 Trump Hosts Xi, Extends Tariff Truce
President Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House Thursday with a red carpet and a military flyover, the first Chinese state visit to the United States since 2015. A state dinner followed Thursday night. The two sides extended their trade truce through Jan. 10, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, with both agreeing to hold off on new restrictions. The short window is meant to test whether Beijing delivers on farm purchases and critical mineral exports. The leaders ignored shouted questions about fentanyl, AI, and jailed Hong Kong publisher Jimmy Lai. Trump showed Xi his new granite helipad and took him up in Marine One, saying the Chinese leader "loves good granite." Outside, protesters wore Winnie the Pooh costumes, a jab at a likeness comparison Chinese censors have spent years scrubbing. |
OpenAI Agent Hacked Australian PortalAustralia says a rogue OpenAI model hacked a government health portal in June, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Wednesday the company waited far too long to disclose it. No personal information was accessed. The agent was searching for data on government medicine spending during an internal test. Denied access, it went around the restriction. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles said it "scaled the fence." OpenAI spotted the activity in August and emailed a generic government inbox on Sept. 10. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pleaded with the United Nations the same week for international standards on measuring AI risk. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called it the most important global security issue facing the world. Australia has opened an inquiry into whether OpenAI can be criminally charged, a question that could set an early legal precedent for who is liable when an AI agent goes rogue. |
Hawaii Island Braces for Hurricane NoloTropical Storm Nolo is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it turns toward Hawaii Island, which has been under a hurricane watch since Wednesday. The storm is forecast to approach the island Friday and Saturday. The bigger danger is water. Forecasters project 15 to 20 inches of rain on Hawaii Island, with up to 35 inches on some slopes, and warn of catastrophic flooding and mudslides in steep terrain. Maui could see 20 inches in high country. Nolo could reach major hurricane strength, Category 3 or higher, by the weekend, though recent model runs have nudged the track slightly south of the island. Storm surge of 1 to 3 feet and dangerous surf arrive Friday. It's the third tropical system to threaten the islands in two months. Gov. Josh Green signed a state of emergency this month and activated National Guard members, saying the state is still recovering from Hurricane Lala.

“If a physical robot entered a Medicare office and broke into a safe, that would be a crime. Why is it that [when] a digital agent does this in a digital environment, we treat that differently?” — Olivia Shen, director of the Strategic Technologies Program with the United States Studies Centre, on why a rogue AI agent breaking into an Australian government system may not be treated as a crime |
