- It took 3 months to get inside this massive Texas data center — here’s what we saw
- Google's new AI shopping cart tracks deals across stores
- Elon Musk pledges to give every child in America a SpaceX share next year
ACCESS GRANTED: During an exclusive tour of Compass Datacenters' sprawling campus in Red Oak, Texas, Fox News Digital got a rare look inside the infrastructure behind the nation's growing appetite for computing.
ONE-STOP HUB: Ever find something you want to buy online, leave it sitting in a browser tab and then completely forget where you saw it? Maybe you spotted a great pair of headphones while searching Google. Later, you found a birthday gift at another retailer. Before long, you've got a dozen tabs open and no idea which store had the better deal.
BIG GIVEAWAY: Elon Musk has pledged to give every child in America one share of SpaceX next year, signaling that the planned giveaway could be the first of several.
FEAR FACTOR: Over the last several years, we have heard a lot about the doomsday scenarios of artificial intelligence (AI). Tech giants have told us all about how AI will take control away from society, steal our jobs, allow bad actors to design dangerous pathogens or cause a catastrophic cyberattack or destroy our financial systems.
RUST NEVER SLEEPS: The U.S. Navy is quadrupling the ceiling on a contract for AI-powered robots used to inspect warships to $300 million.
ARTIFICIAL INFORMANT: Artificial intelligence can write your emails, research complicated questions and even handle tasks while you're away. But what happens when an AI system takes an action nobody intended? Philadelphia police recently got an unexpected answer.
SILENT TREATMENT: Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic remained mum on whether the company would consider giving away shares it pledged to a public benefit fund directly to Americans.
DATA DESTRUCTION: America seems to be on the precipice of a future technological golden age. Whether we take steps toward that future could depend on which political vision prevails over the next few election cycles.
COMMON GOOD: Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed called Tuesday for AI companies to be "rebuilt" as public benefit corporations, for-profit companies with a public interest.
BOT SURE: Kansas Democratic Senate candidate Adam Hamilton on Wednesday called for a federal commission to regulate artificial intelligence, but couldn't say what specific regulations he would like to see.
PAUSE AND EFFECT: Tensions flare in Tennessee as the Memphis City Council rejects an 18-month pause on new data center development despite pushback from local residents.

The problem of AI's impact on mathematicians is proving difficult to solve.
OpenAI solving a historically difficult math problem last month kicked off a wider debate about the role AI should play in mathematics.
Sam Altman tried throwing cold water on the AI-arithmeticians beef this week. He said mathematicians have largely gone from anger to acceptance about AI usage in the field.
But that sentiment doesn't quite track with some big names in the field who remain cautious about using the tech.
Terence Tao, a UCLA professor and math prodigy, isn't necessarily pessimistic about AI but also said the "romantic era" of math is over.
"We are entering an era where exciting new things are possible, but some things are being lost," he added.
AI's rapid disruption of mathematics is noticeable.
Shortly after publishing its solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, OpenAI solved an additional 700-plus math problems and released the data on GitHub.
NYU Math professor Tristan Buckmaster said OpenAI's solutions dump wiped out entire research programs.
Finding middle ground between the two sides is proving tricky.
The reaction to a student-run Caltech AI math event shows how seriously some mathematicians take the threat.
Caiman Moreno-Earle, a math major at Caltech, told BI's Truman Dickerson that seeing AI companies quickly solve these legendary math problems was "demoralizing."
It's why the 19-year-old decided to hold a "mathathon" where participants could use AI. Moreno-Earle even got Anthropic and OpenAI to each donate $1 million worth of computing power.
Then came the critics.
A letter garnering more than 700 signatories said the event "is likely to have destructive impacts for the mathematical community."
OpenAI eventually pulled out, but the event is still set to happen. Moreno-Earle maintains the mathathon was less about causing a stir and more about ensuring humans have a place in the field of mathematics in the AI era.
Some will argue mathematicians need to adapt to the times and newer tools. There was no point fighting to use a slide rule once the calculator arrived.
The way AI is going about upending the field is also ruffling feathers, though. AI's solutions aren't always clean or clear, requiring mathematicians to go back and verify its work.
And there are also questions about how AI is coming up with these solutions. Since some mathematicians brainstorm with AI models, some have speculated they're using their own work to front-run them to a solution.
Os Estados Unidos vão passar a exigir uma declaração de saúde obrigatória a todos os passageiros que embarquem em voos internacionais com destino ao país, a partir de 3 de novembro de 2026. A medida aplica-se a viajantes de todas as nacionalidades, que terão de confirmar que não estiveram na República Democrática do Congo nos 21 dias anteriores ao embarque.
A Accor registou um crescimento de 4,9% na receita por quarto disponível (RevPAR) no terceiro trimestre de 2026, face ao período homólogo, impulsionado sobretudo pelo aumento das tarifas médias, bem como pelo menor impacto do conflito no Médio Oriente, que tinha condicionado os resultados do trimestre anterior.
