US trade deficit surges to $77.6bn in May, driven by AI spending and pharmaceuticals

The US trade deficit surged to $77.6 billion in May as imports outpaced exports. The increase was driven primarily by rising imports of semiconductors linked to the artificial intelligence spending boom, as well as pharmaceuticals. The figures highlight the tangible macroeconomic impact of the AI investment wave on America's trade balance.

Is the AI boom worsening the structural trade imbalance of the US?

Notion kills its email app and launches new Agents iPhone app

Notion has shut down its year-old email app, Notion Mail, and replaced it with a brand-new iPhone app called Agents. The company announced the discontinuation of the email product last month. The new app focuses on AI-driven task automation, marking Notion's continued pivot toward artificial intelligence tools.

Was Notion right to drop its email app in favour of AI tools?

$20M stolen from BonkDAO: attacker bought voting quorum and approved own transfer

Around 4.43 trillion BONK tokens worth nearly $20 million were drained from the BonkDAO treasury on Monday. The attacker exploited no code vulnerability and stole no private keys; instead, they submitted a transfer proposal, bought enough tokens to reach the voting quorum, and voted it through single-handedly. The protocol executed the transfer automatically, as the DAO's rules required.

Is the DAO voting model a safe way to manage crypto funds?

Doctor Kacprzyk Also Worked in Czฤ™stochowa โ€” Paid Standard Wage Scale

Dawid Kacprzyk, a doctor who earned a total of 1.6 million zล‚oty in 2025, worked not only at a Warsaw emergency ward but also at the specialist hospital in Czฤ™stochowa. The Czฤ™stochowa hospital told PAP that he was paid according to the standard wage scale in force at the time. The case relates to wider controversy over high earnings by doctors working shifts at multiple facilities simultaneously.

He highlighted uncertainty about how much room the deficit has to act as a stabilising force in a potential economic downturn. The comments were made to Bloomberg.

Le Pen confirmed as presidential candidate despite upheld embezzlement conviction

A French appeals court upheld Marine Le Pen's embezzlement conviction on Tuesday but shortened her ban from office, allowing her to run for president. Le Pen immediately confirmed she will stand in next year's presidential election. The case has sparked intense debate about the rule of law and democratic eligibility in France.

Should a convicted Le Pen be allowed to run for president?

2,000-year-old gold rings with Indian script found in Iron Age burial in Thailand

Two gold rings approximately 2,000 years old have been unearthed at an Iron Age burial ground in Thailand. One ring is engraved with Indian script that appears to reference an "auspicious" zodiac sign in Vedic astrology. The find suggests ancient trade and cultural links between South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Should archaeological finds be returned to the cultures they originated from?

Author of Book on Polish Women's Sexuality: Sex Always Carries Emotional Consequences

Justyna Kwil, author of the book "(Nie)udane ลผycie seksualne Polek" (The (Un)successful Sex Life of Polish Women), appeared on the Wirtualna Polska programme "Balans" and argued that sex without emotional consequences is a myth. She maintained that every sexual act carries emotional implications and cannot be fully separated from the emotional sphere. The book explores the sexual challenges and experiences of Polish women.

Is sex without emotional consequences truly possible?

Discord AI moderation bug wrongly banned over 8,000 users

Discord has admitted that a bug in its AI moderation system wrongfully banned more than 8,000 users over the past two months. The system incorrectly flagged harmless images โ€” including spreadsheets, chessboards, game textures and transparent backgrounds โ€” as harmful content. The issue had been affecting accounts since May and has since been resolved by the company.

Should platforms face financial liability for AI moderation errors?

Euclid Space Telescope finds 31 new ancient quasars, including the oldest ever known

The Euclid Space Telescope, just 1.5 years into its Euclid Wide Survey, has discovered 31 new quasars dating from the Universe's first 800 million years, including the most ancient quasar ever found. The survey was not specifically designed to find quasars but has proven remarkably effective at it. This large sample will advance research into early galaxies and supermassive black holes.

Should space missions like Euclid receive more public funding?
