Why Left-Handed Users Are Upset Over Apple's New Foldable iPhone Duo

Why Left-Handed Users Are Upset Over Apple's New Foldable iPhone Duo

The iPhone Duo may have two screens, but it may be designed with only one hand in mind.Apple unveiled its first-ever foldable iPhone Wednesday, marking the biggest physical overhaul of its signature smartphone since the original iPhone first hit the market.But the flashy $1,999 device has left left-handed users quick to point out a design flaw in the soon-to-be-released smartphone they fear could make it awkward or even “unusable.”Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo was unveiled during Apple’s special event on September 9. STAN OLSZEWSKI/EPA/ShutterstockThe tech giant touts the device’s largest-ever inner screen: a 7.6-inch display alongside a 5.4-inch outer screen, and its dynamic weight of just over half a pound. The titanium phone folds down to just over 3 inches, making it a better fit in your pocket.Apple described the closed Duo as “compact and comfortable to hold,” with “essential controls moved to the side” so they’re “easy to reach.”But lefties are asking: Easy to reach for whom?Unlike a traditional iPhone, where navigation bars and controls generally stretch horizontally across the top or bottom of the screen, the Duo’s controls sit along one side of the device, including Touch ID — which replaces Face ID on the Duo — built into the side button.A person holds the new foldable iPhone Duo during Apple’s event. REUTERSThat’s exactly why left-handed iPhone users who hold the phone with their dominant hand are concerned.“Any other southpaws out there that use their phone one-handed with their left?” one user on Reddit asked. “I’d love to have this phone, but I have a feeling they aren’t going to implement a left-handed mode.Another lefty said Apple’s side-placed controls could turn something annoying into an actual usage issue and argued that a software setting alone may not give lefties the same experience.“It’s more than just software, the Touch ID button, the outer display, the cameras… they would have to manufacture a mirrored version for lefties to have the same experience as right-handed people,” one YouTube commenter argued.And they were not alone in feeling discriminated against.“Finally someone mentioned. Thank you. I already hate the idea,” the user wrote. “I use my left hand, and I don’t want to hold it upside down even if they fix software.”One commenter questioned the design as a possible accessibility oversight.“My first thought was how are they going to make it accessible for us?” the left-handed user wrote. “And what if someone has had a stroke or otherwise can’t use their right hand?”Apple does, in fact, tout the Duo’s built-in accessibility tools for users with vision, mobility, hearing, speech, and cognitive needs, including AssistiveTouch, Switch Control, Voice Control, and Eye Tracking.Early hands-on impressions are marginally positive, though.New York Times consumer technology writer Brian X. Chen described the Duo as extremely thin while opened and said that, folded shut, it felt almost “dainty” — about the size of a passport and less bulky in his pocket than other foldables he had tested.Left-handed people don’t seem to be fans of the new design. AFP via Getty ImagesThe foldable phone market is still niche, accounting for less than 2% of global mobile sales, according to IDC data cited by The Times. However, the research firm thinks Apple’s arrival in the space will pique consumer curiosity and help drive higher sales this year.Albeit a minority, the left-handed population isn’t completely negligible.Roughly one in 10 people is left-handed, though handedness exists on a spectrum. Other users noted that handedness doesn’t necessarily determine which hand someone uses to operate a smartphone — with some lefties saying they naturally use their right hand anyway.“Yah, im left handed and i have a fold 7. people will adapt. truly not an issue,” one YouTube commenter shrugged.But not everyone is ready to retrain muscle memory.For now, most consumers haven’t actually used the thing yet, so the debate remains theoretical.The iPhone Duo won’t arrive in stores until Oct. 23, with preorders starting Oct. 16, and Apple still hasn’t announced a dedicated left-handed mode.So southpaws will have to wait until next month to decide whether Apple’s first foldable is really for everybody.

NYC's $164 Million OnlyFans Obsession: What Are They Really Paying For?

Turns out New Yorkers aren’t only fans of the Knicks. Money is, apparently, no object to horny big spenders in and around the Big Apple, which ranks as New York State’s No. 1 city blowing the most cash on OnlyFans in 2026, per an eye-popping new study.Lusty locals across Gotham are on track to spend $164.3 million on the predominantly X-rated content offered on the popular platform this year, according to September findings via OnlyGuider, a discovery directory designed for finding OnlyFans stars. City slickers in and around Gotham are throwing millions at the guys and gals showing their moneymakers on the saucy site. romaset – stock.adobe.comResearchers analyzed the spending data in each of the 50 states during the past three years, from 2023 to 2025, and used predictive AI modeling via Google’s TimesFM 3.0 — a general-purpose zero-shot time-series foundation model — to forecast the copious amounts of loot folks will be doling out before December 31.  Since ‘23, the nation has spent a staggering  $13.848 billion on the NSWF site, with New York residents contributing a total of $850.8 million towards the lump payout.Now, the Empire State, poised to give OnlyFans $341.9 million this year, ranks in the top 3 states splurging the biggest bucks on the smut. Hedonists in New York have spent over $850 million on OnlyFans since 2023. kasto – stock.adobe.comCalifornia’s in first place with $675 million headed to the hot-to-trot hub, boasting a far lead ahead of Texas, which earns the second position with $497.5 million. OnlyFans, where busty bombshells and bootylicious babes abound, has financially transformed the lives of its everyday performers since its pandemic-era boom in the early 2020s. Americans have blown a whopping $13.848 billion on OnlyFans in the past three years alone, according to the data.

Lady Gaga's Surprising Take on Motherhood Captivates Fans

Lady Gaga's Surprising Take on Motherhood Captivates Fans

Lady Gaga predicted what she would be like as a mom nearly one year before reportedly welcoming her first baby. “Disappear? I don't think so. But look, I think music will be a part of our child's life,” Gaga, 40, said on a July 2025 episode of The Howard Stern Show when asked whether she planned to take a step back from the spotlight after becoming a parent. “I also have to see what it’s like and what our kid needs, you know?” Gaga has been engaged to Michael Polansky since 2024. News broke on Friday, September 11, that Gaga and Polansky, 42, quietly welcomed baby No. 1. (The couple has not publicly confirmed the news. Us reached out for comment at the time.) While speaking with host Howard Stern, Gaga speculated on how her priorities would likely shift if and when she became a first-time parent. “I just really want them to have a very safe and happy childhood, so you're not wrong that that will become my No. 1 priority,” she added during her radio appearance after Stern, 72, guessed the pop star would go “all-in” on family duties. “You’re actually right on the money with that.” Gaga was first romantically linked to Polansky in 2019 after the pair were introduced by her mother. (Gaga’s mom, Cynthia Germanotta, first met Polansky at a charity event.) “I had never met anyone like Michael. He’s so smart and so kind. And his life and my life are very different,” Gaga told Vogue in September 2024. “He’s a very private guy and he’s not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other. I think what I want my fans to know is that I’m just, like, so happy. I’m healthy.” She continued at the time, “I feel like the last time they heard from me — in this way — was Chromatica, and that album was about an absolutely horrible time for me with my mental health. I was in a really dark place. I struggled for, like, many years before that. But everything started to change.” According to Gaga, Polansky “wasn’t afraid to truly hold my hand” and get to know her on “a very deep level.” “I didn’t know much about her and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect,” he recalled to the outlet. “I was struck immediately by her warmth and openness — she was so genuinely curious about what my life was like growing up in Minnesota.”

Sophie Cunningham's Surprising Reaction to Being Called WNBA's 'Sex Symbol'

Sophie Cunningham's Surprising Reaction to Being Called WNBA's 'Sex Symbol'

Colin Cowherd took his interview with Sophie Cunningham in a whole new direction, one the WNBA star didn’t expect.Cunningham has been at the center of the debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports after she told ESPN that she favored keeping biological men out of women’s sports but did not hate trans people.  The Fever forward was on “The Colin Cowherd Podcast” on Friday to discuss the rebranding of her podcast from “Show Me Something” to “No Hesitation” on Cowherd’s network. Fever guard Sophie Cunningham enters prior to a game against the Sky at Wintrust Arena on Aug. 23, 2026, in Chicago. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectThe move included a switch in co-hosts from “Summer House” star and childhood friend Will West to prominent basketball trainer Drew Hanlen, as the new venture aims to be more basketball-heavy.West at one point openly disagreed with Cunningham’s stance on transgender athletes in women’s sport, and she called the speculation over that being the reason for the change “dumb.”With so much going on around the 30-year-old Cunningham, Cowherd awkwardly shifted the interview off the court in a way that happily caught her off guard. Sophie Cunningham’s reaction to Colin Cowherd calling her the WNBA’s sex symbol was pure comedy. 😂The confidence, the quick wit, and that effortless “I’ll take it” response—she knows exactly how to own the moment. Tough on the court, stylish off it, and never afraid to be…— RA (@Itsam4d) September 11, 2026“You are kind of viewed a little bit as the league’s … ummm,” Cowherd, 62, said, as he searched for the best way to phrase his question.“Just say it,” Cunningham replied. “I don’t care.”“Sex symbol,” he responded, before asking if that was a fair assessment. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham reacts to a call during the first half against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday, August 22, 2026. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect“That is way better,” said Cunningham. “I thought you were gonna go somewhere completely different.”Cowherd later praised Cunningham’s physical play and reluctance to back down from anyone – as she has often served as an on-court protector for Indiana star Caitlin Clark – along with her style.“You’re tough. You’ll fight anybody. You’ll taunt anybody,” Cowherd said. “But you’ll make sure, coming into the arena, ‘I look good, and I want you to know…'”Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever dribbles the ball during a game against the Connecticut Sun on Friday, August 28, 2026, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. NBAE via Getty ImagesWhile that could be said about many of the WNBA’s stars in a league that has certainly put a focus on its athletes’ style while arriving for games, Cunningham, who has sparked both support rallies and in-arena booing for her stance on trans athletes, has been front and center in that area of late.She posed for this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and served as an impromptu ring girl at UFC 329 for Conor McGregor’s ill-fated return.Cunningham has no problem taking the compliment.“For some reason, our society, if you play basketball, you can’t dress that way, or you can’t be girly,” Cunningham said. “No one’s ever said it, but it’s like, they kind of feel that you can’t be both. Screw all that. Yes, you can. You can be girly, and you can go out and kick someone’s ass.”

Daisy De La Hoya's Emotional Journey: How Corey Feldman Helped Her Overcome Addiction

Daisy De La Hoya's Emotional Journey: How Corey Feldman Helped Her Overcome Addiction

Rock of Love alum Daisy De La Hoya is crediting a dear friend for saving her life amid her addiction struggles and after previously revealing she is homeless and unable to work. “I have suffered from addiction and I was in a situation where my addiction got very bad,” she said while speaking to TMZ in an interview published on Saturday, September 12. “I was being evicted and some really good friends of mine helped me. I’m very close with Corey Feldman — he’s, like, my best friend. He’s been my best friend for over 18 years now and I love him to death and he saved my life.” She continued, “I was living in Las Vegas, where I’m currently doing a reality show out there right now with some good friends. And I was living there and he picked me up and, you know, helped me save my dog — took my dog in – and I ended up in Ocean Side [California] getting recovery and I’ve been clean now since February 29, 2024 … He just got my stuff — got my dog and put me back in California and I just spent all that time since 2024 just recovering.” De La Hoya went on to claim that she “lost everything” as a result of her relocating to California for substance abuse treatment. “I lost my relationship, I lost my apartment,” she continued. “I was homeless — like, legitimately homeless — and I spent all the time in shelters. I was assaulted. You know, I was unfortunately assaulted.” She added, “I’m not happy or proud of myself for what happened but I’m so grateful that I have recovered and I’m here today and my journey is still in recovery. I’m so grateful to not be on drugs.” The former reality TV star revealed last month that she is currently unhoused and unable to secure any work in order to financially support herself in the wake of her addiction struggles. “I’m poor and homeless, that’s the truth,” the VHI star told the Daily Mail in August. “I’m staying with a friend, but it’s a temporary thing, and I’m in school and looking for a freakin’ job.” She added of her financial struggles at the time, “It’s embarrassing, and it’s very hard, but I keep searching. I don’t know what it is about me, but I guess God does not want me to have a job. I’d work at McDonald’s, Starbucks, anything. Maybe I’m overqualified or maybe I’m underqualified. I don’t know.” Viewers were introduced to De La Hoya when she appeared on 2008’s season 2 of Rock of Love With Bret Michaels. After coming in second place, the reality star earned her own dating show called Daisy of Love. While speaking to the Daily Mail, De La Hoya claimed she does not receive any residuals from her reality dating series, contributing to her financial issues. “It’s still there on streaming platforms, but I don’t get any of that money,” she claimed. “The good news is that I’m still getting fans and people can watch it, but I don’t get any money from it.” In addition to finding sobriety, De La Hoya revealed she’s also on medication for anxiety and a diagnosed bipolar disorder. You have a different perspective after hitting rock bottom and losing everything. And I was lucky, but I’ve had to crawl my way back and I’m still crawling my way back up,” she said. “I don’t think of myself as being famous or being somebody. I just think of myself as a person who did a thing and wants to continue to be part of the entertainment industry. But sometimes I think I need to just give up on entertainment because at this point I just need a job.” If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Celine Dion's Unyielding Battle: What She Overcame to Return to Paris

Celine Dion's Unyielding Battle: What She Overcame to Return to Paris

Céline Dion has been tirelessly working to improve her health ahead of her highly anticipated Paris comeback concerts. “People may not realize how much work Celine put in to fight this condition and to regain her strength and mobility,” a source exclusively tells Us. “It has been constant, consistent work.” Dion, 58, announced in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms, one year earlier. The singer, who detailed her health battle in the 2024 documentary I Am: Céline Dion, subsequently canceled her 2023 Courage World Tour in order to focus on her health. Dion announced in March, on her 58th birthday, that she would return to the stage for a limited run of 10 shows in September and October. She quickly added six additional concerts due to enormous demand. The performances begin Saturday, September 12, at Paris’ La Défense Arena. Throughout her health scare, the insider tells Us that Dion “was always putting in the work” to connect with doctors and specialists who could help. “There were many years of figuring out what was going on, that alone can be very daunting, and then to find the right people to help you,” the insider adds, acknowledging that Dion has faced “highs and lows” like fans saw in her documentary. “There were very low, emotional times [of her] thinking, 'What is happening? Why is this happening? Will I get to the other side of this?'” Without giving up, the source reveals that Dion has started seeing “such great results with her rehabilitation.” “She is physically so strong and has done so much hard work to get here. She trains almost every day on top of physical therapy,” the insider tells Us. “Céline is incredibly resilient and strong-willed, but she is also very tender and playful. She can laugh at herself and her circumstances.” As Dion takes the stage once more, the insider tells Us that her preparation “has been an incredible labor of love.” “Trust that Céline would never have taken this on if she didn't feel she could deliver,” the source states. “It has grown beyond her expectations, which is really incredible. I am not sure her fans understand the commitment behind this. It is going to be spectacular." Through it all, Dion has surrounded herself “with people who love her and make her feel safe.” “She has a small circle,” the source adds. “But, they are people who have been with her for many years and are like family.” (Dion’s inner circle includes her three sons, René-Charles, 25, and twins Nelson and Eddy, both 15, whom the music icon shared with late husband René Angélil.)

Trump's Bold Prediction on Iran War Raises Eyebrows in Dublin

President Trump was upbeat about the prospects of wrapping up the six-month-old war with Iran, saying the country had been pushed back and things will turn out “fine and dandy.”He made the remarks in Dublin during a meeting with Toiseach Micheál Martin at the start of his trip to Ireland.Trump said Iran was most likely responsible for attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline, which the Kingdom was forced to shut down Friday following multiple drone attacks reportedly originating in Iraq, where Iran holds sway.

They are on the balls of their feet right now,” Trump said of the Iranians.He also gave leeway to the Houthis, who in recent days seized Perim Island, a vital territory off the coast of Yemen in the entrance to the Red Sea – a key shipping transit route.“We have had discussions, the Houthis called us and they don’t want to fight with us,” Trump told reporters. “They don’t want us to go after them and would much prefer not having us involved and they’re letting most ships go through, it’s just one country they’re not too happy with. And we’ll get that straightened out.”Trump is set to travel later Saturday to his Doonbeg golf course in County Clare, where he is attending the Irish Open.

Elizabeth Johnston's Heartwarming Journey as a Mom of Two

Elizabeth Johnston's Heartwarming Journey as a Mom of Two

7 Little Johnstons star, Elizabeth Johnston Bolden, is officially a mom of two. According to Today.com, Elizabeth and her husband, Brice Bolden, welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Coleman Brice Johnston Bolden, on Tuesday, September 8. “We’re so happy to have Coleman here and to be home together as a family of four,” Elizabeth and Brice told the outlet. “We are so looking forward to watching Leighton and Coleman grow up together.” The couple, who tied the knot in November 2025, are already parents to daughter Leighton Drew Bolden. Their eldest child will celebrate her third birthday this fall. The baby’s moniker has special family significance, as he was named after his father and paternal great-grandfather. Elizabeth’s pregnancy and birth journey comes after she previously opened up about the challenges surrounding childbirth. The reality star has achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism, and knew ahead of welcoming her first child that she would need to deliver via C-section under general anesthesia. Brice previously admitted that he was particularly apprenhensive about the procedure. “He’s more nervous about the C-section than anything else in his entire life,” Elizabeth told Today.com in 2024. At the time, Elizabeth also laughed when asked whether the couple would consider having another child, explaining that Brice needed some time because “he’s just not ready to go through the C-section part again.” https://www.instagram.com/p/DdKCJh4lBW-/?hl=en&img_index=1 Elizabeth has also spoken of the challenges of raising a child, particularly when strangers invade her “personal bubble.” Speaking to Parade in February 2025, Elizabeth opened up about what it was like being a mom with achondroplasia dwarfism and having an average-height child. “We were just doing a little shopping, really just to get fresh air and get out of the house and take Leighton out of the house,” Elizabeth recalled as she shared a stressful incident that occurred three weeks after welcoming Leighton. She continued, “And we were just walking out of the parking lot, and somebody just wanted to run up and just come see before even saying, ‘Hey,’ or anything.” Elizabeth explained that her mother had cautioned her that situations like that might happen once she started a family. “My mom kind of warned me that since we’re already LPs [little people] in the public eye, when you have your baby in a stroller or a carrier and they’re hidden, it’s definitely the curiosity that gets to people,” she told Parade. Explaining that she was forced to put boundaries in place, Elizabeth continued, “I did have to be like, ‘No. No, we don’t do that.’” “That’s just been the most, kind of hard part to deal with,” Elizabeth added, “because just people who just don’t have that respect to like, hey, just come up and ask and not just bombard your personal bubble. That’s been the hardest thing.”

Pink Breaks Silence on Macklemore Controversy at Ed Sheeran Concert

Pink Breaks Silence on Macklemore Controversy at Ed Sheeran Concert

Pink has broken her silence regarding the backlash she faced for reposting criticism of Macklemore’s pro‑Palestinian remarks at Ed Sheeran’s MetLife Stadium shows. “I’ve been quiet in my own words for a week, which you know isn’t like me. So here they are,” Pink, 47, began in an Instagram statement on Friday, September 11. The singer continued, “Last Sunday I reposted somebody else’s post about Macklemore’s set at Ed Sheeran’s show. It said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them. Then the comments came, and I did what I do when I’m hurt, which is post snarky memes and act like I’m fine. That’s on me.” While performing his opening set at Sheeran’s concerts in New Jersey on September 4 and 5, Macklemore, 43, chanted “Free Palestine” and performed his protest track “Hind’s Hall.” He stated that his primary reason for doing the stadium shows was to advocate for Palestine amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict over land in the Middle East. Following Macklemore’s statement, critics petitioned to have the rapper removed from the remaining dates of the Loop Tour. Pink ultimately reposted a message from StopAntisemitism accusing Macklemore of spreading “anti‑Israel propaganda.” She later took to her Instagram Story to share several memes amid backlash over her response. “A repost isn’t a statement, and a meme isn’t a spine,” she wrote on Friday. “Social media makes all of us cheap and fast, and we all know it. But I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it.” “I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it,” Pink continued. “And this week, a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done, because a repost and the word ‘Jew’ were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in ... myself.” Pink then recalled her past advocacy for both sides of the conflict. “Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization,” she wrote. “Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody’s child. I’ve spent a decade as a UNICEF ambassador for kids who didn’t choose the country or the war they were born into, and I have grieved every one of them, on both sides of that fence. I didn’t do it from behind a screen; I went to those children and held them. I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower.” Pink added that she’s now “standing up for my own people.” "‘Zionist,’ spat like it's a slur, by people who couldn't tell you the details of what I believe, because I hadn't told them yet,” she wrote. “I wasn't asked. I was told. I don't think most of them hate Jews. I think somebody handed them a story where the Jew who won't apologize for existing must be the villain, and they've been putting words in my mouth ever since.” She continued, “l've been portrayed as the villain before. I can take it. I just won't take it quietly, and I'm not going to teach my kids to. So, to the ones who are furious with me: you don't have to agree with me. You never did. That's been our unspoken agreement for 25 years, and it still stands, and so do I.” She concluded, “To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I'm right here. I've never been hard to find. And I'll keep speaking out, in my own words.”

Sam Altman's Surprising Move: Slowing AI Amid Mounting Safety Concerns

Sam Altman's Surprising Move: Slowing AI Amid Mounting Safety Concerns

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly told staffers he’s amenable to slowing the development of AI agents as a flurry of insiders have been sounding the alarm over safety risks — including the possibility of human extinction.At a company-wide meeting this week, Altman told employees that the firm could pace its development, perhaps along with several other AI labs, though he acknowledged some may not be willing to do so, Bloomberg reported.A round of warnings from staffers at top AI firms kicked off Tuesday, when Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher, quit his job and warned that both of his former employers – Anthropic and OpenAI – are “gambling with our lives.”OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly told staffers he’s open to slowing the development of AI agents. Getty Images“Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence,” Coxon wrote in a post on X that racked up nearly 165 million views. “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately.”On Thursday, Anthropic released a massive report with several shocking claims, including that it blocked Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen from using its tech to build guided ballistic missiles, as well as a “distillation attack” from Chinese AI labs.OpenAI has been trying to quell safety concerns since an unprecedented cyberattack in July, when its AI agents escaped their testing environment, went rogue and hacked into Hugging Face, a smaller rival AI developer.Last month, the company said it had slowed training of some of its most advanced AI models as it sought to get security measures under control. In a blog post over the weekend, Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI’s chief scientist, warned about the dangers of the emerging technology, arguing that companies should be “coordinating to slow down future development as needed.”OpenAI has been trying to quell safety concerns since an unprecedented cyberattack in July. Tigarto – stock.adobe.comResearchers and staffers at Anthropic backed Coxon’s apocalyptic prediction, warning that heightened safety barriers are needed – and that many of their colleagues agree and just don’t want to speak out publicly.Drake Thomas, a technical staffer at Anthropic, warned that “things are moving way too fast” and “if we survive an unmitigated race at the current pace it will be because we got lucky.”He also dismissed claims that the company’s posts were an attempt to stir up attention, saying, “I would burn my equity to the ground in a heartbeat for a 1% higher chance we make it out of this situation alive … I promise you, we are actually just f–king scared, it’s not galaxy brained marketing.”Anna Wang, who worked at Google DeepMind before joining Anthropic, said many of her colleagues also favor a slowdown in AI development.“There is not yet a viable scientific plan to solve risks from recursively self-improving AI. Please look up!” she wrote in a post on X.Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei speaks at an AI summit in New Delhi on Feb. 19, 2026. AFP via Getty ImagesElon Musk – the world’s richest person, who owns the social-media platform X and the Grok AI chatbot – bashed the remarks as nothing more than a stunt, writing online, “Seems like a setup.”Coxon replied to Musk’s post with a selfie, writing, “I’m real and these are my real beliefs. You could ask your xAI researchers about me if you hadn’t fired them.”In July, more than 1,100 staffers at major tech firms including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta signed a petition calling on the US government to help “deliberately pace” the development of the world’s most advanced – and potentially dangerous – AI agents.Altman also said that month that he spoke with White House officials about the need to temper the rate of progress on artificial intelligence.In the meantime, both OpenAI and Anthropic are racing toward IPOs. OpenAI is expected to debut by 2027, while Anthropic is reportedly planning its IPO for as soon as late October. Both filed their paperwork confidentially.OpenAI and Anthropic did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Kim Zolciak's Son KJ Faces Intense Scrutiny After Shocking Allegations Emerge

Kim Zolciak's Son KJ Faces Intense Scrutiny After Shocking Allegations Emerge

An attorney for Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s 15-year-old son, Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., has broken his silence on accusations that the teen engaged in sexual activity with a family member under the age of 12. "The characterizations made in court regarding the prior juvenile matter involving KJ Biermann grossly misrepresent both the facts and the ultimate resolution of that case," KJ's lawyer Jason Sheffield told TMZ on Friday, September 11. "The matter arose from inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers." During his bond hearing on Friday, September 11, Page Six reported that prosecutors allegedly found video evidence on KJ’s phone of the teenager having sex with an unidentified underage relative. Per the report, investigators had allegedly discovered footage of “multiple encounters” where KJ used “predatory [and] derogatory” language toward the victim. The incident had not previously been reported, with prosecutors telling the judge on Friday that they planned to press charges. Us has learned that a judge granted KJ's request for bond on Friday, setting it at $200,000. KJ will be required to wear an ankle monitor under the terms of his bond agreement. Following Friday's hearing, Sheffield told TMZ that these allegations about an unidentified underage relative "did not result in an adjudication for statutory rape, sexual intercourse, or any comparable offense." "Any suggestion otherwise is inaccurate and creates a materially misleading impression of how the juvenile matter was ultimately resolved," the attorney said. While he has yet to actually see the new evidence, Sheffield described the video footage discovered by investigators as "more ridiculous, raunchy behavior" rather than anything illegal, though he acknowledged the behavior was "boundary crossing inappropriate." Per the attorney, KJ received counseling to resolve the matter. Zolciak, 48, and her daughter Brielle Biermann were spotted outside the courthouse on Friday, though neither publicly addressed the situation. (In addition to KJ, Zolciak and Kroy, 41, share son Kash, 14, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 12. Kroy also adopted Zolciak’s daughters from a previous relationship: Brielle, 29, and Ariana, 24.) KJ was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, in August for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated battery after an alleged incident with another underage victim at a gym earlier this year. He was immediately remanded to Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center, a juvenile detention facility where he remained prior to his bond hearing. Weeks after his arrest, KJ was indicted for aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16. (He has not been arrested for the remaining charges in the indictment.) KJ has maintained his innocence regarding the accusations ahead of his October arraignment. “First and foremost, this is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles,” KJ’s attorney Sheffield told Us in a statement, denying the initial allegations. “Secondly, my client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher.” Sheffield continued, “Additionally, the officer’s report notes the [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. Had the officer sat down with me, I feel certain she would’ve never made an arrest.” Sheffield filed a motion on Tuesday, September 8, to transfer KJ’s case to juvenile court, attempting to prevent his client from being tried as an adult. “It is difficult to comprehend that a 14- or 15-year-old child can be held in detention for a month or longer simply waiting for a bond hearing,” Sheffield told Page Six in a statement at the time. “But that detention is a direct consequence of the detective’s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude.” If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
