OpenAI Reaches A.I. Agreement With Defense Dept. After Anthropic Clash
A major earthquake struck the coastal region early Thursday, damaging thousands of structures and triggering a widespread power outage. Emergency services report dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries, with coastal communities evacuated as aftershocks continue.
Authorities have activated disaster response protocols, deploying search-and-rescue teams, medical aid, and temporary shelters. Officials warn of possible secondary hazards, including landslides and tsunamis, and urge residents to stay away from unstable buildings and coastline zones.
International aid organizations are coordinating with local agencies to deliver food, water, and medical supplies, while the government pledges rapid reconstruction funding and housing assistance for displaced families. Local hospitals are overwhelmed as patients flow in from affected areas.
