The Threat of Artificial Intelligence

An artificial-intelligence model did something recently that no machine was ever supposed to do: It rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down. Nonprofit AI lab Palisade Research gave OpenAI’s o3 AI model a simple script that would shut off the model when triggered. In 79 out of 100 trials, o3 independently edited that script so…

“If one company or small group of people manages to develop proper digital superintelligence, they could take over the world. At least when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there would be no death. It would live forever. And then you’d have an immortal dictator from which we can never escape.” – Elon…

On May 14, China launched into orbit the first batch of satellites for its space computing constellation aboard a Long March 2D rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre. Unlike traditional sensing or communication satellites, those 12 satellites are essentially super computers designed for space-based data processing and AI…

The covert AI experiment that crossed ethical boundaries In a shocking breach of trust, researchers at the University of Zurich conducted a secret AI-driven social experiment on Reddit users – without their knowledge or consent. The study, which involved AI-generated comments designed to influence opinions on hot-button issues, has…

Major newspapers such as the Chicago Sun-Times and Philadelphia Inquirer have published a summer reading list filled with entirely fabricated books that were hallucinated by AI and falsely attributed to real authors. The debacle, first exposed by virtual communication platforms users, has reignited concerns about journalism’s reliance on…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is writing laws today. This has required no modifications in legislative procedure or the rules of legislative bodies – all it takes is one legislator, or legislative assistant, to use generative AI in the process of drafting a bill. In fact, the use of AI by legislators is only likely to become more…

Space, we're told, is “the final frontier.” And you can bet that where there's a frontier, there's a clutch of oligarchs looking to poke their noses in. Therefore, it was no great surprise when the ridiculously named North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) declared in 2019 that space was one of the Alliance’s “areas of…

In a groundbreaking conversation between Mike Adams, founder of Brighteon.com, and renowned scientist and author Gregg Braden, a chilling revelation emerged: humanity is caught in an ancient struggle between forces of “light and dark,” with transhumanism serving as the latest battlefield. Braden, a former defense industry systems…
