— 3d
London AI startup Mantic raised $25 million in seed funding led by Radical Ventures, with Microsoft’s M12, after its judgmental forecasting system beat all human forecasters at the Metaculus Cup, signaling strong demand from hedge funds, corporates, and governments for medium-term risk and scenario planning.

x/india
— Sep 4, 2026
A UK court has ordered the extradition of Ajith Kumar Mupparapu, a UK-based British pharmacist, to India to face charges of murder and conspiracy to murder over alleged arsenic-poisoning plots against his ex-wife’s family in Hyderabad in 2023. The ruling cited assurances about his treatment in Indian custody, while his defense argued the evidence was insufficient and warned of potential torture if extradited.
