CHATHAM, N.J. (AP) — That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It's unclear if it's drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward. Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, the saga of the drones reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights. This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: Lawmakers are demanding (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what's behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy wrote to President Joe Biden asking for answers. New Jersey's new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X. But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies — none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they're looking into what's happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else. Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on. In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group. The Facebook page, New Jersey Mystery Drones — let’s solve it , has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there. One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it’s otherworldly. “Straight up orbs,” the person says. Others weigh in to say it’s a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.) Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she's glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said. “I find myself — instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house — checking it,” she said. She doesn't buy what the governor said, that the drones aren't a risk to public safety. Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose “a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” “How can you say it’s not posing a threat if you don’t know what it is?” she said. “I think that’s why so many people are uneasy.” Then there's the notion that people could misunderstand what they're seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots. Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they're looking at. Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories. “It represents the United States of America in 2024,” Austin said. “We’ve lost trust in our institutions, and we need it.” Federal officials echo Austin's view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy. That's not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects. For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it’s up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions. “My main goal is I don’t want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time,” he said. “Whether or not it’s foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I’m saying is it’s alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time,” he added.

The technology sector has become the central axis of the global economy, driving profound transformations in traditional industries and shaping new social dynamics. Recently, it was revealed that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman plan to donate $1 million each to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, as tech executives line up to gain favor with the president-elect, just one month before he takes the oath of office for the second time. Bezos and the e-commerce giant reportedly informed Trump’s aides earlier this week of their plans to contribute $1 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. Similarly, Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, who is in a legal dispute with Trump’s prominent advisor Elon Musk, also plans to donate $1 million to the inaugural fund, according to a spokesperson for Altman speaking to Fox News Digital. “President Trump will lead our country into the AI era, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure the United States remains at the forefront,” Altman recently stated in a written declaration. Earlier this month, The Journal reported that Altman, a registered Democrat, feared his strained relationship with Musk could disadvantage his company under a second Trump administration that will make key regulatory decisions likely to impact OpenAI. According to the U.S. publication, Altman has been working to secure a position within Trump’s inner circle by reaching out to friends and associates connected to the president-elect and his advisors, including Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, venture capitalist Josh Kushner, and others. Meanwhile, Bezos, who stepped down as Amazon CEO in 2021 but remains the company’s largest shareholder, is making the donation through the firm, The Journal reported. Amazon will also live stream the inauguration on Prime, which counts as a separate in-kind donation valued at $1 million, according to the report. The company also streamed President Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021, though Biden’s transition team declined donations from tech companies for its inaugural fund. Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, which recently retracted an editorial endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris days before the November 5 election, is traveling to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump, a fierce critic of the tech magnate. Last week, Bezos expressed optimism about Trump’s second term and showed enthusiasm for potential regulatory rollbacks in the coming years. “I’m actually very optimistic this time,” Bezos said at The New York Times DealBook Summit in New York. “He seems to have a lot of energy around deregulation. If I can help with that, I will.” “We have too many regulations in this country,” Bezos added. Trump previously criticized Bezos and his businesses, including Amazon and The Washington Post, during his first term. In 2019, Amazon argued in court that Trump’s bias against the company hurt its chances of securing a $10 billion Pentagon contract. The Biden administration later pursued contracts with both Amazon and Microsoft. Earlier this week, The Journal revealed that Meta, the tech giant led by another former Trump rival, Mark Zuckerberg, also contributed $1 million to the inaugural fund. Zuckerberg, whom Trump once suggested should be jailed over a $400 million donation to a voting rights nonprofit in 2020, met with the president-elect last month at Mar-a-Lago. During the dinner, Zuckerberg, who has pledged neutrality in his political activities following Facebook’s handling of The Post’s 2020 reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop, gifted Trump a pair of Ray-Ban smart glasses, The Journal reported. Bezos and Zuckerberg are not the only tech titans making efforts to align with Trump in recent months. Apple CEO Tim Cook has managed to cultivate a positive relationship with Trump over the years. The two have maintained open communication through phone calls and meetings over meals. Google CEO Sundar Pichai, whose company has also faced accusations of bias in favor of Democrats, is scheduled to meet with Trump on Thursday. Salesforce co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff praised Trump after TIME, the magazine he owns, named the president-elect its “Person of the Year” for the second time.

Toronto Argonauts sign American running back Kevin BrownPeter Dutton will go to the election as the presumptive prime minister unless there is a dramatic disruption to the long, steady trend that is taking him within sight of victory. The opposition leader faces big obstacles in forming government – not least driving the “teal” independents out of parliament – but has gained ground at a rate that should alarm the Labor loyalists who thought he could never succeed. But he is also defying gravity, in a sense, because he is now ahead in the opinion polls at a time of deep unrest over the cost of living when he has no significant public plan to fix the problem. Nobody can be sure if Dutton will return to earth with a thud after he reveals the cost of his stated policy to build seven nuclear power stations over the coming decades. And nobody knows if voters will thank Dutton at the election for advocating a “back-to-basics” approach to federal spending that could cut services many voters take for granted. Dutton is certainly confident. “There is zero prospect now of a majority Albanese government after the next election,” he said on Sunday. He uses the prospect of a minority Labor government to warn voters about the power of the Greens in a hung parliament. At the same time, he benefits from the common assumption that he will not be running the country next year. He limits the media appearances that expose him to hard questions. He delivers sharp attack lines without having to worry about being put on the defensive. This means there is a softness to the Coalition plan even when the language is tough. When tested on his migration policy on Sky News on Sunday, for instance, Dutton ducked and weaved about whether he would reduce net migration to 160,000 as he claimed in May. The target has clearly been abandoned. Dutton’s policy on migration is a mystery; his plan for the economy a vacuum. What is certain, however, is that the trend is his friend. He has lifted the Coalition back from defeat and taken its primary vote to 38 per cent, safely above the 35.7 per cent result at the last election. He has slipped at times, as he did this month, but recovered later. Labor, meanwhile, has just experienced one of its biggest falls in the Resolve Political Monitor, conducted for this masthead by Resolve Strategic. Its slump from 30 to 27 per cent over the past month should jolt the party loyalists who keep hoping for a turnaround. In two-party terms, assuming preferences flow as they did at the last election, the latest Resolve Political Monitor results show the Coalition at 51 per cent to Labor’s 49 per cent. It was 50 per cent each one month ago. Here is the crucial fine print: the Coalition lead is within the margin of error, which is 2.4 per cent for this survey. The Coalition two-party vote could be as high as 53.4 per cent or as low as 48.6 per cent. The Labor result could vary by the same amount. Most polls gloss over this inherent uncertainty. This should be no consolation for Labor, however, when voters clearly prefer Dutton and the Coalition on economic management and most other key policies. If the trend continues, it puts Dutton on track to reach the primary vote that delivered government for Scott Morrison as prime minister in 2019. Yes, the “teals” are an obstacle. But the Coalition primary vote is now at a level that should challenge assumptions about “unwinnable” seats. While Anthony Albanese expresses absolute certainty about winning the election, these results should deepen the anxiety among his cabinet ministers about the government’s chances. Nothing the prime minister does seems to lift his fortunes: not the “stage 3” tax revamp, not the energy subsidies, not the passage of age limits for social media. Albanese has told colleagues that the political argument will change when it stops being dominated by complaints about Labor and starts to become a real contest about what the Coalition offers instead. He believes the mood will shift when voters no longer compare the government against perfection and start to compare it to the actual alternative – Dutton and the Coalition. Australians cannot know what Dutton offers. He has made sure not to tell them – at least not yet. And it has worked. Dismissed for so long as someone who could never be prime minister, Dutton may become the presumptive prime minister instead.

No Country For Old MacroIceland set for change of government as polls closeMONTREAL — Canadian boxer Tammara Thibeault has signed with a company owned by boxing promoter and influencer Jake Paul ahead of her professional debut. Most Valuable Promotions, which boasts Puerto Rican boxer Amanda Serrano as one of its fighters, announced Friday it signed Thibeault. The 27-year-old from Shawinigan, Que., was scheduled for a bout Friday night in Orlando against fellow Canadian Natasha Spence (8-6-2, 6 KOs), ranked 10th among middleweight contenders by the World Boxing Association. Thibeault and Spence were set to make history as the first women to compete in three-minute rounds at the professional middleweight level. “I’m super happy, I’m really excited,” Thibeault said in a phone interview. “It’s the first time in history that this is happening in a professional debut, and it’s an honour to be part of history like this. For me, it’s the standard: I’ve been doing three-minute rounds for years.” Thibeault has represented Canada at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. She was a favourite in Paris after reaching the 75-kilogram quarterfinals in Tokyo, but suffered a surprise defeat in her first match, losing by split decision to Cindy Ngamba of the Olympic Refugee Team. That loss ended a three-year streak that included gold medals at the 2022 IBA World Amateur Championships, the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2023 Pan American Games. Despite the unexpected setback in Paris, Thibeault’s negotiations with MVP were already well underway. “I’ve been negotiating with MVP for about a year. Regardless of the Olympic results, MVP was interested,” said her manager, Katia Banel. “I met (MVP’s Head of Boxing) Mike Leanardi a few months ago and again before making our decision. “Compared to other offers, whether from Matchroom or Boxxer, MVP’s initial offer was always the highest financially, and they presented it first. They offered something unparalleled: a huge signing bonus. Olympians without medals usually don’t have access to such bonuses. They also pay the highest purses in women’s boxing, even for four- or six-round fights. It’s unheard of. It’s like being paid for a 10-round fight.” MVP plans to make the most of its new protégé. Thibeault will fight at least four times a year over the three-year contract. “What’s great with MVP is that we can negotiate higher purses for each fight,” Banel said. “They’ve been very open to negotiating every clause.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 13, 2024.

A 7-year-old rivalry between tech leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman over who should run OpenAI and prevent an artificial intelligence "dictatorship" is now heading to a federal judge as Musk seeks to halt the ChatGPT maker's ongoing shift into a for-profit company. Musk, an early OpenAI investor and board member, sued the artificial intelligence company earlier this year alleging it had betrayed its founding aims as a nonprofit research lab benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits. Musk has since escalated the dispute, adding new claims and asking for a court order that would stop OpenAI’s plans to convert itself into a for-profit business more fully. The world's richest man, whose companies include Tesla, SpaceX and social media platform X, last year started his own rival AI company, xAI. Musk says it faces unfair competition from OpenAI and its close business partner Microsoft, which has supplied the huge computing resources needed to build AI systems such as ChatGPT. “OpenAI and Microsoft together exploiting Musk’s donations so they can build a for-profit monopoly, one now specifically targeting xAI, is just too much,” says Musk's filing that alleges the companies are violating the terms of Musk’s foundational contributions to the charity. OpenAI is filing a response Friday opposing Musk’s requested order, saying it would cripple OpenAI’s business and mission to the advantage of Musk and his own AI company. A hearing is set for January before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland. At the heart of the dispute is a 2017 internal power struggle at the fledgling startup that led to Altman becoming OpenAI's CEO. Musk also wanted the job, according to emails revealed as part of the court case, but grew frustrated after two other OpenAI co-founders said he would hold too much power as a major shareholder and chief executive if the startup succeeded in its goal to achieve better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence , or AGI. Musk has long voiced concerns about how advanced forms of AI could threaten humanity. “The current structure provides you with a path where you end up with unilateral absolute control over the AGI," said a 2017 email to Musk from co-founders Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman. “You stated that you don't want to control the final AGI, but during this negotiation, you've shown to us that absolute control is extremely important to you.” In the same email, titled “Honest Thoughts,” Sutskever and Brockman also voiced concerns about Altman's desire to be CEO and whether he was motivated by “political goals.” Altman eventually succeeded in becoming CEO, and has remained so except for a period last year when he was fired and then reinstated days later after the board that ousted him was replaced. OpenAI published the messages Friday in a blog post meant to show its side of the story, particularly Musk's early support for the idea of making OpenAI a for-profit business so it could raise money for the hardware and computer power that AI needs. It was Musk, through his wealth manager Jared Birchall, who first registered “Open Artificial Technologies Technologies, Inc.”, a public benefit corporation, in September 2017. Then came the “Honest Thoughts” email that Musk described as the “final straw.” “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit,” Musk wrote back. OpenAI said Musk later proposed merging the startup into Tesla before resigning as the co-chair of OpenAI's board in early 2018. Musk didn't immediately respond to emailed requests for comment sent to his companies Friday. Asked about his frayed relationship with Musk at a New York Times conference last week, Altman said he felt “tremendously sad” but also characterized Musk’s legal fight as one about business competition. “He’s a competitor and we’re doing well,” Altman said. He also said at the conference that he is “not that worried” about the Tesla CEO’s influence with President-elect Donald Trump. OpenAI said Friday that Altman plans to make a $1 million personal donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships with the incoming administration. —————————— The Associated Press and OpenAI have a licensing and technology agreement allowing OpenAI access to part of the AP’s text archives.ESTERO, Fla.
