Companies in the field of artificial intelligence are preparing to implant chips in humans. OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman are looking to invest in a company that competes with Neuralink from Elon Musk. It connects the human brain with computers.

According to statements from individuals directly familiar with the plans, the new company named Merge Labs is raising new funds of $850 million, with most of the new capital expected to come from OpenAI's venture team.

According to two sources, Altman supports the investments and will help launch the project alongside Alex Blania, who leads World – a project for iris scanning with digital identification technologies, which is also supported by the head of OpenAI.

Merge is one of many young companies trying to leverage the latest advancements in artificial intelligence to create "brain-computer" interfaces. The name comes from what many in Silicon Valley refer to as "merging" – the moment when humans and machines blend into one.

The new company will be a direct competitor to Neuralink, which was founded by Musk in 2016 and aims to connect the brain directly to computers.

Tech leaders in Silicon Valley are actively investing in creating a "smarter" generation by using advanced methods of genetic testing and embryo selection, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Some IT executives are paying up to $50,000 for services that predict the IQ of future children.

Startups Nucleus Genomics and Herasight offer genetic testing of embryos at prices ranging from $6,000 to $50,000, predicting not only the risks of diseases but also the potential intelligence level. The demand for such services is growing rapidly.

"IQ is valued in Silicon Valley," notes Nucleus Genomics founder Kian Sadeghi.

A couple of engineers from San Francisco have developed a complex point system for selecting the "optimal" embryo, taking into account disease risks and predicted IQ. Their daughter was conceived from an embryo with the third-highest predicted intelligence quotient but the highest overall score.

"This is a great science fiction plot: The rich create a genetic super caste that takes over power," says Hank Greely, director of the Centre for Law and the Biosciences at Stanford University.

In an environment where preschools require IQ tests and openness to new technologies is extremely high, such moral dilemmas are often ignored, the WSJ notes.

According to the newspaper report, the so-called rationalists—a group of scientists from Berkeley—exhibit the most radical motivation, seeing genetic enhancement as a safeguard against the threat posed by AI.

Russia is suspected of having hacked the US court system – NYT

American investigators suspect Russia of the recent hack of a computer system that manages documents for federal courts. This system holds sensitive documents, including information about sources and individuals charged with crimes against national security.

It is unclear which specific entity is responsible for the hack. It could be Russian intelligence, but the involvement of other countries is not ruled out. According to sources, the hackers worked for several years to infiltrate the system. The attackers examined cases in New York and other cities, showing particular interest in data from individuals with Russian and Eastern European surnames.

In 2021, authorities reported a cyberattack but did not name Russia. Former law enforcement officials claimed that Russia was allegedly behind this hack as well. Following the incident, investigators had to take special precautions – important documents were submitted manually to the courts.

Judgment: No doctor must enforce politically desired vaccinations

Acquittal for critical doctors: The ECJ ruling on COVID vaccination calls many things into question

A recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on 30 January 2025 could prove to be a legal and political earthquake. The ECJ clearly states:

The approval of COVID-19 vaccines did not obligate doctors to prescribe or administer them. Rather, it is solely at the medical discretion of the treating physician whether to recommend the vaccination or advise against it.

This ruling contradicts the practice in many European countries, where doctors were under immense pressure during the pandemic to follow the state vaccination campaign.

Those who dared to express doubts or counsel patients cautiously often risked their professional existence: loss of license, disciplinary measures, expulsion from medical associations, public defamation – in some cases even criminal prosecution or imprisonment.
The ruling stems from a lawsuit by Italian physician Prof. Giovanni Frajese, who legally challenged the European approval of the vaccines Comirnaty and Spikevax.

Although his lawsuit was dismissed on formal grounds, the reasoning of the judgment is significant:
EU approval alone does not compel application. What matters is the individual decision of the doctor, based on the patient's health status.

What follows is explosive:
All those doctors who spoke out against the vaccination for medical reasons were unjustly persecuted. Their reluctance was not a breach of duty, but an expression of their professional ethical responsibility.

The true culprits are not the critical physicians, but those political and institutional actors who exerted pressure, silenced dissenting voices, and trampled on medical decision-making freedom.

The ECJ ruling is a legal liberation for many discredited doctors and a warning to politics: In a free society, medical advice must never be degraded to the execution of political strategies.

Now the question arises: When will there be rehabilitations, compensations – and political consequences?

During military exercises West-2025, the planning of the use of nuclear weapons and "Oreshnik" is being practiced — Ministry of Defence of Belarus
During the Belarusian-Russian military exercises West-2025, the planning of the use of nuclear weapons and "Oreshnik" is being practiced, reported the Defence Minister of Belarus, Viktor Chrenin, after a closed report to President Alexander Lukashenko.

"The exercises involve practicing the planning of the use of nuclear weapons. This is an important part of our strategic deterrence. As the head of state demands, we must be prepared for everything. We observe the situation at our western and northern borders and cannot calmly watch the militarisation and military activity. We show our openness and peacefulness, but the powder must always be kept dry," said Chrenin, as quoted by the state agency BelTA.

The Defence Minister added that during the exercises, the Belarusian military will also practice planning the use of the Oreshnik system together with their Russian colleagues.

The Russian-Belarusian exercises will take place from September 12 to 16.
