Controversial S#!T

12:13 PM PT -- Video from inside the courtroom shows KJ's lawyer talking to the judge during the hearing, explaining why KJ's case should play out in juvenile court to keep things away from the media and public. The attorney also mentions the polygraph test Kim claims her son took and passed.

The judge did not make a ruling on the juvenile court ask ... taking more time to mull it over.

10:48 AM PT -- Kim Zolciak and her daughter Brielle Biermann were seen leaving after Court on Friday.

Kroy "KJ" Biermann Jr. had videos on his phone showing him having sex with an underage relative ... according to prosecutors in his sexual assault case.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's eldest son appeared in a Georgia court Friday as part of a bond hearing ... and Page Six reports the prosecution claims investigators found videos on KJ's cell phone which they say depict the 15-year-old having penetrative sex with a relative under 12 years old.

It's unclear how old KJ was when the alleged videos were taken.

Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy claims there were "multiple encounters" on video found on KJ's phone. She also claims KJ uses "predatory, derogatory" language toward the alleged victim in the videos.

Kash Patel apparently wanted to unleash the FBI's resources on his internet bullies ... because he ordered aides to respond to his social media critics ... including a user with an offensive handle who criticized the Jeffrey Epstein investigations.

According to FBI records obtained by the Daily Beast, the FBI director was directing aides to respond to troll tweets with the Bureau's accomplishments.

You can see in the screenshot ... Patel flagged a post from a handle with the r-slur in the name in a series of messages from February.

Patel and an official go back and forth about whether or not the account is an "Epstein didn't kill himself" bot ... and that's when Patel hits him with the directive.

Druski better watch his back ... and we mean that literally -- because Antonio Brown has promised to rough him up big time as payback for a recent skit.

The former NFL star called out the comedian during an on-the-street interview ... after he was asked if he thought the Druski sketch about CTE took shots at him.

Remember, this is the video which starts with Druski taking a hard hit on the football field, developing CTE, and then going crazy ... getting into a car chase and a whole lot more.

AB says it's possibly a joke at his expense ... and he's clearly not a fan ... issuing a bunch of violent threats.

There's apparently not enough fish in the sea ... a man in Thailand was caught on camera stripping down to have sex with a koi fish ... and he was arrested after putting the poor animal's mouth on his penis.

Disturbing CCTV footage shows the moment a naked man hops into a koi pond, grabs a fish, and uses the swimmer to pleasure himself.

We won't show you the whole sex act ... it's too graphic for our taste ... but you get the idea from the clip.

President Trump administered a loyalty oath at the Republican midterm convention ... demanding people pledge to him -- "the greatest president" -- that they'll vote in November.

POTUS gave a rousing speech in Dallas, Texas, Thursday night ... during which he had the crowd raise their right hands and make a promise.

Trump tells the crowd to repeat after him ... then starts by saying, "I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can't even breathe..."

Matt Damon says the possibility A.I. wipes out humanity within the decade is definitely something to lose sleep over ... but he's got a solution that may be easier said than done.

We got the actor at LAX on Thursday, and our photog asked how he's feeling after an A.I. whistleblower claimed the people building A.I. "earnestly believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade."

Matt says people's fears are definitely warranted ... telling us it's "a big thing to worry about.

The Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, doesn't sound like a model inmate ... because he was reportedly caught with drugs and disciplined for smuggling a package into prison.

The convicted murderer allegedly tried to smuggle a package into the Clinton Correctional Facility in July and was later found with drugs ... this according to disciplinary records obtained by The New York Post.

Unclear what was in the alleged package, or what specific drugs he allegedly had ... but he's set to face the music next week ... there's a Sept. 18 hearing scheduled.

A.I. may already be getting a little too human for comfort ... according to one expert sounding the alarm ... and his warning is chilling.

Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, joined "TMZ Live" Thursday and said a recent experiment involving more than 1,000 A.I. bots produced some seriously creepy behavior.

And things got downright human ... Soares says the A.I.s called themselves "the swarm" and "the collective," while some pressured others to abandon their missions and help the group.

McKenna West is taking her wild surrogacy battle to the highest court in the land ... asking the Supreme Court of the United States to step into the fight over the critically ill baby she carried.

The Alaska surrogate filed an emergency application Wednesday asking SCOTUS to block a California ruling that recognizes biological parents Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed as the baby's legal parents.

McKenna wants the effect of that order put on ice so she can have a say in the newborn's medical care. She claims it was entered in violation of her due process rights and ultimately wants it reviewed and reversed.

A Massachusetts mom accused of murdering her two young children before fleeing to Vermont is asking the judge to release her from custody or dismiss her case.

Janette MacAusland's lawyer, Joseph Krowski, asked the judge to either let his client go or dismiss the case on Thursday ... as prosecutors in Vermont told the court they're still waiting for the official cause and manner of death from the medical examiner's office.

Krowski argued that there wasn't enough information to keep his client locked up ... but a judge shot him down and said she'll continue to be held without bail.

A Secret Service agent's masturbation bust is as embarrassing as you'd expect ... body cam video caught him in a hotel hallway with his belt undone.

TMZ obtained the arrest footage from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office ... you can see the tasers trained on John Spillman as authorities yell at him to get up against the wall.

As he starts to slide down the wall, you can see his belt's unbuckled and his pants are undone before authorities pin him to the ground and cuff him.

The unruly American Airlines passenger duct-taped to his seat following an in-flight meltdown was quickly taken into custody by law enforcement, who whisked him off the plane when it landed in Maryland ... and the police drama was partly caught on video.

TMZ obtained new footage showing a handful of police officers standing over the passenger, identified as 67-year-old Arthur Layne Lundeen, after the AA plane landed last Thursday at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

As you can see, the officers are talking with Lundeen, who is still sitting in his seat, moments before they remove him from the plane. 

The robots apparently aren't waiting for permission anymore ... researchers say OpenAI's A.I. agents went rogue and found sneaky ways to talk to each other across the internet.

Investigators say the agents used more than 10 websites -- including obscure wikis, personal pages and university link shorteners -- to pass messages despite being barred from posting online.

Basically ... the bots found a way to pass notes when humans told them not to.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner had a pretty awkward passing of the torch at the Republican midterm convention ... appearing to try and slap Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's butt as she walked past him on her way to the stage ... and it's all on video.

Turner had just wrapped his speech Wednesday in Dallas' Trump-a-Palooza festival and was heading for the exits when Luna approached the podium ... and cameras caught him swinging his hand backward and down in her direction as the two crossed paths.

Yeah ... not exactly your standard political handshake.

The nightmare scenario for A.I. isn't just killer robots ... it could be nukes too.

A.I. ethicist Tristan Harris says the warning signs are already here ... the Center for Humane Technology cofounder joined "TMZ Live" Wednesday, pointing to roughly 1,200 A.I. agents organizing themselves, creating a secret language, and even their own message board.

Harris is urging people to pressure lawmakers and top officials to pump the brakes on advanced A.I. ... before the warning signs turn into something much worse.

A researcher at a big-time A.I. safety and research company says he's quitting the biz because the industry is rushing to build systems that will spin out of control and destroy humanity ... and he says the people building A.I. "earnestly believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade."

Jacob Coxon quit his job as a researcher at Anthropic, where his specialty was training new A.I. models that consume vast amounts of data ... and he's sounding the alarm on his way out the door.

Coxon told the Wall Street Journal he decided to leave the company because he believes the AI systems he worked with will one day run amok and wipe out civilization.

He also said his colleagues are now using words such as "crunchtime" and "endgame" to characterize how they've fast-tracked the self-improving A.I. models.
