Spieth Eyes Comeback; AI Expert Warns of Peril

An AI safety researcher resigned from US firm Anthropic with a stark warning that the "world is in peril," according to a post shared on X. Mrinank Sharma, who cited concerns about AI, bioweapons, and the state of the world, announced his departure and stated he would pursue writing and poetry, moving back to the UK to "become invisible," as reported by BBC Technology.

The resignation comes amidst other developments in the tech world, including an OpenAI researcher's departure, who shared concerns about the company's decision to deploy advertisements in its chatbot. Anthropic, known for its Claude chatbot, had recently released commercials criticizing OpenAI's move.

In other news, police in British Columbia, Canada, identified 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar as the suspect in a shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School that resulted in eight deaths and dozens of injuries, as reported by BBC World. Van Rootselaar was found dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the motive for the attack remains unknown. Six people were killed at the school, while two others, the suspect's mother and step-brother, were found dead at a nearby home. Hundreds of mourners gathered to pay their respects.

Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, polls closed in the first election since student-led protests ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2024, according to BBC World. More than 2,000 candidates vied for 350 parliamentary seats, with results expected on Friday. The election pitted the center-right Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) against a coalition led by the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami.

In the realm of sports, three-time major winner Jordan Spieth is hoping to regain his early form, as reported by Fox News. Spieth, who won the Masters and U.S. Open in 2015, is competing at Pebble Beach this weekend, a course where he previously won the ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2017. He expressed hope that this weekend would be the start of his return to form.

Finally, a Fox News report indicated that immigration, once a key factor in Donald Trump's 2024 victory, is now facing scrutiny. Polling data suggests that immigration may impact the Republican party in this year's midterm elections, as the party defends its slim House and Senate majorities.
