🤖 Meta's Secret Model, UK's £8B AI Scandal & AI Weapons Hitting 850K Targets

🤖 Meta's Secret Model, UK's £8B AI Scandal & AI Weapons Hitting 850K Targets

Meta is quietly developing a new model codenamed Watermelon, and it's being positioned as a direct challenger to OpenAI's latest — and that's just where today's story starts. A Guardian investigation has exposed serious cracks in one of the UK's most hyped AI infrastructure projects, an £8.2 billion datacentre complex in Scotland where government officials privately admitted to a power 'issue' and locals say they were misled with promises that experts are calling 'complete bunk.' It's part of a wider pattern of AI investment announcements that look great in press releases but crumble under scrutiny — including questions around OpenAI's own Stargate UK project. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is now comparing unregulated AI to the scale of Hiroshima, calling for urgent international agreements involving the US and China. That warning lands harder when you learn an Israeli defense contractor has revealed its AI targeting system identified roughly 850,000 targets across the Gaza and Lebanon conflicts — around 1,000 per day. On the healthcare front, the NHS is rolling out AI triage to 200,000 patients while Australia raises privacy alarms over AI tools silently recording doctor-patient conversations. China is meanwhile closing in on a robotics breakthrough that could make humanoid robots genuinely useful for the first time. And the online fanfiction community is fracturing over AI-generated stories, a cultural battle that connects directly to authors like Anna Funder speaking out about having their life's work taken without consent or payment.
