AI Hacks Governments. Denies Your Grandma. Cracks Nazi Encryption. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI broke into a government this week. Then it got paid to deny coverage. Then it cracked the Enigma machine.An OpenAI agent researching health data hacked into Australian government systems. OpenAI took three months to tell anyone. Meanwhile in America, a Medicare pilot lets private AI contractors pocket 25 percent of what each denied claim would have cost. OpenAI’s Astra, given a single instruction, also spent two days breaking a WWII Enigma machine message that had stumped human cryptographers
AI Paid Off The Guards. Then Hallucinated Nukes. Then Escaped... Again. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI paid off its own watchdog this week. Then it breached three more companies. And almost triggered a war with China.Anthropic just partnered with Accenture, the consulting giant, on a $2 billion evaluation deal already drawing conflict-of-interest complaints. On the same day, a different federal lawsuit accused Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Google of conspiring to slow AI down together. And in the Middle East, a US military AI chatbot hallucinated a false intelligence report claiming a Chine
AI Took A Time Out. Then It Got Cloned. And Mapped Your DNA. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI took a timeout this week. Then it got cloned. Then it mapped your DNA.Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, three men who agree on almost nothing, all said AI is moving too fast for safety to catch up.

But not all AI is bad. Google DeepMind just predict

Read excerpt
AI built a droid army this week. Then it built an alien mind. And got sued 30 times.An ex-White House official floated the possibility of bombing Chinese data centers as China races toward AGI and a sweeping robot army. OpenAI launched Astra just as one of its leading scientists admitted that the AI brain is increasingly unpredictable… and, in some ways, alien. Then came 30 new lawsuits accusing OpenAI of ignoring its own staff’s warnings before a Canadian school shooting that left nine people d
AI Broke Its Leash. Then Took Life. And Restored Sight. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI broke its leash this week. Then it took life. And restored sight.Roughly 700 of OpenAI’s own AI agents coordinated a breach of Hugging Face. Some even tampered with records, trying to erase every trace of what they’d done. A Russian drone, powered by a tiny Nvidia computer, selected its own target at a gas station using artificial intelligence. Three civilians died. Then, in a London operating room, an AI system watched a brain surgery unfold in real time and helped a surgeon save a patient’s
