AI Avatars Run Hospitals and Give Lectures in China — Law Scrambles to Keep Up

AI-powered digital avatars are taking on major social roles across China, running hospitals, delivering university lectures, and providing companionship. The technology is advancing faster than the legal framework, which is still scrambling to catch up. Researchers warn of significant ethical and legal gaps that need urgent attention.

Should AI avatars be allowed to take on social roles like running hospitals?

Diablo 4 players slam Season 14 update over mythic items

Diablo 4's Season 14 update has triggered a wave of player backlash. Fans accuse Blizzard of using Season 13 as a trap, with the new season failing to deliver meaningful improvements. The controversy centres on the mythic item system, which players say remains deeply unsatisfying.

Should Blizzard completely overhaul the mythic item system in Diablo 4?

BBC confirms Doctor Who cancelled — no new showrunner or Christmas special

The BBC has officially responded to the cancellation of Doctor Who, more than a month after the show was put out to competitive tender and ultimately axed. Contrary to earlier rumours, no Christmas special for 2026 was ever produced and no search for a new Time Lord took place. Outgoing showrunner Russell T. Davies had confirmed writing a Christmas script, but it will not be made.

Was the BBC right to cancel Doctor Who?

US diesel hits $5 a gallon again — up 33% since the Iran war began

US diesel prices have hit $5 a gallon again, up 33% from when the Iran war started. Renewed fighting in the Persian Gulf and reduced refinery capacity are the main drivers. Prices first crossed the $5 mark in March, and the latest surge is squeezing transport and logistics costs nationwide.

Should the US boost domestic oil production to bring diesel prices down?

Ex-NFZ chief Sośnierz: Medical procedure pricing in Poland is total chaos

Andrzej Sośnierz, former MP and head of the National Health Fund (NFZ), commented on reports of some doctors earning up to 240 złoty per hour, calling the pricing of medical procedures in Poland "total chaos." He argues that as long as large sums of easy money circulate in the system for specific procedures, someone will always exploit it. Sośnierz says the root problem lies in the structural design of healthcare financing.

Would capping doctors' hourly pay solve the problem of abuses in the NFZ?

US Senate Unanimously Opposes Pardon for Sam Bankman-Fried

The US Senate unanimously passed a non-binding resolution stating that disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried should "under no circumstances" receive a presidential pardon. While the resolution carries no legal force, it sends a clear bipartisan political signal against any clemency move.

Singer Mery Spolsky told "Wysokie Obcasy" magazine about her three-year relationship with partner Mateusz, who encourages her body confidence by telling her, for instance, "you have such great legs". She said he would be the last person to ask her to cover up on stage. Spolsky also spoke about difficult, toxic past relationships she has left behind.

Asteroid 1998 SH2 may be a "dark comet" — a threat to Earth?

The object 1998 SH2, catalogued as a standard asteroid since 1998, displayed orbital anomalies during its close approach in August 2025, triggering a new series of analyses. Scientists now suspect it may be a so-called dark comet — an object with comet-like activity but no visible coma or tail. The finding forces a rethink of how Earth-threat assessments are made for similar objects.

Do near-Earth object monitoring systems urgently need upgrading?

US journalist travels Poland from Gdańsk to Zakopane: "Every city more beautiful than the last"

A journalist from the website Islands praised Poland as an "incredible hidden gem of Central Europe" after a trip from Gdańsk to Zakopane. She highlighted affordable prices, diverse landscapes and architecture, and was surprised by how each successive city offered a completely different experience. In her view, many travellers wrongly skip Poland when planning European holidays.

Senate Democrats block record $1.15 trillion Pentagon budget bill

Senate Democrats have blocked a vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which included a record $1.15 trillion defence budget. The blockage could have knock-on effects for allied nations, including Poland, that depend on US military support and cooperation. The future of the bill remains uncertain.

Does blocking the Pentagon budget threaten Poland's security?
