TOKYO (Reuters) -JX Advanced Metals will likely cut copper production by tens of thousands of metric tons in fiscal 2025 from earlier plans and unveil a roadmap to scale down smelting capacity by March, President Yoichi Hayashi said, as shrinking fees erode margins.

In June, some Chinese smelters agreed to process copper for Chilean miner Antofagasta at no charge, a record low.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board slammed the "bare-knuckle tactics" President Donald Trump has used to try and force Harvard University to change its campus antisemitism policies. On Wednesday, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled that the Trump administration has violated Harvard's First Amendment rights by conditioning university funding on adopting certain antisemitism and diversity policies. The judge restored the more than $2 billion in funding the Trump administration froze, and the order prohibits the administration from placing future restrictions on university funding. "Mr. Trump could take his legal loss as a hint," the editorial board wrote in a new. "Instead, it might make him see crimson and do worse. But when the next Democratic President uses this precedent to target campus conservatives or climate 'deniers,' the right will be singing Harvard’s current fight song."The editorial board also warned him that escalating the fight with Harvard could create significant legal repercussions. "The White House is waging a multi-front war against Harvard that has involved cutting off federal funding, banning foreign student enrollment, and threatening its tax-exempt status and even its patents," the board wrote. "Mr. Trump’s laudable aim is to clean up the antisemitic rot on campus," the editorial adds. "But its brass-knuckle tactics are doing damage to the rule of law and the First Amendment."Read the entire op-ed by clicking here.

TIFFAction cinema’s primary selling point isn’t chitchat. Nonetheless, Motor City takes the muscle-over-mouthiness template to an aggravatingly unfulfilling extreme. There are only a handful of functional lines of dialogue in Potsy Ponciroli’s film. Instead, the conceit is that this aggro revenge saga tells by showing, using endless affectations, over-the-top performances, and an eclectic score by executive producer Jack White to convey the particulars of its by-the-books story. Aside from a couple of vicious set pieces, however, this genre effort’s gimmickry results in derivative cornball melodrama. It would have benefited greatly from speaking louder while carrying a big stick.Read more at The Daily Beast.

This dramatic scene captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope looks like a fantastical tableau from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. But truth is even stranger than fiction. In reality, what appears to be a craggy, starlit mountaintop kissed by wispy clouds is actually a cosmic dust-scape being sculpted by the scorching radiation and punishing winds of massive newborn stars.Called Pismis 24, this young star cluster is home to a vibrant stellar nursery. Super-hot, infant stars - some almost 8 times the temperature of the Sun - are carving a cavity into the wall of the star-forming nebula. Dramatic spires jut from the glowing wall of gas, resisting the relentless radiation and winds. They are like fingers pointing toward the hot, young stars that have sculpted them. The fierce forces shaping and compressing these spires cause new stars to form within them.One of the closest sites of massive star birth, Pismis 24 resides in the core of the nearby Lobster Nebula, appro

President Donald Trump hosted a high-powered group of tech executives at the White House on Thursday as he showcased research on artificial intelligence and boasted of investments that companies are making around the United States.“This is taking our country to a new level,” he said at the center of a long table surrounded by what he described as “high IQ people.”It was the latest example of a delicate two-way courtship between Trump and tech leaders, several of whom attended his inauguration. Trump has exulted in the attention from some of the world’s most successful businesspeople, while the companies are eager to remain on the good side of the mercurial president. While the executives praised Trump and talked about their hopes for technological advancement, the Republican president was focused on dollar signs. He went around the table and asked executives how much they were investing in the country.Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, who sat to Trump’s right, said $600 billion. Apple’s Tim Cook said the same. Google’s Sundar Pichai said $250 billion. Elon MuskAug 25Elon Musk accuses Apple, OpenAI of stifling AI competition in antitrust lawsuitnewsJul 24Trump says he won't ‘destroy' Musk's companies by taking away subsidies“What about Microsoft?” Trump said. “That’s a big number.”CEO Satya Nadella said it was up to $80 billion per year. “Good,” Trump responded. “Very good.”Notably absent from the guest list was Elon Musk, once a close ally of Trump who was tasked with running the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk had a public breakup with Trump earlier this year. At the table instead was one of Musk’s rivals in artificial intelligence, Sam Altman of OpenAI. In another reflection of shifting loyalties in Trump’s world, the dinner included Jared Isaacman, who founded the payment processing company Shift4. Isaacman was a Musk ally chosen by Trump to lead NASA, only to have his nomination withdrawn because he was, in Trump’s words, “totally a Democrat.”The dinner was expected to be held in the Rose Garden, where Trump recently paved over the grassy lawn and set up tables, chairs and umbrellas that look strikingly similar to the outdoor setup at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. But because of inclement weather, officials decided to move the event to the White House State Dining Room.The event followed an afternoon meeting of the White House’s new Artificial Intelligence Education task force, which first lady Melania Trump chaired and some tech leaders participated in.“The robots are here. Our future is no longer science fiction,” she said,Pichai, IBM chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna and Code.org President Cameron Wilson were among those participating in the task force. The White House confirmed that the guest list for the dinner also included: Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates; Google founder Sergey Brin; OpenAI founder Greg Brockman; Oracle CEO Safra Catz; Blue Origin CEO David Limp; Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra; TIBCO Software chairman Vivek Ranadive; Palantir executive Shyam Sankar; Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang; and Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman. Trump’s outreach to top tech executives has occasionally been divisive within the Republican Party.One of Trump’s closest allies in Congress, Sen. Josh Hawley, delivered a sharp criticism of the tech industry during a speech at a conservative conference in Washington on Thursday morning. He criticized the lack of regulation around artificial intelligence and singled out Meta and ChatGPT. “The government should inspect all of these frontier AI systems so we can better understand what the tech titans plan to build and destroy,” the Missouri senator said.Trump has embraced AI-created imagery and frequently shares it online, despite his complaints earlier in the week about the technology being used to create misleading videos. Late Wednesday night, he posted a string of AI-generated memes and videos, such as one depicting him interacting with the man pictured in the Cracker Barrel logo, one showing California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff with an extremely elongated neck, and one with Trump’s face superimposed on a pole vaulter as it appears to leap over a Cracker Barrel banner.On Tuesday, Trump said a video showing items being thrown out of an upstairs window of the White House must have been created by AI, despite his team seeming to have confirmed the video’s veracity hours earlier. Trump then said, “If something happens that’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI.”The first lady, at her event Thursday, likewise highlighted both the potential and peril of AI. “As leaders and parents, we must manage AI’s growth responsibly,” she said, calling for both action and caution. “During this primitive stage, it is our duty to treat AI as we would our own children — empowering, but with watchful guidance.”Last month, the first lady launched a nationwide contest for students in grades K-12 to use AI to complete a project or address a community challenge. The project was aimed at showing the benefits of AI, but the first lady has also highlighted its drawbacks.Melania Trump lobbied Congress this year to pass legislation that imposes penalties for online sexual exploitation using imagery that is real or an AI-generated deepfake.The president signed the “Take It Down Act” in May.
