Carnival Cruise passenger dies after scooter plunges off Bahamas pier
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An elderly cruise passenger died after her mobility scooter plunged off a pier in the Bahamas — marking the third death at Carnival Cruise Line’s Celebration Key in less than a year since it opened.
The 88-year-old American tourist lost control of her scooter at around 12 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Nassau Guardian, the newspaper of record in the Bahamas.
A Carnival spokesperson confirmed the incident to Fox News Digital.

A passenger told local outlet WSVN that the woman “had a heart attack.”
“[She] went off with the scooter, and banged her head pretty bad,” Edward Egersheim told the outlet. “And then her husband tried to do what he could, and he ended up hurting himself as well.”
This is the third death to happen at Celebration Key since it opened last year.
The woman was transported to the ship’s medical facility for treatment and was pronounced dead, per the Nassau Guardian.

Microsoft researchers find AI models and agents can’t handle long-running tasks
Companies exploring automated workflows would be well advised to keep their AI agents on a short leash.
Microsoft researchers have found that even the priciest frontier models introduce errors in long workflows, the very thing for which AI software has been pitched.
Anthropic, for example, says, “Claude Cowork handles tasks autonomously. Give it a goal and Claude works on your computer, local files, and applications to return a finished deliverable.”
Redmond promotes similar usage, touting Microsoft 365 Copilot’s ability to “Tackle complex, multistep research across your work data and the web.”
The Windows maker’s scientists aren’t so sure about that.
Philippe Laban, Tobias Schnabel, and Jennifer Neville from Microsoft Research set out to study what happens when large language models (LLMs) are asked to complete multistep tasks.
They recently published their findings in a preprint paper with a spoiler title: “LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate.”
To test how LLMs handle long-running knowledge work tasks, the researchers devised a benchmark called DELEGATE-52.
It simulates multistep workflows across 52 professional domains, such as writing code, crystallography, and music notation. It is a more taxing test than sorting a spreadsheet, a task that should be table stakes for any aspiring workflow agent.
In the accounting domain, for example, the challenge involves a seed document that represents the accounting ledger of Hack Club, a nonprofit organization. The model is asked to split the seed document into separate category-based files and then to merge these chronologically back into a single file.
“Our findings show that current LLMs introduce substantial errors when editing work documents, with frontier models (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude 4.6 Opus, and GPT 5.4) losing on average 25 percent of document content over 20 delegated interactions, and an average degradation across all models of 50 percent,” the authors report.
The authors found that LLMs did better on programming tasks and worse on natural language tasks.
To be considered “ready” for a given work domain, the researchers set the bar at 98 percent or higher after 20 interactions. They only found one domain qualified: Python programming. For every other domain, the authors found LLMs fell short of “ready.”
“A per-domain breakdown of end-of-simulation scores reveals that models are not ready for delegated workflows in the vast majority of domains, with models severely corrupting documents (at least -20 percent degradation) in 80 percent of our simulated conditions,” the authors state.
The study found that “catastrophic corruption,” meaning a benchmark score of 80 percent or less, occurred in more than 80 percent of model/domain combinations. The best performing model, Google Gemini 3.1 Pro, was ready for only 11 of 52 domains.
In weaker models, degradation took the form of content deletion; in frontier models, it took the form of content corruption.
And when errors occurred, they tended to happen all at once, resulting in the loss of 10 to 30 points in a single round-trip interaction, rather than accumulating over the entire test run.
“The stronger models (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude 4.6, GPT 5.4) aren’t avoiding small errors better, they delay critical failures to later rounds and experience them in fewer interactions,” the researchers observe in their paper.
The Microsoft authors went on to test how agents – LLMs given access to file reading, writing, and code execution through a basic harness – handle the DELEGATE-52 benchmark.
Tools in this instance didn’t help. “The four tested models perform worse when operated agentically with tools than without, incurring an average additional degradation of 6 percent by the end of simulation,” the authors observe, in reference to GPT-5.4, 5.2, 5.1, and 4.1.
Given that task delegation is the whole point of an AI agent – if you wanted to do it yourself, you wouldn’t have tried to automate the task – this casts a bit of a shadow on the AI hype train.
An intern who corrupted a quarter of a document over a long workflow would be shown the door. Yet companies are showing AI the money: according to Deloitte, organizations are spending an average of 36 percent of their digital budgets on AI automation.
That might make sense if arming LLMs with the tools to function as full-blown agents meant less document degradation. But that’s not the case. The authors found “using a basic agentic harness does not improve the performance of LLMs” with regard to the DELEGATE-52 test and that LLM performance after two interactions doesn’t reflect how models perform after 20, which they argue underscores the need for long-horizon evaluation.
“Current LLMs are ready for delegated workflows in some domains such as Python coding, but not in other less common domains,” the authors conclude. “In general, users still need to closely monitor LLM systems as they operate and complete tasks on their behalf.”
Yet they also note that LLMs have been getting better, pointing to the performance of OpenAI’s GPT model family, which has seen its benchmark performance increase over 16 months from 14.7 percent to 71.5 percent. ®

Trump eyes Venezuela as 51st state, citing $40 trillion in oil wealth
Venezuela resumes commercial ties with US
Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan reports live from Caracas, discussing Venezuela’s economic reopening and renewed commercial ties with the U.S. This includes a surge in oil exports, reaching a seven-year high of 1.23 million barrels per day. The move follows the U.S. capture of Nicolas Maduro, with American Airlines resuming direct flights to Miami. Experts weigh in on the political and economic implications for both countries.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump is eyeing oil-rich Venezuela as a potential 51st state as officials continue to court oil companies for investments in the South American country following the U.S. intervention that removed President Nicolas Maduro from power.
Trump said in a phone call with Fox News that he is motivated by the estimated $40 trillion value of oil in Venezuela, adding that he is popular with the country’s citizens.
“Venezuela loves Trump,” Trump said.
After U.S. military officials captured Maduro in January, whom the Justice Department indicted on narco-terrorism charges, Trump said the United States would “run” the country during its transitional period and work with Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez.

In January, Trump pledged to have the U.S. oil industry “up and and running” again in Venezuela. Major energy companies like Exxon and Conoco were expelled from the country nearly 20 years ago when former President Hugo Chavez nationalized the oil industry, leaving Chevron as the only U.S. major oil company with investments in Venezuela.
For months, cabinet officials and White House energy advisers have held meetings with top oil executives from major companies, urging them to invest in Venezuela.
With the Trump administration now managing Venezuela’s oil sector, exports in April reached more than 1 million barrels per day, the highest level since 2018.
“As the President has said, relations between Venezuela and the United States have been extraordinary. Oil is starting to flow, and large amounts of money, unseen for many years, will soon be helping the great people of Venezuela,” a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “Only President Trump can be credited for the revitalization of this newfound partnership – and the best is yet to come!”
The spokesperson did not provide details about what Trump’s plan to make Venezuela a part of the United States would look like.
Trump’s interest in Venezuela’s oil has been known since Maduro’s ousting. He has argued that securing Venezuela’s oil supplies would help stabilize the country’s economy, a step he deems crucial to establishing a stable democracy.

But in March Trump posted on Truth Social suggesting that Venezuela would instead become a state.
“Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?” Trump posted.
For Trump to annex Venezuela and make it a state, it would require congressional approval and consent from Venezuela, which Rodriguez said would never happen.

“That would never have been considered, because if there is one thing we Venezuelan men and women have, it is that we love our independence process, we love our heroes and heroines of independence,” Rodriguez told reporters on Monday when asked about Trump’s eyes on Venezuela.

Sharon Tate murder site mansion in Beverly Hills rents for $247K a month
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Beverly Hills mansion built on the site of one of the most notorious murder scenes in American history is back on the market — this time as a luxury rental asking nearly $250,000 a month.
The property, known as Villa Andalusia, had previously been listed for sale at $50 million but failed to secure a buyer. It is now being offered for $247,500 per month, according to Realtor.com.
While the listing focuses on luxury, highlighting sweeping views, tropical landscaping and resort-style amenities, it leaves out the history that made the address one of the most infamous in the country.
The 21,000-square-foot home sits on the land where actress Sharon Tate, who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant, was killed in August 1969 by followers of cult leader Charles Manson.

Tate was staying at the home while her husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski, was abroad. In the early morning hours, members of the Manson Family entered the property and carried out a brutal attack.
Tate was murdered along with celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring, coffee heiress Abigail Folger and writer Wojciech Frykowski. Another victim, Steven Parent, was shot and killed in the driveway.

The killings were part of a two-night spree ordered by Manson that left seven people dead and stunned the nation. The following night, Manson’s followers killed Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, leaving messages written in blood at the scene.
Authorities said the violence was intended to spark chaos and fear — part of Manson’s belief in an impending race war he referred to as “Helter Skelter.”

The original home tied to the murders was eventually demolished. Decades later, television producer Jeff Franklin purchased the land for $6 million and built a new estate, which was completed in 2006, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Franklin lived there for years and has previously downplayed the property’s past, calling it “ancient history” and saying it had no impact on him, according to the outlet.
Today, the estate is designed as a luxury compound. It includes nine bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, along with a theater, poker room, multiple bars and several aquariums, including one built into a dining area.
Outside, the 3.6-acre grounds feature two pools connected by a lazy river, multiple waterfalls, hot tubs, a waterslide, a swim-up bar and a koi pond. A large motor court can accommodate dozens of vehicles.

Despite those features, the home struggled to sell at its previous asking price, raising questions about whether its dark history continues to weigh on potential buyers.
The renewed attention also comes as the Manson murders remain in the public eye.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently blocked the parole of Patricia Krenwinkel, one of Manson’s followers who took part in the killings, saying she still poses “an unreasonable danger to society.”
Krenwinkel, now 77, has spent decades in prison. While officials noted her rehabilitation efforts, Newsom said she still lacks full understanding of her role in the crimes.
