According to CCTV News on April 6, on the 5th local time, the Israel Defense Forces announced the results of the investigation into the air raid on the central city of Deir al-Bairah in the Gaza Strip on the night of April 1, killing 7 staff members of charitable organizations, admitting that this was a serious mistake.
In addition, on April 5, local time, CNN quoted a senior U.S. government official as saying that the United States is on high alert and is actively preparing to respond to a possible attack by Iran. Senior U.S. officials believe that Iran's attack is "inevitable," the report said.
According to CCTV News, citing local media reports, on the 5th, Israel temporarily closed 28 embassies abroad. The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement on the 4th, saying that based on the assessment of the current situation, it has been decided to suspend the vacation of all combat force personnel. On the same day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran would face consequences if it retaliated against Israel.

As early as June, the GPT-5 red team test email was exposed
Recently, a netizen on social platform X revealed that GPT-5 is undergoing a red team test. Red team testing is a security testing method that aims to assess and improve the security of a system or network by simulating real-world attacks.
Subsequently, Yuval, the founder of the HACKIT AI community and a cybersecurity architect, posted an invitation email from OpenAI to his red team.

The reason why security testing is so important for the new version of GPT is, on the one hand, that ChatGPT already has a very large number of users, and if there is a problem with security, OpenAI may also face the same public opinion pressure as Google. On the other hand, the To B business is OpenAI's main source of income, and customized ChatGPT can greatly enhance the business capabilities and efficiency of various enterprises.
Some netizens said that the red team test will last for 90-120 days. GPT-5 was previously rumored to be released in June this year. It seems that the red team test fits well with the timeline of the model release.
However, others said that these people were just invited by the red team to test, and did not mention the specific model.

As technology companies continue to increase their investment in AI, a war for AI talent is raging within the technology industry.
On April 4, local time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a series of posts on the social platform X, saying that OpenAI is seducing Tesla engineers with high salaries, and in some cases has succeeded.
Musk called the competition for AI engineers "the craziest talent war I've ever seen." According to Fox Business, Musk also launched a counterattack, saying that the company is increasing the pay of AI engineers to prevent being "poached".
Naveen Rao, head of generative AI at startup Databricks, previously said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that hiring for regular software engineers is not a problem, but there are very few qualified candidates for large language models (LLMs) to train or solve AI challenges, estimated at no more than 200 worldwide. Rao said that in the context of layoffs in other tech fields, the annual salary quotation of front-line AI talent easily exceeded one million dollars.

On April 3, local time, a study jointly published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Olivier Rascol, a professor at the University Hospital of Toulouse, and Wassilios Meissner, a professor at the University Hospital of Bordeaux, showed that the diabetes drug lixisenatide effectively delayed the development of Parkinson's disease in a one-year trial, which is a blessing for the medical community and about 10 million Parkinson's patients worldwide.
The Rascol research team emphasized: "If the trial data are confirmed, the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease will be significantly improved. ”
"This is the first large-scale, multi-center clinical trial that provides the efficacy that people have been looking for for years," Rascol said. However, he also cautioned: "The efficacy of the treatment of Parkinson's disease is limited due to the difficulty of some GLP-1 drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier, and it is important to pay attention to the side effects in clinical application." Therefore, more tests are needed to confirm the new drug research. ”
