Today’s tech headlines capture the strange breadth of the digital age, from AI as political theater to AI as cyber-defense. Donald Trump drew fresh scrutiny after posting an AI-generated video showing him dumping Stephen Colbert into a bin around the comedian’s final “Late Show” episode, underscoring how synthetic media is now a routine weapon in public culture. At the same time, Anthropic touted the more constructive side of the technology: its Project Glasswing says it surfaced more than 10,000 serious vulnerability candidates in a month, with over 1,000 already confirmed as high or critical, highlighting AI’s growing role in securing core software. Elsewhere, digital evidence is central to a police investigation in Gwalior after a newlywed couple died by suicide within days of each other, while a viral selfie from three Army officers who survived a helicopter crash near Leh showed how quickly online images can shape the public narrative.
