Olympics Scandal Erupts; RFK Jr. Picks Stir Controversy

Iran and the United States agreed to continue negotiations regarding Tehran's nuclear program, following indirect talks held in Oman on Friday, according to Euronews. The discussions, mediated by Oman, took place despite ongoing tensions related to Iran's crackdown on recent protests.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff led their respective delegations in Muscat, but did not meet face-to-face, Euronews reported. The talks, described as taking place in a "very positive atmosphere," focused on exchanging arguments and views. This agreement to continue negotiations comes amid a backdrop of strained relations.

In other news, a team of sixteen AI agents, using Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 AI model, successfully created a new C compiler from scratch, Ars Technica reported. The project, which took two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions, cost approximately $20,000 in API fees. The AI agents reportedly produced a 10-line compiler.

Meanwhile, defense attorneys for Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, convicted in December of assaulting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross, are seeking access to investigative files related to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, according to Wired. Ross, the ICE agent, shot and killed Good on January 7 during Operation Metro Surge. Muñoz-Guatemala's attorneys requested a federal judge order prosecutors to turn over training records and investigative files related to Ross.

Also, US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appointed a new lineup for the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), a group that recommends autism research funding and services, Wired reported. The new panel includes individuals who believe that vaccines cause autism, raising concerns among autism advocates that the group could promote pseudoscientific treatments. The group is typically composed of experts in the area of autism research, along with policy experts and autistic people advocating for their own community.

Finally, as the 2026 Olympic Winter Games began, rumors surfaced that male ski jumpers may have injected their penises with fillers to gain a flight advantage, Ars Technica reported. The theory suggests that a larger bulge on a required 3D body scan could result in extra material in their jumpsuits, providing more surface area for gliding. A 2025 study indicated that every 2 cm of extra fabric could improve performance.
