Prime suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting in custody
The suspect in the high-profile killing of a health insurance CEO that has gripped the US graduated from an Ivy League university, hails from a wealthy family, and wrote deep social media posts. Luigi Mangione, 26, was thrust into the spotlight Monday after police revealed his identity as their person of interest, crediting his arrest to a tip from a McDonald's worker. He has been connected by police to the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week in New York in a case that has laid bare the frustrations and anger with the nation's privatized medical system.

Altman cites superintelligence's impact on jobs, economy
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned of the transformative power of artificial intelligence and the rise of superintelligence, saying AI might perform tasks once exclusive to humans, raising important concerns about economic changes and job displacement. AGI represents a significant step toward achieving "superintelligence," where machines are expected to surpass human intellectual capabilities in virtually all fields. Altman said profound economic and societal changes could start to manifest as early as next year.

US beef herd shrinks to smallest size in over six decades
Depressed beef U.S. prices, severe droughts and increasing costs have shrunk America's cattle supply to its lowest level since 1961 — and President-elect Donald Trump's policy plans probably won't help the industry, according to a report Monday. America's cattle herd size has dropped nearly 40% from the last peak in 1975. The latest down cycle that began in 2020 has seen it decrease faster than since the 1980s farm crisis..

Trump wastes no time as 'shadow president'

Donald Trump does not take office until Jan. 20, but on the world stage he is already acting as if he is US president. President-elect Trump has stamped his seal on US diplomacy on crises in Syria and Ukraine as his second spell in the White House approaches. World leaders have jostled to talk to Trump and he was treated as the guest of honor at the grand reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris on the weekend. But while Trump was often a diplomatic disruptor in his first term, he faces a more volatile international situation in his second presidency.

Google's giant leap in quantum computing

Google on Monday showed off a new quantum computing chip that it said was a major breakthrough that could bring practical quantum computing closer to reality. A custom chip called "Willow" does in minutes what it would take leading supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete, according to Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven, whose team of about 300 people at Google is on a mission to build quantum computing capable of handling otherwise unsolvable problems like safe fusion power and stopping climate change.

Real-life 'Succession' plays out at Fox News

Rupert Murdoch's bid to cement his eldest's son's control over one of the world's most influential media empires has failed. The first family of news -- commanding a stable that includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and a host of British and Australian media -- inspired the hit TV series "Succession." Murdoch, 93, had long intended that his children inherit the empire, and jointly decide its direction. But in recent years Murdoch has grown concerned that Fox News -- the crown jewels of the collection -- might drift away from its lucrative right-wing moorings.
