AI Agents Blow Things Up, While Bose Headphones Discounted

Ring's AI-powered "Search Party" technology, initially designed to find lost dogs, is set to expand its capabilities, according to an internal email from Ring founder Jamie Siminoff. Simultaneously, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) faces a lawsuit over its decision to revoke a finding that served as the basis for federal climate change regulations for 17 years, potentially leading to thousands of avoidable deaths. In other tech news, both Bose noise-canceling headphones and SteelSeries Arctis earbuds are currently on sale. Finally, a defense company, Scout AI, has developed AI agents designed to seek and destroy targets using explosive drones.

The internal email from Ring founder Jamie Siminoff revealed that the "Search Party for Dogs" feature was only the first step in a broader initiative. The company's plans for the AI-powered technology were not explicitly detailed in the email, but the implication was that the system would be used for more than just locating lost pets.

Meanwhile, the EPA is facing legal challenges. A lawsuit filed Wednesday accused the agency of abandoning its mission to protect public health by repealing an endangerment finding related to greenhouse gases. The lawsuit was brought by over a dozen environmental and health groups, including the American Public Health Association, the American Lung Association, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). These groups have asked the US Court of Appeals for action. The groups claim the EPA's decision risks "thousands of avoidable deaths."

In the consumer electronics market, discounts are available on audio products. Bose's QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 noise-canceling headphones are currently on sale, representing the lowest price seen outside of major shopping holidays. Similarly, SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds, designed for gaming on the go, are marked down at Best Buy, offering a $40 discount. These earbuds are particularly well-suited for consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2 and ROG Xbox Ally, according to the source.

Finally, in the defense sector, Scout AI is developing AI agents capable of autonomous destruction. The company's technology was demonstrated at an undisclosed military base in central California, where AI agents controlled a self-driving vehicle and explosive drones to locate and destroy a truck. "We need to bring next-generation AI to the military," said Colby Adcock, Scout AI's CEO, in a recent interview.
