SUNRISE, Fla.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:02:50 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Britain will host key players for a summit on artificial intelligence in the fall as Rishi Sunak seeks to position the U.K. as a power broker on the subject.Confirming plans for a conference first reported by POLITICO this week, British officials argued the U.K. would be “well-placed” to convene discussions on the future of AI.They cited Britain’s departure from the EU as allowing the U.K. to act quickly in response to a rapidly changing market. Ministers want to carve a path between strict EU regulations and the lighter touch U.S. approach.Sunak, who is expected to discuss the topic when he meets President Joe Biden Thursday, hailed AI as having “an incredible potential to transform our lives” but stressed “the need to make sure it is developed and used in a way that is safe and secure.”Downing Street did not say which countries or companies would attend the talks but the prime minister’s spokesman said Sunak was seeking to bring together “like-minded” natio...

WASHINGTON, D.C. —Rishi Sunak has confirmed he will not meet presidential hopeful Donald Trump during his visit to the U.S. this week.Asked ahead of his arrival if he would be seeing Trump, the British PM indicated he would not, adding: “I’ve got a pretty busy schedule.” “I’m meeting key Congressional leaders from both sides and obviously the president,” he went on. “Those are the key engagements that I have.”While predecessor Boris Johnson enjoyed a close relationship with Trump, Sunak appears more focused on engagement with the Biden administration, as the U.K. and U.S. face a host of looming challenges.Asked about the prospect of a Trump return to the White House in 18 months, Sunak said the leaders he would be speaking to shared “universal values of freedom and democracy and the rule of law.”The British PM held talks Wednesday with figures including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.H...

Sharing the water with sharks is safe, California study finds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:02:50 GMT

A new study found it’s safe to swim with the fishes — even the sharks!Researchers from the Shark Lab – based out of California State University – said sharks are getting up close and comfortable with people but aren’t getting violent with swimmers.“Sharks are near us more often than we think, we just don’t see them,” Shark Lab Director Dr. Chris Lowe said.Over two years, researchers flew about 1,500 drones over dozens of beaches along the coast of California observing juvenile white sharks. The sharks were swimming near people 97% of the days studied, but no shark bites were reported.“As long as people aren’t chasing them, sharks aren’t considering people food so they just ignore us,” Lowe said.The same could be said about the beaches here in the Bay State.“Places like Cape Cod, I’m sure there’s sharks swimming right by them and they didn’t even know it,” Lowe said.Researchers still say to be careful how you act around Great Whites.“Right no...

Poor performances from Mets’ role players contributing to rough stretch

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:02:50 GMT

ATLANTA — The Mets are in a tough spot with struggling role players they might have relied on a little too heavily.Daniel Vogelbach isn’t giving the Mets much of anything at the designated hitter spot right now. Drew Smith hasn’t shown that he has what it takes to be a high-leverage reliever on a consistent basis. The good news is that the club may have an internal option for a high-leverage, seventh-inning arm. The DH spot might not be as easy to figure out.The Mets have continued to roll with Vogelbach, the left-handed hitting slugger acquired before the All-Star break last season, as the primary DH against right-handed hitters. Mark Vientos and Tommy Pham have platooned with Vogelbach, but the results haven’t been great for anyone: The Mets have received only four home runs at the DH spot this season, the second-fewest amount in baseball, and the team’s .309 slugging percentage is the fourth-worst.Coming into Wednesday, Vogelbach was slashing .209/.3...
