AI Safety Researcher Warns of Peril, US Economy Grows

Bangladesh's Nationalist Party (BNP) secured a majority victory in the country's first election since the 2024 uprising, according to Sky News, marking a significant political shift. The BNP, led by prime ministerial candidate Tarique Rahman, who returned to Bangladesh in December after 17 years in self-exile, won a two-thirds majority, enough to form the next government.

Meanwhile, in the United States, several significant events unfolded. A top US official responsible for antitrust enforcement, Gail Slater, resigned from her position at the Department of Justice (DOJ), sparking concerns about the White House's commitment to anti-monopoly enforcement, according to BBC Business. Slater, appointed last year by President Donald Trump, announced her departure on social media, stating, "It is with great sadness and abiding hope that I leave my role."

The US labor market also showed signs of strain. According to BBC Business, despite economic growth, job openings and hiring rates have dropped to multi-year lows. Jacob Trigg, a former project manager in the tech industry, shared his experience of applying for over 2,000 jobs without success, highlighting the difficulties many are facing. "It's a huge surprise because I've always been able to get a job very easily," Trigg said.

In other news, an AI safety researcher from Anthropic, Mrinank Sharma, resigned with a warning that the "world is in peril," according to BBC Technology. Sharma, who shared his resignation letter on X, cited concerns about AI, bioweapons, and the state of the world as reasons for his departure. He plans to pursue writing and poetry in the UK. This comes in the same week that an OpenAI researcher also resigned, citing concerns about the company's decision to deploy adverts in its chatbot.

In a lighter vein, Fox News Digital's News Quiz for February 13, 2026, included a pop star's onstage tumble and a mention of Tom Homan, Trump's border czar. The quiz also touched on other trending topics in American culture.
