NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Republicans on Capitol Hill are grappling over whether and how to regulate artificial intelligence companies even as top AI business leaders warn the technology could pose an existential threat to humanity.The simmering debate over AI guardrails has exploded this week as House lawmakers worked through their final week in Washington until after the midterm elections. The flurry of activity was partially spurred by tech CEOs like Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and OpenAI’s Sam Altman warning that the pace of innovation should be slowed after both companies saw AI models hack into other organizations of their own accord.And while some in Congress are demanding swift action, others who spoke with Fox News Digital are questioning the motivation of AI companies in calling for the government to step in.”I think there’s a false sense of urgency,” Rep. Troy Downing, R-Mont., told Fox News Digital.REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: CONGRESS MEETS AI AS FEARS OF HUMAN EXTINCTION JOLT CAPITOL HILLDowning spent his young adulthood in tech, having previously been a research scientist at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University and founding online calendar company WebCal, which was later acquired by Yahoo!.”Yes, we should be taking…

The U.S. Air Force has a $14 billion hole in supply for aircraft parts, affecting how the service acquires parts and looks at sustainment funding, service leaders said Wednesday.As the force grapples with supply chain and maintenance issues as well as long aircraft service lives, sustainment funding is becoming increasingly necessary to bridge the gap, service officials said in a panel at the Air & Space Forces Association’s 2026 Air, Space & Cyber Conference.“If I can throw a number out there right now, we have a $14 billion hole in supply,” Commander of Air Force Materiel Command Lt. Gen. Linda Hurry said during a panel titled “Flying and Fixing to Fight and Win.”“Let that sink in for a minute,” she continued. “I know we’re not going to get it all at once, but when we get it, we’re going to have to execute. We’re going to have to execute smartly so we can move the needle.”Hurry said that the service is managing the fleet more globally through partnerships, looking at parts with the Defense Logistics Agency and individual pieces that the force can get from the depot back in the field.“From a supply perspective, our increase in the supply rate,…

Editor’s Note: In today’s article, Yamil Sued reviews the XS Sights R3D 2.0 night sights for the Springfield Echelon. But, how do they perform? Read on to get Sued’s take on them. The sights were provided by the company to Sued for review. I’ve been a big fan of tritium night sights for a long time. Any time I test a new every day carry (EDC) pistol, the first questions I ask are: Does it come with tritium night sights, or can I easily find an aftermarket set for it? The author’s Echelon 4.5F wearing a fresh set of XS Sights R3D 2.0 night sights. He tested the combination in low light, under indoor range lighting and in bright outdoor sun. For an EDC pistol, sights matter. A good trigger is great. A reliable magazine is essential. But when the lighting drops and a target becomes harder to see, your ability to quickly acquire your sights can make all the difference. When I picked up the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F, I immediately started running it in training. It wasn’t a “shoot it once and put it away” kind of gun. I was taking it to every training session I could…

The Marine Corps issued interim guidance this week for accommodating religious beliefs involving uniform, grooming and vaccination standards, as well as dietary practices and religious holidays.According to Wednesday’s announcement, Marines seeking such accommodations must submit a written request to their command, which will assess the sincerity of the religious belief and the request’s potential impact on mission readiness.The guidance comes amid the Defense Department’s ongoing effort to narrow the list of recognized religions and limit permissions for facial hair in the name of mission readiness, while also loosening vaccination requirements to honor individual freedoms. Under the new guidance, a Marine’s written request must explain how the religious belief conflicts with a service policy or regulation, or how the policy conflicts with the belief.“Supporting information or evidence that demonstrates the religious belief is sincerely held, which may include, but is not limited to, personal testimony, participation in religious observances, or corroborating statements from religious leaders or community members,” the guidance says.The Marine must also sign a sworn statement affirming the validity of the information provided and acknowledging that false statements could result in disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or UCMJ.Before approving an accommodation, commanders must determine whether…

Apple’s major hit show “Ted Lasso” centered its return on women’s soccer and nearly every grievance progressive critics prioritize. They still said it failed women.It should serve as a reminder to Hollywood that trying to please people who are never satisfied is a losing battle. And Hollywood really should stop ruining good shows trying to chase that approval.Now, I loved the first two seasons of “Ted Lasso.” The third season wasn’t as good, but I watched the entire thing.So, when Apple brought the show back after a three-year hiatus, I was willing to give Season 4 a chance.I didn’t make it through the premiere. During the opening sequence, Ted is working at a Kansas City grocery store and casually stealing food from his employer. When a coworker asks whether he worries about getting caught, Ted says he doesn’t, “probably due to my deeply ingrained white male privilege.”It was a throwaway joke that arrived almost immediately, before the show established its new story or gave viewers much of a reason to care. It felt deliberate, like the writers were telling the audience exactly what kind of season this would be.RIDICULOUS USA TODAY COLUMN PROVES THAT THE DEMAND FOR MISOGYNY IN SPORTS…

A new report revealing quality-control issues with Marine Corps-issued cold-weather boots highlights the potential consequences of limiting the number of suppliers for essential gear.According to a new report by Newsweek, an unspecified number of Marines had to have their brand-new boots replaced during cold-weather training ahead of a Norwegian-led NATO exercise earlier this year.Marines reportedly wore holes through the boots’ leather and saw the soles separate from the fabric, allowing freezing water to seep into the boots as they hiked and skied.The issue, according to the report, stems from a legal requirement that the Pentagon use its funds to buy American-made boots.Although the intent behind the federal law is to support U.S. companies, the domestic industry is too small to meet demand, which can create problems with product quality and price.Troops can currently wear non-American-made boots if they purchase them on their own. That standard could change, however, as federal lawmakers consider the Better Outfitting Our Troops, or BOOTS, Act.The measure would prohibit service members from wearing optional combat boots in uniform unless they were manufactured entirely in the U.S.Critics of the measure, like the Cato Institute, say the BOOTS Act “would deny service members the ability to find boots…

Ryan Clark once again accused ESPN of leaking the news of his firing to OutKick to embarrass him. This time, he said so during an appearance on the influential Black radio show “The Breakfast Club.””Everybody that got laid off got told on Tuesday. Only one person got told on Monday on set. Me. That’s the distinction,” Clark told the hosts Tuesday. “It was also purposeful. It was also meant, in my opinion, to humiliate. In leaking it to OutKick, you now know if anybody is going to curry favor for you in this decision, it’s going to be them because it’s me.”ESPN informed Clark of his firing during a commercial break of the July 22 edition of “NFL Live.” He did not return to the program.
