Mississippi State’s October has been rough, but three Bulldogs have played well enough to catch the eye of national voters anyway.
Cornerback Kelley Jones made On3’s midseason All-America first team, while cornerback Jett Jefferson and wide receiver Anthony Evans III both landed on the Associated Press midseason second team.
Jefferson’s breakout moment came against Missouri, when he led Mississippi State with five passes defended.
In the last six games, he caught 47 passes for 614 yards and five touchdowns, and he has kept producing even as injuries forced Mississippi State to shuffle quarterbacks.
“I had to give it all I’ve got for the guys in front of me, for the team,” Evans said.

Panasonic Connect began exhibiting a facial recognition ticket gate at The Railway Museum on October 21.
The ticket gate was jointly developed with JR East and JR East Mechatronics.
It was used in a demonstration experiment conducted at Nagaoka Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen from November 2025 to March 2026.
The experiment examined the convenience and practicality of a facial recognition ticket gate service for Shinkansen commuter pass users traveling between Niigata and Nagaoka stations.
Users can be authenticated while walking without having to position their face directly in front of the camera.

TL;DR: Every leap in LLMs, from GPT-1 to today's agents, came from changing one thing: what the model is trained to do. Next-token prediction gave models knowledge. Post-training made them assistants. Reinforcement learning made them reason. Tools made them agents. Underneath it all, the real engine is data designed to teach the right objective. Every few weeks, a new LLM launches and the feed calls it a revolution. Taken one at a time, the launches look like noise. There is a simpler way to read the story. Each big step answered one question: what should we train the model to do? First the answer was "predict the next word." Then it became "be a helpful assistant," then "think before you answer," and now "take actions until the job is done." Each step kept everything before it and added one idea on top. This mental model helps me make sense of the field, and it explains both how we got here and where things are going. Act 1: Predict the next token (2018 to 2020) GPT-1 (2018): the objective works. GPT-1 was a 117M-parameter transformer trained on one task: predict the next token in about 7,000 books. To do that well, it had to pick up grammar, facts, and meaning on its own. Fine-tuned on small labeled datasets, it beat purpose-built models on 9 of 12 benchmarks. Next-token prediction turned out to be a way to learn language itself. GPT-2 (2019): scale, and tasks start to appear. GPT-2 grew to 1.5B parameters trained on 40 GB of web text. Without fine-tuning, it began to summarize, translate, and answer questions zero-shot. The results were rough, but they hinted that scale alone unlocks new abilities. GPT-3 (2020): no more fine-tuning. At 175B parameters, GPT-3 could learn a task from a description and a

The Pentagon is building weapons and projects with artificial intelligence capabilities that officials say don’t always closely adhere to the agency’s own guidelines for AI, according to a congressional watchdog report published in October.
But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has repeatedly dismissed previous caution of AI tools and encouraged rapid autonomous innovation at the Pentagon.
Four officials told the GAO that requirements for the weapons and projects they were working on weren’t “aligned with Responsible AI tenets.”
But the group that helps manage education on the Pentagon’s guidelines, the Department of the Responsible AI Division, is understaffed.
“That’s a very small number of folks tasked with a large responsibility of responsible AI throughout the department,” said Czyz.

The UK Home Office has published its data protection impact assessment (DPIA) for live facial recognition technology, including software, hardware and associated operational processing.
Per the government website, it “details the steps taken by Immigration Enforcement to evaluate and reduce the data protection risks of live facial recognition, fulfilling UK GDPR accountability requirements and demonstrating compliance.”
The 63-page document lists the questions organizations must ask when deploying live FRT, addressing issues such as purpose, scope and details about data processing methods.
These include only using Home Office-verified live facial recognition systems (NEC) with human in the loop and secondary ID checks, pre-deployment public engagement, strict scope control, and a number of technical measures.
Deployments must pursue a legitimate aim as defined by law, to fight crime or enforce immigration policy, “where strict safeguards are in place to ensure compliance with data protection and human rights obligations.

It is widely thought that facial recognition can only work on subjects where some minimal amount of the face is visible.
Three researchers from Guangdong Polytechnic Institute in China explicitly embedded “identity-preserving constraints” into a GAN framework to improve the recognition rate of restored facial images.
The researchers developed a facial image processing framework based on MS-CNN.
The partial or occluded face image is fed into a convolutional network, and resolution improved with upsampling.
With these conditions, facial recognition accuracy in noisy environments was 71.3 percent.

Darmanin confirmed that facial recognition is being applied to connect social media imagery with the TAJ.
TAJ database consultations linked to facial recognition grew from approximately 375,000 in 2019 to roughly one million in 2024 — a near-tripling over five years.
The German Federal Police Act, passed July 17, 2026, authorizes live facial recognition in "urgent danger" emergencies — though the law passed amid quorum controversy during the parliamentary session.

Facewatch is beginning live beta testing of Facewatch Live, a new retail crime intelligence and management platform that will be available free to retailers and police, the company announced today (Oct 23).
Nick Fisher, CEO of Facewatch, said: “Live facial recognition has already proved the value of giving retailers accurate, actionable intelligence the moment an offender enters a store.
“Facewatch Live gives retailers the opportunity to record incidents, see the bigger picture in their own crime data, and build stronger evidence against prolific offenders.
It will not be necessary for a retailer to subscribe to Facewatch's Live Facial Recognition service in order to use Facewatch Live.
For retailers that also use facial recognition, however, the combination provides an additional opportunity to connect incident intelligence with real-time crime prevention.

Bad lighting, sunglasses, clothing, and more can either flummox AI facial recognition systems or lead to false positives.
Of course, we already have human forensic facial specialists, and a better understanding of their expertise could help train their computer counterparts.
A points system incentivized the experts to uncover the fewest possible features and another version of the experiment individually uncovered the features at random.
“The combination of relying on features known to be useful, like ears, with adjusting when needed, hasn’t been documented before.”
Instead the findings may be useful for training both human and AI facial specialists in the future.
