GLP-1 drugs, first approved to treat diabetes, are now widely used to help with weight loss and related health problems. These medicines show promise in reducing obesity and its many related diseases, though they can cause side effects for some people.
Key Facts
GLP-1 drugs have been approved for 20 years and originally treated diabetes.
Researchers found that patients using GLP-1 drugs often lost a lot of weight.

Some experts and organizations, like the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, recommend using passkeys—like a phone PIN or facial recognition—instead of passwords because passkeys are harder for hackers to steal. However, some people find it confusing and worry about what happens if their phone is lost or stolen.
Key Facts
Passkeys can be a phone PIN, facial recognition, or other unique device-based security methods.
Passkeys are stored only on your device, not on company servers, making them harder to hack or phish.
The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre supports using passkeys for better security.
Some people worry that if a phone with a passkey is lost or stolen, it could be easier to access.
Traditional passwords and two-factor authentication are still widely used for security.
The article invites readers to share questions and experiences about passkeys.

A teenager injured in a January 2025 high school shooting in Nashville sued Omnilert, the maker of an AI gun detection system that failed to spot the shooter’s handgun. The lawsuit claims the system had known limitations and that the company overstated how well it could detect guns in real emergencies.
Key Facts
The lawsuit was filed in Davidson County court by a shooting survivor from a Nashville high school.
Omnilert’s AI system did not detect the handgun during the shooting, which left two people dead.
The suit states the system’s effectiveness depends on factors like camera placement, distance, angle, lighting, and gun visibility.
Nashville schools spent over $1 million on installing the AI system across their cameras in 2023.
Officials said the shooter was positioned where cameras could not clearly capture the weapon.
Omnilert’s marketing claimed their AI could prevent tragedies like the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting but did not mention detection limits or false alarms.
Legal experts and critics question the reliability of AI detection systems and suggest funds could be better used on other safety measures like counseling.
This case may be the first lawsuit against an AI gun detection company like Omnilert after a shooting incident.

Several violent attacks linked to opposition against artificial intelligence (AI) have raised concerns among researchers and law enforcement. These incidents show that rapid AI development can fuel extremist feelings and sometimes violence against tech leaders and companies.
Key Facts
A 20-year-old man from Texas was arrested for trying to burn down OpenAI’s headquarters and CEO Sam Altman’s house.
The suspect carried an anti-AI manifesto, lighter, and kerosene.
In Italy, an influencer was charged with planning anti-tech attacks inspired by the Unabomber.
Two attackers in San Diego cited AI-related grievances in a deadly mosque attack.

A new weekly injection called retatrutide has been tested in people with type 2 diabetes. It showed greater reductions in blood sugar and body weight compared to a placebo over 40 weeks, by targeting three hormones that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and energy use.
Key Facts
Retatrutide acts like three gut hormones: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon.
The trial involved 930 adults with type 2 diabetes not already on diabetes medication.
After 40 weeks, participants lost between 11.5% and 15.3% of their body weight on retatrutide, compared to 2.6% with placebo.
Blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1c) fell by about 1.7-1.9 points with retatrutide versus 0.8 with placebo.
Retatrutide also improved cholesterol and blood pressure.
Side effects were mostly mild to moderate, with digestive symptoms being most common.
Some experts say more studies are needed to compare retatrutide to existing drugs like semaglutide or tirzepatide.
The drug could help people needing stronger treatment for type 2 diabetes, but lifestyle changes remain important.

Scammers use fake websites that look like real stores to trick people who use ChatGPT for shopping advice. These fake sites appear in ChatGPT’s answers and can steal money and personal information from buyers. Experts warn shoppers to be careful and check website addresses before making purchases online.
Key Facts
ChatGPT sometimes shows fake websites as sources in its shopping answers.
Scammers made cloned sites of stores like Russell & Bromley and Dunelm.
Russell & Bromley went into administration and was bought by Next, so its official site no longer exists.
Fake sites offer big discounts and may ask for payment by bank transfer, which is risky.
Legitimate UK store websites usually end with .co.uk or .com without extra words like “official” or “deals” in their names.
Experts advise going directly to a retailer’s official website instead of following AI links.
ChatGPT removed the fraudulent websites from its search index after being alerted.
If someone shares bank details on a fake site, they should report it to their bank and fraud authorities.

A campaign called Stop Killing Games is challenging video game companies that shut down online servers, making games unplayable. The group, started by YouTuber Ross Scott, submitted a petition to the European Commission after Ubisoft announced it would close servers for its game The Crew, which had over 12 million players.
Key Facts
Ubisoft released the online-only game The Crew in 2014 and announced its shutdown in 2024.
When servers shut down, players lose access to the game, even if they paid for it.
Stop Killing Games was created in 2024 by Ross Scott to fight against companies disabling games completely.
The campaign collected nearly 1.3 million signatures and took the issue to the European Parliament.
Ubisoft said the shutdown was due to server and licensing issues and argued customers only bought a license to use the game, not permanent ownership.
A class-action lawsuit against Ubisoft in California was withdrawn in June 2025.
The video game industry says shutting down servers is necessary when games are no longer profitable and warns proposals to prevent shutdowns could raise costs.
Stop Killing Games wants companies to stop completely disabling games, not to keep servers running forever.
