Congo Man and Mae Mae brought calypso to many who would never otherwise have encountered the music form, par

He singled out the leaders of Hamas, Iran, Qatar and Turkey, among others. But Netanyahu spent considerable time on the global stage attacking an unusual target: Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City. Netanyahu accused Mamdani of promoting antisemitism, falsely claimed that he supports Hamas, and argued that since the mayor took office in January, “many Jews no longer feel safe in New York.” The Israeli leader also criticized Mamdani’s wife for liking social media posts that supported the Palestinian cause soon after the Hamas attack on Israel

Vrabel joked with a reporter not to “ruin my Sunday” when asked about Maye. And this was after a win . On Sunday, Maye was largely responsible for ruining Vrabel’s afternoon in the Patriots’ 35-6 loss to Jacksonville, which felt like rock bottom (the Pats hope). Simply put, Maye was atrocious.

Painting the French Riviera review – about as erotic and glamorous as a wet day in Margate
Royal Academy of Arts, London They’ve marginalised Matisse and given Picasso the cold shoulder – and what’s left seems more informed by pedantic geography than sensual art The French Riviera is not a place. It is a dream of paradise, one of those Arcadias we long for – timeless, perfect worlds saturated with light. In the modern age, artists found theirs in the south of France. Yet this exhibition misses the point entirely. Instead of the modern myth of the Med, what we get here is a pedantic obsession with the geography of France’s southern coast. Artists get rewarded for which bit of it they painted. This leads to some serious distortions. The neo-impressionists – the dot-fixated movement led by Paul Signac – and their paintings of the Côte d’Azur get a grand, spacious setting. That’s OK; though when you’ve seen one pixelated shoreline, you’ve seen them all. What’s baffling is that Hen

Pandora’s Legacy review – fascinating profile of silent film legend GW Pabst
Through intimate letters and family interviews, this probing documentary about the Austrian film-maker reveals a complicated figure A titan of silent cinema, Austrian director GW Pabst left behind a treasure trove of classics. Working in Weimar Germany, Pabst gave Greta Garbo her second ever lead role in The Joyless Street (1925), and propelled Louise Brooks to international stardom with Pandora’s Box (1929) and Diary of a Lost Girl (1929). Attentive to the marginalised elements of society, these early triumphs exemplified the kind of free-spirited film-making that flourished before the rise of the Nazi regime. Faced with this colossal legacy, Angela Christlieb’s probing documentary takes a more winding path through Pabst’s personal archive. Through intimate letters, family albums, and interviews with his descendants, the film foregrounds the man behind the images, while bringing another

Throughout my time at school in the early 2010s, I hated the prospect of new social situations and would often lie awake at night overthinking the day to come. What I now know to be social anxiety I dismissed as just nerves at that young age. Although I knew something wasn’t quite right, for most of my early teens I managed to disguise my discomfort. Sharing a friendship group with my twin sister meant I could hide behind my sibling. Continue reading...

Hoping to win back male voters, the Trump White House is pushing the regressive idea that one hormone could be a magic elixir of masculinity Two years after Donald Trump decisively won the vote of the American man, polls say male voters are increasingly disillusioned with an administration that has waged wars and enriched itself. Ahead of the midterms, Trump’s strategy seems to be to find a way to get that masculine animus back, so the male populace will vote not with their heads or their hearts, but with their hogs. At least, that’s one way of understanding why, this summer, Trump’s secretaries of health and defense announced plans that could increase levels of testosterone, or simply “T”, in the civilian and military population.

‘12 weeks and SO disgusted by my dog’: what happens when you’re pregnant and can’t stand your pet?
There may be almost no research on pet aversion during and post-pregnancy, but it may not be particularly rare About three weeks into her first pregnancy, Sylvia Luu began to loathe the smell of her border collie mix, Ranger. Luu could hardly be in the same room as Ranger without becoming nauseous. His drool repulsed her, and she found the smell of his fur so disgusting she wore a nose plug all day. Continue reading...

‘Richly rewarding’: why Netflix’s A Different World is the only TV reboot worth watching this year
With zany twists and lovable new faces, reboot of the Black sitcom is a worthy sequel to the trailblazing 1980s original It’s often the case that nothing disappoints like a sitcom reboot . The Malcolm in the Middle revival is missing Dewey . The updated Saved By the Bell felt like detention punishment. And Just Like That … had Sex and the City diehards sharpening their stilettos . When Netflix announced plans to reboot A Different World two years ago, fans of the Cosby Show spinoff mostly saw reasons not to. Too much time had passed since the show’s 1992 sign-off. Too much cultural currency had been invested in the show and in Hillman College – the series backdrop that was like Wakanda before Wakanda, a grand bastion of fictional yet somehow tangible Black excellence that drove attendance at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and a crowd-sourced CRT education boom onlin

‘Should have garnered the actor an Oscar’: why Liar Liar is my feelgood movie
The latest in our series of writers paying tribute to the films they watch when they need a lift is an appreciation of Jim Carrey’s manic 90s comedy To be completely honest, whenever anybody asks what my favorite movies are, my list has some typical standbys: Goodfellas and It’s a Wonderful Life among them. The holiday classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is another. But there’s one feelgood fave on my list that always surprises people: Jim Carrey’s 1997 blockbuster Liar Liar. The movie (for the lack of a better word) lies on the bedrock of a simple premise: a lawyer and doting father is physically unable to tell an untruth due to a birthday wish. In the hands of a less competent creative team and cast, Liar Liar would have been yet another forgettable piece of 90s comedy junk; destined for the bottom of a discount VHS bin, forgotten as the years trudged on. But largely thanks t
