FIRST ON FOX: Kansass attorney general is asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the funding sources behind an "environmental lawfare campaign" that he says has taken shape in recent years.Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach alleged Monday that the Chinese government is bankrolling litigation in the United States that is designed to weaken the United States energy sector while boosting Chinas, according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.Energy Foundation China, a nonprofit based in San Francisco with a large presence in Beijing, appears to be funding some of the lawsuits, said Kobach, an elected Republican.NEW STUDY EXPOSES GREEN ENERGY ORG'S TIES TO CCP INTERESTS WHILE UNDERMINING US"Not surprisingly, the EFC appears to support actions that align with Chinas strategic interest in boosting alternative energy production systems in which China controls crucial supply chains for necessary minerals, batteries, solar panels, and other energy technologies," Kobach wrote.Kobach added that the nonprofit has "close ties" to the Chinese Communist Party and that the DOJ should investigate for possible improper foreign influence over the U.S. economy.Read the letter below.Kobachs letter follows the state attorney general testifying last month during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about the same matter. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, led the hearing, called "Enter the DragonChina and the Lefts Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance.""Our energy sector is the engine of American prosperity, the lifeblood of our industrial power, our national security, and our geopolitical leverage," Cruz said during his opening statement. "If American energy is under attack, so is American security and American independence."Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ for comment.

"It could happen tomorrow.

Iran more than doubled the number of state executions it has carried out this year compared to data from the first half of 2024, confirmed the United Nations on Monday.The UN Human Rights Office said that at least 612 people have been executed this year alone, a figure more than double the 297 people who were killed during the same time period last year.Minority groups continue to make up a disproportionate number of those being killed by Tehran, confirmed the U.N.IRAN RAMPS UP STATE EXECUTIONS AMID NUCLEAR TALKS WITH US"It is alarming to see the reports that indicate there are at least 48 people currently on death row 12 of whom are believed to be at imminent risk of execution," U.N. Human Rights Chief Volker Trk said on Monday.The news of the drastically increased number of state executions comes just one day after Tehran killed Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani on Sunday, both of whom were allegedly involved with the opposition movement known as the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK).Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a dissident group based in Paris led by the MEK, took to X to condemn the killings and said, "We will neverunder any circumstancessurrender to this bloodthirsty and criminal regime. Never shall we bow to humiliation."According to Amnesty International, "[both] were executed arbitrarily amid Irans horrific execution crisis.""Their executions highlight the authorities use of the death penalty as a tool of repression in times of national crisis to crush dissent and spread fear," the group added.More than 40% of those executed this year were convicted on drug-related offenses, while the U.N. also found that many were not only tried behind closed doors, but were issued vague charges like "enmity against God" and "corruption on earth" both of which are apparently used by the regime to "silence dissent.""Information received by my Office also indicates that judicial proceedings in a number of cases, often held behind closed doors, have consistently failed to meet due process and fair trial guarantees," Trk said in a statement.IRAN EXECUTES OVER 1K PRISONERS IN 2024, HIGHEST TOTAL IN 30 YEARS, REPORT SAYSThe number of state executions has drastically escalated since President Massoud Pezeshkian took office in July 2024, with at least 975 people killed in 2024, the highest rate since 2015.The U.N. body further warned that Iran is looking to expand its use of the death penalty and is reviewing a new espionage bill that will redefine what it considers "collaboration with hostile States."Acts including online communication and collaborating with the foreign media will apparently call into question their "ideological alignment" and will be punishable by death.The changes come as Israel has called for a regime change in Tehran, and has repeatedly emphasized that the recent strikes were an attack against the government, not the Iranian people."This bill dangerously broadens the scope of capital punishment for espionage, and I call for it to be rescinded," Trk said. "The death penalty is incompatible with the right to life and irreconcilable with human dignity."Instead of accelerating executions, I urge Iran join the worldwide movement abolishing capital punishment, starting with a moratorium on all executions," he added.

OpenAI just took a big leap forward with artificial intelligence. ChatGPT agent acts as more than just a chatbot; it serves as a real assistant that takes action on your behalf. We're talking about planning trips, managing your email, making dinner reservations, summarizing long reports, and even running code, all with your permission.If you've used tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, you know they're great at answering questions and writing content. But ChatGPT agent goes beyond that. It doesn't just suggest, it does.If you didn't know, OpenAI is one of the world's leading AI research labs. Founded in 2015, it's behind some of today's most talked-about tools, including GPT, DALLE, and ChatGPT.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.This new agent feature is available to Pro, Plus, and Team users through ChatGPT's tools dropdown by selecting 'agent mode' at any point in a conversation. It signals a shift from chat-based assistants to fully capable AI helpers.ChatGPT agent powers itself with a unified agentic system that combines multiple strengths behind the scenes. It integratesOperator'sability to interact visually with websites, clicking, filling forms, and navigating pages, with deep research's capacity for synthesizing complex information. Added to this are new tools, including a text-based browser for efficient reasoning, a terminal to run code, and direct API access. The agent also usesconnectors to apps like Gmail and GitHub to pull relevant data while maintaining security.When you assign it a task, ChatGPT agent spins up a secure virtual workspace, effectively giving your assistant its own computer. From there, it intelligently decides which tools to use, such as browsing, document editing, or command line interaction, and remembers the task context. This makes workflows smoother and more consistent, letting the agent complete multi-step assignments autonomously yet under your supervision.OpenAI's agent isn't a standalone product. It's built right into the existing ChatGPT interface, whether you're using the mobile app or the desktop version. That means you don't need to download anything new or manage a separate tool. It feels more like a true assistant than a chatbot, capable of following multi-step instructions and updating you as it works.OpenAI stresses that you remain fully in control. ChatGPT agent explicitly asks for your permission before sending emails, making bookings, or changing files. It actively refuses high-risk requests like bank transfers or actions with serious consequences without your consent.The agent stops when you open sensitive websites, avoids following harmful web instructions, and lets you clear browsing histories and revoke permissions at any time. Sensitive data like passwords are never stored or exposed because the model does not need to see them.Behind the scenes, the agent is trained to resist prompt injection attacks-malicious attempts to manipulate its behavior via web content-and OpenAI has layered multiple safeguards to prevent hallucinations, missteps, and misuse.ChatGPT's agent feature is not available on the free version. To access this tool, you need a Plus, Pro, or Team subscription.You'll fill in the following:Although ChatGPT agent breaks new ground, it does not always deliver instant results. When handling complex multi-step tasks like planning an entire itinerary or generating slide decks, the process can take minutes or even hours because it requires your confirmation before performing sensitive actions.Currently, slide deck creation remains in beta. While the outputs are organized and editable, they sometimes lack polish and may show formatting issues. The system does not yet support importing existing slideshow templates, but OpenAI plans to add this feature in future updates.Now, imagine delegating your most tedious tasks, such as replying to emails, booking dinners, or researching vacations, to an assistant who truly acts on your behalf. ChatGPT agent equips ChatGPT with both intelligence and action; it goes beyond suggesting ideas by actually getting things done.You retain full control while avoiding the need to micromanage every click or keystroke. Whether your schedule fills quickly or you simply dislike digital grunt work, ChatGPT agent is built to manage these demands efficiently.Looking ahead, OpenAI intends for the agent to work even more independently, completing your to-do list as you focus on what matters most. The key question remains: how much will you be willing to hand off?With ChatGPT agent, we're moving from AI chatbots that merely react to those that are proactive and decision-makers. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous, their capabilities will continue to expand. However, the biggest challenge for OpenAI will be striking the right balance between convenience, safety, and privacy.Would you trust an AI agent to carry out important tasks for you?

Ever catch your dog staring at the screen during movie night and wonder if they're actually watching? Turns out, they might be. A new scientific study from Auburn University found that many dogs really do engage with television, and not all pups react the same way.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

Their lower refresh rates caused flickering that was hard for canine eyes to process. Dogs see flicker more sensitively than humans do. So while you were watching your favorite sitcom, your dog was probably just seeing a strobe light. Today's high-definition, high-frame-rate TVs are a different story. The improved visuals and sound mean dogs can now recognize what's happening onscreen and respond to it.Researchers developed something called the Dog Television Viewing Scale (DTVS). It's a 16-question tool that helps measure how dogs respond to different kinds of TV content, like barking, tail-wagging, or even following something off-screen. They surveyed over 650 dog owners. More than 450 respondents reported that their dogs actually watch TV. From there, three main behavior patterns emerged:Dogs responded most strongly to other animals, especially dogs and wildlife.Some dogs physically tracked an object as it moved off the screen. This suggests they think the image might exist beyond the TV, like in real life.Dogs also reacted to people and inanimate objects, such as cars or doorbells.The researchers found that personality, not breed or age, influenced how dogs reacted. Excitable dogs were more likely to exhibit "follow" behavior, actively watching and expecting movement off-screen. Fearful or reactive dogs were more sensitive to non-animal stimuli, like human voices or doorbells. Interestingly, dogs' sex, breed, or even whether they were neutered didn't seem to affect their TV habits. Exposure to TV also wasn't a strong factor, meaning dogs aren't necessarily "trained" to watch.If you leave the TV on for your dog while you're out, you're not alone, and it might even help them feel more at ease. But not all dogs benefit the same way. The content matters. Animal-heavy programming could excite or soothe a curious pup. But shows with loud sounds or human conflict could stress out a fearful dog. Some streaming services, like DOGTV, are now designing content tailored for dogs. This research gives that idea more scientific credibility.The findings suggest a new tool for improving dog welfare, especially in shelters. Tailored TV programming could help reduce stress and provide mental enrichment for dogs waiting to be adopted. Still, more research is needed. Most of the data came from owners whose dogs already engage with TV. Behavior reports were based on what owners observed, rather than direct measurement.TV might not just be background noise for your dog. For some, it could be entertainment. For others, it might even be stress relief or stimulation. And thanks to modern screen tech, they're seeing it clearer than ever before. So next time you catch your dog watching with you, take a moment. They may really be following the action.Would you ever let your dog pick what's on TV based on their reaction?
