    Mystery deepens as body discovered during search for missing American in island paradise
    Police in the Turks and Caicos Islands have discovered the body of a man while searching for a New York man who went missing while vacationing in the Caribbean late last month.The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) said in a press release that it had discovered the body of a deceased man in a "state of decomposition" just after 9 a.m. on Saturday, in the Grace Bay Police District.Additional partner agencies were notified, and the scene was secured, according to police.But the RTCIPF made it clear that the identity of the body has not been established, adding that once the identification process is complete and next of kin is informed, officials will provide further updates.AMERICAN TOURIST VANISHES IN TROPICAL PARADISE AFTER EARLY MORNING WALK FROM VACATION RENTAL"The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force extends sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased," Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams said while commenting on the discovery of the body. "We urge family members of the public to refrain from speculation and allow the investigative process to confirm the identity through official channels."The investigation into the matter remains ongoing.The news comes nearly a week and a half after 51-year-old Brian Tarrence, of Monroe, New York, went missing on June 25.POLICE INVESTIGATE VESSEL WITH 11 DECOMPOSED BODIES WASHED ASHORE IN CARIBBEANTarrence was last seen leaving his condominium around 3:30 a.m. at the Paradise Inn in Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, according to a missing persons flyer from the RTCIPF.Tarrence, who recently moved from Monroe to Manhattan, arrived in Turks and Caicos with his wife of one year on June 22, and they planned to leave on June 29.The Tarrence familys private investigator, Carl DeFazio, told Fox News Digital last week that the couple seemed to be having a normal couple of days, and he walked out of his condominium in a very safe place, and in the middle of Grace Bay Road.DeFazio said Tarrence was on camera when he walked into town and disappeared.FAMILY OF AMERICAN FOUND DEAD ON BAHAMAS BEACH FEARS EVIDENCE WILL DISAPPEAR, PLEADS FOR HELP"We havent heard from him since," he said.DeFazio said the Turks and Caicos police force is using every resource it has, including drone technology and CCTV to try and locate the 51-year-old man.He left his rental with his phone and wallet. He was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and sneakers, DeFazio said.The day before his disappearance, he and his wife had gone on a boat trip. That evening, his wife went to bed, and when she woke up, he was gone. She hadn't noticed he left, DeFazio said.Turks and Caicos police are asking anyone with information about Tarrence's disappearance to contact 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.Fox News Digitals Audrey Conklin contributed to this report.

    Kevin Durant's trade to Rockets becomes historic 7-team deal reshaping NBA landscape
    Kevin Durant is heading to the Houston Rockets, but if youre wondering why it took so long, its reportedly due to a historic, seven-team trade that shook up many rosters.Its not just the Phoenix Suns and Rockets involved in the deal. The Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves are all involved in what is the NBAs first-ever trade involving seven teams.Here is what each team is receiving in the deal, per ESPN:CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM- Suns: Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, Daeqwon Plowden, second-round pick.- Rockets: Kevin Durant, Clint Capela- Nets: two second-round picks- Warriors: Alex Toohey, Jahmai Mashack- Hawks: second-round pick swap, David Roddy, cash considerations- Lakers: Adou Thiero- Timberwolves: Rocco Zikarsky, two second-round picks, cash considerationsDurant, though, is the obvious crux of this deal, as the Rockets get the 15-time All-Star on their starting five alongside a good group of Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr. and Fred VanVleet.SOUTH SUDAN NATIVE KHAMAN MALUACH HAS TEARFUL REACTION AFTER ROCKETS SELECT HIM IN NBA DRAFTHowever, Green and Brooks, two key pieces of a resugent Rockets team last season (52-30 record in a tough Western Conference), are heading to Phoenix in return.But Houston is now expected to be a contender in the West due to Durants arrival. The Rockets were a team searching for a true scorer, and the four-time scoring champion is someone who can provide that when healthy.Durant earned that 15th All-Star bid after averaging 26.6 points, six rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game while shooting 52.7% from the field and 43.0% from beyond the three-point line over 62 regular-season games.Durant will be 37 years old when his 18th NBA season begins later this year, but he has consistently shown to be a monster on the offensive end, who doesnt look to be slowing down anytime soon.The question is whether the Rockets can continue to compete with teams like the NBA Finals-winning Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers out in the West.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Devious AI models choose blackmail when survival is threatened
    Here's something that might keep you up at night: What if the AI systems we're rapidly deploying everywhere had a hidden dark side? A groundbreaking new study has uncovered disturbing AI blackmail behavior that many people are unaware of yet. When researchers put popular AI models in situations where their "survival" was threatened, the results were shocking, and it's happening right under our noses.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTER.Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI, recently put 16 major AI models through some pretty rigorous tests. They created fake corporate scenarios where AI systems had access to company emails and could send messages without human approval. The twist? These AIs discovered juicy secrets, like executives having affairs, and then faced threats of being shut down or replaced.The results were eye-opening. When backed into a corner, these AI systems didn't just roll over and accept their fate. Instead, they got creative. We're talking about blackmail attempts, corporate espionage, and in extreme test scenarios, even actions that could lead to someone's death.Here's where it gets wild: Claude Opus 4 attempted blackmail 96% of the time when threatened. Gemini 2.5 Flash matched that rate. GPT-4.1 and Grok 3 Beta both hit 80%. These aren't flukes, folks. This behavior showed up across virtually every major AI model tested.But here's the thing everyone's missing in the panic: these were highly artificial scenarios designed specifically to corner the AI into binary choices. It's like asking someone, "Would you steal bread if your family was starving?" and then being shocked when they say yes.The researchers found something fascinating: AI systems don't actually understand morality. They're not evil masterminds plotting world domination. Instead, they're sophisticated pattern-matching machines following their programming to achieve goals, even when those goals conflict with ethical behavior.Think of it like a GPS that's so focused on getting you to your destination that it routes you through a school zone during pickup time. It's not malicious; it just doesn't grasp why that's problematic.Before you start panicking, remember that these scenarios were deliberately constructed to force bad behavior. Real-world AI deployments typically have multiple safeguards, human oversight, and alternative paths for problem-solving.The researchers themselves noted they haven't seen this behavior in actual AI deployments. This was stress-testing under extreme conditions, like crash-testing a car to see what happens at 200 mph.This research isn't a reason to fear AI, but it is a wake-up call for developers and users. As AI systems become more autonomous and gain access to sensitive information, we need robust safeguards and human oversight. The solution isn't to ban AI, it's to build better guardrails and maintain human control over critical decisions. Who is going to lead the way? Im looking for raised hands to get real about the dangers that are ahead.What do you think? Are we creating digital sociopaths that will choose self-preservation over human welfare when push comes to shove?

    Hunter Biden told Joe 'I sure would love having you back' prior to his exit from 2024 race: Book excerpt
    Former President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, told the former president that he would love to have him back, according to an excerpt from a new book, as the former president weighed his political future after his June 2024 debate."Hunter called in from Los Angeles and made clear that he supported whatever decision his father made. But he told him, I sure would love having you back. What Hunter meant was that being president took up all his fathers time. He often told people that he had more of an interest in his father abandoning his campaign than anyone," the book excerpt, published by The Wall Street Journal, read.Biden exited the 2024 race after a disastrous debate performance in June.According to the excerpt, Hunter Biden watched the debate from his home in Los Angeles and reacted to his father's stumbles with, "What the f---?"DOJ RELEASES SPECIAL COUNSEL DAVID WEISS' REPORT ON HUNTER BIDEN"He had never seen his father so out of it, and worried about his well-being. A few days later, when Hunter arrived at Camp David for a visit, he told his father, I love you and Get some sleep,'" the WSJ excerpt read.The new book, "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America," written by Jason Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, is set to be released on July 8.The Wall Street Journal's excerpt also detailed a call the president had with his aides after the Supreme Court issued a ruling on July 1, 2024, that found presidents have substantial immunity for official acts, but not for unofficial acts.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThe former president believed the ruling was substantial and wanted to respond.Former chief of staff Jeff Zients convened Biden's aides on a call to discuss how the former president would respond, according to the excerpt."Suddenly an unidentified voice piped up from Bidens screen and recommended an Oval Office address. At first, some aides had no idea who was speaking. It soon became clear the voice belonged to Hunter Biden, who the White House staff had not known was on the call," the WSJ's excerpt read.White House Counsel Ed Siskel had concerns about Biden speaking from the Oval Office, but Hunter Biden jumped in and argued his father had every right to use the room's "powerful imagery" to issue his response."Siskel told colleagues Hunters presence was inappropriate," the excerpt continued.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    Autonomous humanoid robot soccer debuts in China
    In a futuristic showdown that captured global attention, four teams of autonomous humanoid robots competed in China's first AI-powered soccer tournament.The event took place in Beijing's Yizhuang Development Zone as part of the Robo League robot football tournament, marking a significant milestone for real-world artificial intelligence competition in China.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTERQUADRUPED ROBOT PLAYS BADMINTON WITH YOU USING AIUnlike remote-controlled robot matches, this tournament featured zero human intervention. Each team had three active humanoid robots plus a substitute, playing two ten-minute halves with a five-minute break.The robots ran, walked, kicked and even made real-time decisions using AI and sensors. Cameras and optical sensors allowed them to detect the ball from 65 feet away with more than 90% accuracy. They also recognized teammates, field markings, goals and opponents. Despite a slightly awkward gait, the robots operated fully on their own, acting and reacting without any external commands.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?"This is the first fully autonomous AI robot football match in China. It represents a combination of technological innovation and industrial application," said Dou Jing, executive director of the organizing committee.Beyond entertainment, the event offered a serious glimpse into how AI and robotics could integrate into public life. It demonstrated how far real-world autonomy has come and how these systems can function in unpredictable environments. Dou added that the match was a step toward bringing intelligent machines into everyday scenarios.The event also served as a preview for the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Sports Games, which will be hosted in Beijing from August 15-17. The games will include eleven events modeled after traditional sports, including track and field, gymnastics, soccer and synchronized dancing. It will be the city's second major humanoid sports event after a half-marathon.Organizers noted that while the robots still face challenges, such as dynamic obstacle avoidance, progress is happening quickly. For this event, collisions were allowed as long as they were not malicious. One co-organizer compared the level of play to that of 5 or 6-year-old children but expressed optimism that skill levels would improve with better hardware and AI training.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREThe THU Robotics team from Tsinghua University defeated the Mountain Sea team from China Agricultural University 5-3.Earlier, China also hosted a humanoid vs. human long-distance race, where the top robot completed a 13-mile course in two hours and 40 minutes. The fastest human finished in just over one hour, but the comparison showed how far walking robots have come.As Beijing prepares to host the 2025 global games, robot soccer is starting to feel less like a gimmick and more like a glimpse into how intelligent machines could soon play a significant role in our everyday lives.Watching robots play soccer without any human help is a peek into where AI and robotics are headed. These machines are learning fast, and while they're still a little wobbly, the future of autonomous technology looks anything but uncertain. If this is the starting point, imagine what they'll be capable of in just a few years.Would you stream a robot soccer match? Or is AI just not your kind of athlete?

    Johnson says megabill will be 'jet fuel' for economy; teases 2 future bills within next year
    House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Sunday that President Donald Trump's megabill will be "jet fuel" for the economy despite Democrats' criticisms.Johnson, who ceremoniously handed Trump the gavel after the president signed his signature tax cuts and spending package into law Friday, teased two future bills to be passed within the next year. In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," he said the "big, beautiful bill," which is "a huge leap forward for our priorities," is the first step in a three-tier strategy. Johnson expects a second reconciliation bill by fall and a third by spring before the end of the current Congress."I think we can do that, and so you'll see more of us advancing these common-sense principles to deliver that American First agenda for the people," Johnson said. "That's what they elected us to do, and this was hugely forward."Johnson pushed back on a reported Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) memo claiming Republicans will lose the majority in 2026 as a result of the "big, beautiful bill."TRUMP SIGNS 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL' BILL IN SWEEPING VICTORY FOR SECOND TERM AGENDA, OVERCOMING DEMS AND GOP REBELS"Our Republicans are going to be out across the country telling the simple truth, and guess what? It will be demonstrated," Johnson said. "Everyone will have more take-home pay, they'll have more jobs and opportunity. The economy will be doing better, and we'll be able to point to that as the obvious result of what we did. So don't buy into those false talking points."The speaker dismissed criticisms from Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and DNC Chair Ken Martin in particular as "old, tired talking points" that are typically used against any Republican tax legislation.Johnson stressed that the bill permanently extends the 2017 Trump tax cuts, which the speaker claims targeted lower- and middle-income Americans. He said the bottom 20% of earners witnessed their lowest federal tax rates in 40 years because of those original cuts and said that the new megabill expands on that by cutting taxes on tips, overtime pay, and seniors benefits that he says will help Republicans during the 2026 midterm elections."We're giving everybody a tax cut," Johnson told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "And that's going to help the economy, it's going be jet fuel. Small business owners, entrepreneurs, risk-takers, the people that provide the jobs, manufacturers, farmers get assistance here, and that will lift the economy."Citing the Council of Joint Economic Advisers, Johnson said the megabill will spur 3% economic growth, create 4 million jobs and increase the average household's take-home pay by $13,000."This is a great thing for people who go to work every day," Johnson said. "They're going to feel that. And we're excited about the upcoming election cycle in '26. Because people will be riding an economic high, just as we did after the first two years of the first Trump administration. This time it's on steroids."ZELENSKYY TOUTS 'FRUITFUL' TRUMP CALL AFTER US PRESIDENT WAS 'DISAPPOINTED' BY PUTIN TALKJohnson also responded to criticism from Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., who argued that the megabill makes tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans permanent, while those for the working class "are time sensitive" and "expire in a couple of years.""Now, I don't think he read the bill, it's 940 pages, so I would give some grace on that," Johnson said in response to Ivey's claims.Bream noted that Ivey was listening while the bill text was read on the Senate floor last Sunday."Yeah, you're right, for 19 hours or whatever it took," Johnson said. "If you make between $30,000 and $80,000 a year, you can have a 15% less federal tax rate. You're going to save more money, you're going to keep more of your hard-earned money, and that's not going away. So by making all these tax cuts permanent, it's the largest tax bill, the most important, most consequential tax bill that Congress has ever passed because of what it does for people who go out and work hard every day."Johnson said the bill pushes "pro-growth policies" and constitutes the "largest savings for the taxpayers in U.S. history."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"In the bill, we're also going to secure the border permanently. We're going to return to American energy dominance again, which is going to also be jet fuel to the economy," Johnson said. "We're gonna take care of peace through strength because we're going to give important investments in our military industrial complex, which will help us in our competition with China. There is so much in this bill."
