Siri AI Rumored to Become

Siri AI is much more intelligent and personalized compared to classic Siri, but it is still not nearly as advanced as proactive, always-on agents like OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse. That may change, though, according to a new rumor. In his Power On newsletter today , Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said he was told that Apple could make Siri function more like an agent as early as next year. However, if this plan moves forward, the exact implementation remains to be seen. Dots, Muse and Grok can keep track of goals, determine what needs to happen next and continue pursuing objectives without the user initiating every individual step, said Gurman. Apple ultimately wants to go in this direction, I'm told, and I believe the company could make Siri more like an agent as early as next year. Apple's AI ambitions could go beyond making Siri more agentic. In a closed-door meeting in recent weeks, Gurman said that Apple CEO John Ternus told Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi that Apple needs to accelerate its software roadmap and move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri.

'Need Someone Who Puts America First': Karoline Declares 'End Of Trump' After GOP Midterm Rout

Donald Trump will never again lead the Republican presidential ticket, former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said, urging the party to find an America First successor following its bruising midterm defeat. Speaking on Fox News My View with Lara Trump, Leavitt said Republicans need a candidate capable of reconnecting with the working Americans who powered Trumps political rise. That leader, she argued, must understand voters struggles, address their challenges and offer hope. Her remarks turned attention towards the partys future beyond Trump. The Constitutions 22nd Amendment bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, preventing Trump from seeking another elected term in 2028. Leavitt also urged Republicans to confront the reasons for their electoral setback, rather than dismiss the result. Weve got to humble ourselves, she said, calling for a detailed examination of election data and individual races so the party can adjust its direction and messaging.#usnews #karolineleavittlive #midterms #unitedstates #republicans #gop #midterms2026 #usnews

Leavitt described the Trump White House as an exceptionally busy workplace, praising the president's dedication and long working hours. But her remarks quickly triggered a storm of criticism on social media, with users mocking her claims and accusing her of spreading disinformation. Several critics questioned the narrative surrounding Trump's work schedule, while others unleashed personal attacks against Leavitt.

Punjab: BJP lights lamps in memory of youths lost to drug menace on Diwali, pledges to fight addiction

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 8 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Punjab on Sunday marked Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas by lighting special lamps at the party's state office in memory of young people who lost their lives to drug abuse, highlighting the growing concern over the drug menace in the state. Punjab BJP President Kewal Singh Dhillon participated in the ceremony and lit lamps, including one dedicated to the youths who fell victim to drug addiction. The symbolic gesture was also a tribute to families whose lives have been devastated by drugs, particularly mothers who lost their sons and sisters who lost their brothers. The party said the initiative was dedicated to households whose lights had been extinguished by the drug menace, remembering the families struggling with the irreparable loss of their loved ones. On the occasion, Dhillon prayed for Punjab to be freed from the scourge of drugs and expressed hope that peace, prosperity and happiness would return to every household in the state. The BJP also linked the occasion of Bandi Chhor Divas with its resolve to fight drug addiction. The festival commemorates the release of the sixth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, from Gwalior Fort along with 52 kings. Describing Bandi Chhor Divas as a symbol of freedom from oppression and restrictions, the BJP said Punjab today needed liberation from the grip of drugs, which has affected its youth and countless families. The BJP reiterated its commitment to stand with families affected by drug abuse and vowed to continue its fight against the menace until the state is free from the problem. Extending greetings on Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas, the BJP prayed for divine blessings for Punjab and expressed hope that the festivals would bring happiness, prosperity and renewed hope to every household.

Gadchiroli celebrates first-ever 'Maoism-Free Diwali' in remote Binagunda

Digital Desk | Gadchiroli (Maharashtra), Nov 8 (IANS) In a powerful symbol of peace and renewed hope, the Gadchiroli Police in Maharashtra on Sunday celebrated Diwali with villagers and security personnel across the district under the theme 'Maoism-Free Diwali'. The celebrations were particularly significant in the remote and once Maoist-affected village of Binagunda, where the festival was celebrated for the first time under the new security environment. The initiative was organised across all 70 police stations, outposts and police assistance centres in Gadchiroli district under the guidance of Superintendent of Police (SP) M. Ramesh. Senior police officers visited remote locations to celebrate the festival with local residents, distributing sweets and firecrackers and strengthening the bond between the police and communities. SP M. Ramesh personally visited the Binagunda Police Assistance Centre and celebrated Diwali with villagers and security personnel. He said that the establishment of the Binagunda Armed Outpost in January 2026, followed by the success of 'Operation Antim Prahar' in May, had played a crucial role in eliminating Maoist influence from the district. Earlier, the darkness of Maoist fear prevailed in these forests, and the sound of gunfire echoed through the region. Today, after 40 years of struggle, the sound of Diwali firecrackers can be heard here. We are visiting homes, lighting lamps and spreading light and confidence in people's hearts, Ramesh said. He credited the success to the sacrifices and dedication of personnel from C-60, CRPF, SRPF and the Gadchiroli District Police. Similar celebrations were organised at Gardewada, Pendhri and Jimalgatta under the supervision of senior officers. Police personnel also celebrated Diwali with surrendered Maoist cadres residing at Navjeevan Vasahat in Gadchiroli. In another humanitarian initiative, foodgrains, festive snacks and essential supplies were distributed to farmers in drought-affected remote areas with the support of social organisations. Ramesh said peace, public participation, mutual trust and development were as important as security in building a Naxalism-free Gadchiroli.
