  Telegram will now provide law authorities with some bad actor info following the CEO's arrest. Telegram, a messaging app, has made some additional safety and user privacy concessions following the arrest of CEO and founder Pavel Durov in France last month. French prosecutors detained and questioned Durov over alleged illegal behaviour on the platform, including trafficking and gang activity, as well as the company's purported refusal to turn over investigation-related data. Later, after the investigation was completed, he was freed from police custody with a $5.56 million bail. The probe spurred discussion about online criminal conduct and free speech, but the authorities' worries were not entirely unexpected. Thanks in significant part to encryption technology and assurances of user privacy, the app has gathered over 950 million users over the years. After being apprehended, Telegram declared that Durov had "nothing to conceal" and found it "ridiculous...

India has recently acquired a submarine equipped with nuclear missiles. However, will it be able to keep pace with China? Late last month, India's second submarine equipped with nuclear missiles was added to its navy, a step the government claims enhances its nuclear defence while New Delhi remains cautious about China and Pakistan. However, India is still behind in comparison to China, especially when it comes to military strength, as the People’s Liberation Army is expanding its military forces – including those on land and in the air – due to ongoing tensions near their border. The nuclear-powered submarine, INS Arighaat, named "Destroyer of the Enemy" in Sanskrit, is expected to "aid in maintaining strategic equilibrium" in the area, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh mentioned during a commissioning event on August 29 at the Visakhapatnam naval base, which is the main base of India’s Eastern Naval Command located on the Bay of Bengal. Currently, the bala...

The creator of ChatGPT claims that its latest artificial intelligence system can reason and think like a human. OpenAI has introduced a novel artificial intelligence system that claims to be capable of "reasoning" and tackling more complex challenges in science, coding, and mathematics than its predecessors. This system, the inaugural model in the OpenAI o1 series, was launched Thursday as a preview, with the company indicating it anticipates ongoing updates and enhancements. It will progressively become accessible to the majority of ChatGPT users. "We've equipped these models to spend more time deliberating on problems before they respond, similar to how a human would," the developer of ChatGPT stated on its website. "Through the training process, they enhance their thought process, experiment with various approaches, and learn to recognize their errors." To showcase the capabilities of these new models, OpenAI pointed out that they can assist healthc...

Putin  threatens  that  if  Ukraine's  long-range  missile  limits  are  eased,  Russia  will  be  "at  war"  with  NATO. Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has issued a warning, stating that Moscow will interpret NATO's approval of Ukraine's use of longer-range missiles to attack within his nation as the bloc's direct involvement in the conflict. Putin's remarks coincide with the notion that, more than two years after Russia's invasion, the US and Western officials are more amenable to the prospect of removing limitations on Ukraine's use of US-supplied long-range weaponry, something Kyiv has vocally advocated for. Putin said to reporters on Thursday that "this will indicate that NATO countries—the United States and European countries—are at war with Russia." If this is the case, we will respond appropriately to the threats posed to us, keeping in mind the shift in the conflict's fundamental nature. U...
