Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon says the AI industry is "gambling with our lives." He tells Anderson what he finds "most scary is if AI is used to make itself more intelligent" and warns these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology."
Over 1,300 people have died and at least 4,000, including 75 Americans, remain missing after the catastrophic floods in Nepal.
@CongressmanRaja, @RepSuhas, and I were joined by 27 colleagues in strongly urging @SecRubio to do much more on rescue and reconstruction.
Two men are pulled from a Nepal tunnel nine days after the devastating flash flood trapped them. Arnold Dix, a disaster expert who has been advising the search and rescue team remotely, is now on the ground there and hoping more survivors are found.
As word spread of possible survivors in a tunnel nine days after the Nepal-China flood, CNN's Hanako Montgomery jumped on a chopper and flew to the scene of the rescue.
Popular Tunnel rescuer Arnold Dix is in Nepal & will visit Chilime Hydropower site with other possible tunnel site today. He has been helping NEA Team remotely since initial day of rescue. 🙏
I'm in Pokhara, #Nepal. Just did a 5-day trek to Poon Hill. Apart from the rain (it's still monsoon), everything was fine. Hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, shops, airports--all operating. Roads are dicey but repairs will start when rains end. Nepal needs tourists!
Rescuers in Nepal are racing to reach hundreds of workers believed trapped in tunnels at damaged hydropower projects in Rasuwa after last week’s flash floods.
Al Jazeera’s Jessica Washington reports.
Humanity is speeding towards a climate catastrophe.
That’s the stark warning from the latest @UNEP report.
Every fraction of a degree of warming will cost lives, deepen inequalities & push ecosystems closer to irreversible damage.
We must raise ambition, accelerate #ClimateAction & fight for humanity. NOW.

In a matter of hours, lives, jobs & infrastructure in Nepal were swept away by floods.
An estimated 2.2 million tonnes of debris were generated, according to our latest assessment, which aggregates vital government data and advanced satellite imagery. https://t.co/woAIx8OCn0
The deadly avalanche in Nepal was initially reported as a glacier collapse. Clearer satellite imagery now shows it was the mountain itself that broke off.
Geomorphologist Kristen Cook says "the rock that the glacier was sitting on collapsed," carrying ice and boulders into the valley and triggering the destructive flood.
Drone imagery clearly shows the freshly exposed rock face where the slope gave way.
Why the bedrock failed is still unresolved, but there is precedent. The same mountain suffered a catastrophic rock-ice avalanche during Nepal's M7.8 earthquake in 2015, raising the possibility that earlier seismic damage weakened the wider slope.
The Himalayas are an actively uplifting, intensely fractured and highly seismic mountain range.
For this disaster, the evidence points to bedrock failure with the glacier taken down with it.
Nepal has been deeply affected by the recent natural calamity. And at this difficult moment, we have a simple message for the world:
NEPAL IS NOT CLOSED.
This is a time to stand with Nepal.
This is a time to visit Nepal.
Nepal is calling.

China calls it “development.” But when Beijing turns Tibet into a laboratory for dams, tunnels, railways, roads and mega infrastructure, we have to ask: development for whom, and at what cost?
The proposed Kyirong–Kathmandu route has already seen 75 drilling sites completed and 90% of soil testing done. Across Tibet, at least 193 hydropower dams have been built or planned since 2000, with the real number potentially exceeding 300. The Lhasa–Nyingchi railway cuts through 47 tunnels and more than 120 bridges across some of the most fragile and geologically complex terrain on Earth.
The CCP keeps pushing deeper into Tibet with little meaningful public scrutiny, while Tibetans have virtually no say over what happens to their land, mountains and rivers.
This is not just about one flood. It is about the consequences of transforming an entire Himalayan ecosystem at unprecedented scale.
When Beijing treats Tibet as a construction zone, who bears the risk?
Tibetans do. The Himalayan environment does. And millions downstream in Nepal, India, Bhutan and Bangladesh do.

I met a girl who lost 17 members of her family and a 13-year-old survivor who nearly got washed away on her school bus. Displaced families are living in makeshift shelters after fleeing the worst-hit area of Rasuwa, Nepal. But they still don’t feel safe and fear more floods.
NEPAL IS CALLING🇳🇵
In an appeal to friends of Nepal, Honourable Culture Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister Khadak Raj Paudel 'Ganess'has called upon travellers to continue visiting Nepal and to stand with the country during this time.
Come and explore the hidden side of Nepal.
