Justin Bieber addresses 'anger issues' after public confrontation with paparazzi
Print Close By Lauryn Overhultz Published June 16, 2025 Justin Bieber took to social media to discuss his healing process and "anger issues" after another confrontation with paparazzi. "People keep telling me to heal," Bieber wrote Monday. "Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow. The more focussed [sic] on myself I am. He continued: "Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately aren't you?" Bieber, 31, was spotted at the beach by paparazzi. He was seen telling the people with cameras to leave him alone. Fox News Digital reached out to Bieber's representative for comment. JUSTIN BIEBER PLEADS FOR PAPARAZZI ATTENTION TO STOP AMID GROWING CONCERN OVER POP STAR'S BEHAVIOR The "Never Say Never" singer previously pleaded with paparazzi to leave him alone in a video shared to his Instagram in April. "Look at these guys, man," Bieber repeatedly said while videoing. "This has to stop," the "One Time" singer wrote in his caption. Throughout the video, fans can hear the back-and-forth between Bieber's entourage and photographers. "Guys, can you back up please?" someone asked, before a photographer replied with, "You're filming me?" "You guys done?" another person asked the photographers. "Got your shots, go," the man added, encouraging the photographers to be on their way. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The musician was first discovered after posting covers to YouTube. His viral fame led to the release of his first album, "My World," which featured the hit singles "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl." At the time, Bieber was 16 years old. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Amid recent speculation, Bieber's team told TMZ that concerns about Bieber's mental and physical health are "exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive." His team added that he is focused on being a father to his son, Jack, and producing new music. Hailey and Justin welcomed their first child in August. Despite rumors of a rocky spot in the pop star's marriage to Hailey, a source told People in April that Bieber is having fun with his wife's support. "Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him. It's just completely untrue," the insider told the outlet. "If anything, she's sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Print Close URL

Google plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move
After all the talk about AI's godlike powers, it turns out that they still run on people, and now that critical human feedback has become Big Tech's newest battleground, Ironically, since ChatGPT took off in late 2022, artificial intelligence has consistently needed humans to improve. It's essentially the layers of human feedback that help train AI to evolve and make smarter, safer, more useful choices. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter In true tech fashion, though, AI's human-in-the-loop (HITL) pipelines are turning into a slugfest. At the heart of this showdown is Scale AI, perhaps one of the leading names in the niche. However, that premium position is now under duress with two of the biggest tech giants, Google and Meta Platforms (META) , at the center of it all. In the latest twist, Google is stepping back while Meta ramps up its role with Scale AI, with the broader narrative of Big Tech guarding its training data like gold. Bloomberg/Getty Images Since its founding in 2016, Scale AI has become one of the key players in fine-tuning the most advanced AI models. Specifically, it delivers the high-fidelity labels needed for reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). Related: Meta commits absurd money to top Google, Microsoft in critical race Simply put, it's how humans guide AI by giving feedback so it learns to make better choices. AI bellwethers like OpenAI and Google (GOOGL) have leaned on these human-verified datasets, a role OpenAI's CFO Sarah Friar recently deemed "critical" in maintaining a healthy AI ecosystem. Naturally, investors took notice. A $100 million boost from Founders Fund in 2019 helped Scale jump past billion-dollar unicorn status. From there, it was off to the races as by 2021, a $325 million Series E had the company valued at a whopping $7.3 billion. Things kicked up a gear in May last year when Accel led a $1 billion round, pushing Scale's valuation to an eye-watering $13.8 billion with Tiger Global, Index Ventures, and Nvidia all back for more. Now, Meta Platforms, one of the largest spenders on AI, has acquired a 49% stake in Scale AI for $14.3 billion, valuing the company at nearly $30 billion. The decision risks Scale's once-enviable positioning by questioning its neutrality, though, with Google, Microsoft, and others retooling their contracts to avoid giving a rival a peek at their playbooks.

Labelbox and Appen have supercharged their platforms, and leaner outfits like Hive, Alegion, and CloudFactory pitch specialized, sector-focused labeling services with tighter security and more agility. In a major development, Google, one of Scale AI's biggest backers, is looking to offload its $200 million-plus data annotation agreement with Scale AI. The search giant fears that handing proprietary training datasets to a part-owned rival could leak sensitive insights into its AI offerings, including autonomous-vehicle roadmaps. Related: Analysts unveil bold forecast for Alphabet stock despite ChatGPT threat Sources say Alphabet has already opened back-channel talks with Labelbox, Appen, and other annotation outfits to backfill its HITL needs. Those discussions, spanning tens of millions in annual spend, signal a shift toward diversification and tighter controls. The fallout isn't limited to Google, though. Microsoft, Elon Musk's xAI, and other marquee Scale clients are reportedly reevaluating contracts worth hundreds of millions, worried that Meta's inside view could tilt the competitive landscape. OpenAI pulled back from Scale months ago, and it spends far less than Google. It spreads its bets across multiple providers to avoid risking its intellectual property. Turns out, the deal has everything to do with fueling Meta's "superintelligence" push. Scale CEO Alexandr Wang will lead the charge toward Meta's elusive goal of AGI. He's taking a small crew with him. Scale will continue to run independently with Jason Droege stepping in as interim CEO.. It's important to note that Google-parent Alphabet's stock price is up 10% over the past month, yet remains down 7% year-to-date. In contrast, Meta Platform's stock price has climbed 7.5% in the last month and is up 20.4% YTD.

The Hybrid-Electric Plane Maker That Wants to Change the Way We Fly
Investors are betting billions on air travel's next big things, from all-electric air taxis to supersonic jetliners. The chief executive of aerospace startup Electra says he's looking to deliver a practical option: a hybrid-electric plane that can take off and land—quickly and quietly—on a surface no bigger than a soccer field. 'It's just an airplane,' says Marc Allen, who was a Boeing executive before becoming Electra's CEO last year. But he believes this hybrid, also known as an 'ultra short,' will answer travelers' desire to fly without traffic-clogged trips to the airport, long security lines or inconvenient connections. Helicopters are too loud and expensive, and small jets still must use traditional airports, while air taxis have limited range, he says. 'We're consolidating these existing technologies in a totally unique and novel way to finally deliver direct aviation, to make it real.'
