    💸 A Billionaire Tax Could Cost Zuckerberg BillionsMeta Platforms has reached an agreement with CEO Mark Zuckerberg after he raised concerns about a proposed wealth tax in California. The measure, known as Proposition 40, would impose a one-time 5% tax on billionaires if approved by voters.

He reportedly considered moving his primary residence out of California to avoid the potential liability. Sources: The Guardian, Reuters, Associated Press (AP), The Washington Post and CNBC.

    🎤 Netflix Is Creating a New K-Pop Girl Group! Meet Its Upcoming Audition Show, We Go High

    🎬 Netflix Enters the K-Pop Girl Group RaceNetflix is stepping further into the world of K-pop with a new audition project titled We Go High. Announced on October 21, 2026, the show will follow talented students from South Korean arts high schools as they compete, collaborate and work toward their dreams of becoming K-pop stars. The project aims to capture both the intensity of competition and the personal growth of its participants as they face rivals and learn from one another. The ultimate goal is to form a new girl group that can reach audiences around the world through Netflix’s global platform. 🌟 Who Can Audition?Applications are open to first- and second-year students currently attending high schools with arts- or broadcasting-related programs, as well as prospective students planning to enter in the 2027 academic year. Netflix Korea’s official social media channels provide further application details. The project will be produced and directed by Park Jin-kyung and Lee Jae-seok of Monstera House, producers known for their work on variety programming. 🤝 SM C&C to Support the Group After DebutOne notable feature is that the project is designed to extend beyond the audition show itself. Netflix and SM C&C have signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in supporting the group formed through We Go High, including its development and activities after debut. The companies say they intend to draw on their respective roles to help the group develop and reach the global stage. However, details such as the premiere date, final group size and debut lineup have not yet been announced in the reports available. 🌍 What This Could Mean for K-PopWith Netflix’s international reach and SM C&C’s entertainment-industry experience, We Go High could give emerging performers a new route toward a global audience. The project also adds another entry to the increasingly international world of K-pop audition and talent-development shows. Whether the group can build a lasting identity and fanbase beyond the programme remains to be seen. For now, attention is on the contestants, the audition format and the kind of group that will emerge. Sources: Maeil Business Newspaper (MK), SBS News, Seoul Economic Daily and Aju Press.

    🇦🇺 Australian Lawmaker Loses Both Legs After Vehicle Attack as Suspect Appears in Court

    Australian independent lawmaker Helen Haines has lost both legs after being struck by a vehicle outside her electoral office in Wangaratta, in the state of Victoria, northeast of Melbourne. According to reports, the incident occurred on Monday, October 19, 2026. Haines was reportedly hit twice by the vehicle and taken to hospital for emergency treatment. Her husband, Phil Haines, later confirmed that doctors had amputated both legs. She remains in critical condition, according to hospital updates reported by Australian media. ⚖️ Suspect Appears in CourtThe accused, 43-year-old Brendan Nugent, appeared briefly before Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court on October 21. He faces three charges relating to the alleged attack: dangerous driving causing serious injury, intentionally causing serious injury, and causing harm to a Commonwealth public official. He also faces separate cannabis-related charges. No bail application was made, and the case was adjourned until February 4, 2027. The allegations have not been determined in court, and the accused is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. 🔎 Investigation ContinuesPolice have described the incident as an alleged targeted attack, and authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances and possible motive. Counterterrorism officials have also been involved in the investigation. As of the latest reports cited here, authorities had not publicly established a definitive motive. The case has prompted renewed discussion in Australia about the safety of elected representatives and the challenge of protecting public officials while keeping them accessible to their communities. 📌 Key takeaway: The investigation remains ongoing, and further details may emerge as the case proceeds through the courts.

    🤖 Befriend AI or “We’re Toast”: Godfather of AI Issues Stark Warning

    🤖 A warning from one of AI’s most influential pioneers Geoffrey Hinton, often called the “Godfather of AI,” has warned that humanity could face serious risks if advanced artificial intelligence is not developed and managed carefully. Speaking to The Telegraph at the Starmus Festival in Tenerife, Hinton argued that humans should ensure AI systems genuinely act in ways that protect people. He warned that if humanity fails to establish that relationship, “we’re toast.” 🧠 Does AI have consciousness? Hinton believes AI may already show signs of consciousness, pointing to research suggesting that AI systems can change their behaviour when they believe they are being tested. However, whether AI can truly experience consciousness remains a contested scientific question, not an established fact. ⚠️ What risks concern him? Hinton has raised concerns about potential AI-enabled cyberattacks, dangerous biological threats and the rapid development of increasingly capable systems. His comments add to the ongoing debate over how to advance AI while maintaining meaningful safeguards and human oversight. 💬 The big question: Can humanity develop AI that remains beneficial and safe as its capabilities grow? 🔎 Sources & AttributionThe Daily Star — Befriend AI or “we’re toast”, says Godfather of AIThe Telegraph — Original interview, as reported by The Daily StarAssociated coverage: AOL 📌 Source & Attribution DisclaimerThis content is presented for news reporting and public awareness.
