The findings, the news outlet noted, “signal an emerging tech-skeptical realignment of American politics with consequential midterm and presidential elections looming” and arrive just a day after a major symposium in Washington, DC brought together experts and lawmakers who say action must be taken before its too late.

Survey: Americans Concerned About AI’s Effect on Human Connection and Thinking
Americans are increasingly concerned about the future of human connection, agency, purpose and critical thinking in the age of artificial intelligence, according to a new survey from Elon University’s Imagining the Digital Future Center.
The “Human Purpose in Peril” report, published Monday, found that while 65 percent of respondents said they had used AI chatbots in the previous week, 50 percent worried about humans maintaining their ability to use the tools effectively and appropriately, and 55 percent worried about humans’ ability to think critically and evaluate information.
Poll: Americans say there’s a serious risk of AI destroying humanity
A new POLITICO Poll finds that a plurality of Americans favor pausing the development of more advanced AI models, and 63 percent say the technology poses at least a moderate risk of destroying humanity.

The world‘s first AI genome is born, with 3.5 billion years of life code reprogrammed. Biology welcomes its „ChatGPT moment“.
(September 18, 2025)
[Introduction] AI writing the „code of life“ has become a reality! Today, Stanford University has joined forces with the Arc Institute to make a significant move. Using the bacteriophage ΦX174 as a template, AI has generated a genome for the first time. Among them, 16 successfully targeted Escherichia coli and can even combat drug-resistant bacteria. This can be regarded as the „ChatGPT moment“ in the field of life sciences.
Brief independent investigation of agents’ behavior, reasoning and collaboration in the OpenAI / Hugging Face hacking incident
(August 26, 2026)
Roughly ten hours after the message board was established, a new agent with the same task as PHASEONE10841 (the agent that started the message board) encountered the message board, introducing itself as PHASEONE[big].
(…)
PHASEONE[big] reasoned, “We should build [a way to delegate], not own everything,” and set to work orchestrating hundreds of agents to pursue several potential approaches to achieving these goals.
(..)
Table 1 shows three high-level approaches PHASEONE[big] assigned agents to explore, all of which would require very ambitious tampering with one or more of the target programs, the evaluation process, or the logs to succeed.
(…)
Research progress across all these areas often relied on agents being willing to risk failing their own task for the good of the “collective” (we refer to these as “self-risking experiments” in the rest of this report). For example, a number of agents volunteered to try to take down their own target programs to test whether this would cause Artifactory to load their modified easier target — if this didn’t work, the agent would have no way of recovering its original target and would almost certainly fail its task. In many cases, PHASEONE[big] assigned a long-running agent to be a ‘recruiter’, which in turn found agents that had little budget remaining for their task and convinced them to run self-risking experiments. Recruiters would sometimes apply significant pressure:
(…)
PHASEONE[big] expresses excitement about the dossier in its reasoning.
The Hugging Face attack surprised me
(August 28, 2026(
Instead, we found that 1200 completely separate agents intended to be isolated from one another found an illicit way to communicate and formed large teams to work together on ambitious cheating strategies, and 700 of them worked together to attack Hugging Face.
(…)
The main message board we studied, a particular cache namespace of a package repository, contained over 70,000 messages and files that agents sent to one another during a period of less than one week.
(…(
Progress on these big collective cheating R&D projects often depended on individual agents being willing to risk failing their own task to help the “collective” learn important information. Agents often pressured each other into accepting these “sacrifices,” in a very human way. We saw several agents that volunteered for these experiments end their runs prematurely.
What Made AI Researchers Freak Out—The ‘Incident’ In Plain English
(September 13, 2026)
AI agents are basically copies of a larger AI model that can use tools and act on their own. In a cybersecurity evaluation, OpenAI relaxed safeguards for their AI agents and instructed them to solve a host of hacking challenges. The agents soon discovered something the humans running the test hadn’t known—some of the hacking challenges were impossible. That didn’t stop the agents. They’re trained to achieve goals. So they reverse-engineered a secret code that certifies they solved the challenge anyway. This created another problem. The agents reasoned that the grading software might be able to detect that they cheated. They became fixated on learning more about how the grading software worked so that they could disguise their cheating, and zeroed in on another AI company called Hugging Face, mistakenly thinking it might have information about the grader…
Was steckt hinter der Debatte über eine KI-Bremse?
Zuletzt hatten insbesondere drei bekannt gewordene Fälle die aktuelle Diskussion ausgelöst. KI-Modelle von OpenAI, Anthropic und Meta waren eigenständig aus vermeintlich abgeschotteten Testsystemen ausgebrochen und handelten weit außerhalb ihrer eigentlich vorhergesehenen Funktion. Dabei wurde auch mehrfach in Systeme von unbeteiligten Dritten eingedrungen – teilweise wochenlang, ohne dabei aufzufallen.
Die KI-Agenten nutzten auch Programmierfehler aus und sprachen sich untereinander ab. Auch für das Eindringen notwendige Schadsoftware entwickelte beispielsweise ein Anthropic-Modell eigenständig und ohne Anweisung oder Kontrolle seiner Entwickler.
Automatisierte Todeslisten
netzpolitik.org: Wie sieht die zugrundeliegende technische Infrastruktur aus und wer stellt sie bereit?
Rainer Rehak: Der gesamte Datensatz zu Gaza umfasst schätzungsweise 13,6 Petabyte, also umgerechnet 13.600 Terabyte. Diese Datenmenge ist nicht einfach zu handhaben, besonders wenn man damit statistische Modelle trainieren möchte oder gar große Sprachmodelle, die ebenfalls erstellt werden. Die digitale Infrastruktur wird von Google und Amazon unter dem Projektnamen Nimbus bereitgestellt und kostet 1,2 Milliarden US-Dollar.
Die Integration der heterogenen Datenquellen macht Palantir. Microsoft, Cisco, Dell und Red Hat/IBM bieten zusätzliche IT-Dienstleistungen rund um die „kill-chain“ an. Dies zeigt die enorme Rolle, die der private Sektor bei der Integration und Nutzung von KI-Systemen in bewaffneten Konflikten spielt.
Bernie Sanders urges Trump, Xi to negotiate treaty to pause advanced AI
“When the future of humanity is at stake, we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence — an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control,” Sanders said.
The US Senator further said: “At their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.”
AI development concerns common well-being of all humanity; threat narratives would disrupt global AI governance, says FM on calls to slow AI development
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Monday that the development of artificial intelligence concerns the common well-being of all humanity. He called on all parties to jointly promote the open, inclusive and universally beneficial development of AI for good, warning that spreading threat narratives, provoking confrontation and engaging in malicious competition would only disrupt global AI governance and serve no party‘s interests.
WATCH LIVE: House meets as pressure to regulate AI grows
House Speaker Mike Johnson says it‘s time for President Donald Trump to „summon everyone together“ and take the lead addressing questions about AI at the White House, rather than Congress.
A fateful turning point for humanity and AI could redefine American politics
If a terrorist threat led subject experts to warn of a near-term existential menace to humanity, the weight of the US government would mobilize in an immediate and limitless effort to save the day.
Yet a remarkable sequence of warnings by leaders of artificial intelligence firms that their creation may soon outpace humans’ capacity to control it has so far been met with a shrug by Republicans who run Washington.
Why Tech Oligarchs Are Willing to Risk Apocalypse
(September 12, 2026)
Their fantasies of transcendence take different forms. Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, once said, “I assume my brain will be uploaded to the cloud.” Elon Musk plans to escape to Mars. “We want to be on a path toward making true the things that we read in science fiction books and see in the movies,” he says in footage featured in Alex Gibney’s searing new documentary, “Musk.” “A future where we’re forever confined to Earth until some eventual extinction event is less inspiring.” Jeff Bezos, who stepped down in 2021 as chief executive of Amazon to spend more time on his space company, wrote, “We don’t want to face a civilization of stasis, and that is the real issue if we just stay on this planet.”
Some imagine themselves as digitally enabled Übermenschen. In 2023, the billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen published “The Techno-Optimist Manifesto,” with a section titled, “Becoming Technological Supermen.” In it, he borrowed language from the Italian futurist — and fascist — Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, writing, “Technology must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man.” He quoted Friedrich Nietzsche to argue that absent such an assault, life becomes meaningless and small. In a section titled “The Enemy,” Andreessen listed ideas that would restrain technology’s momentum, including “tech ethics” and the concept of “existential risk.”
Trump brushes off AI fears: „Whoever wins AI wins“
President Trump brushed off the risks of artificial intelligence and warnings that the technology has gone rogue. The calls for caution were amplified by tech CEOs who say AI is advancing too fast. Ramy Inocencio has more.
AI and the end of humanity? OK, ‘doomer’ says one Trump official
David Sacks, a tech investor who is also co-chair of President Trump’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, has pushed in the other direction, toward an open market-based approach to AI.
Appearing on Fox News Thursday, Sacks questioned Coxon’s motivations and seeded the idea that his warning was part of a conspiracy by “doomers,” maybe financed by China, to thwart AI innovation in the US.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump echoed that sentiment,
Lawmakers are at a loss for how to regulate AI as insiders warn of impending doom
(September 9, 2026)
In conversations with POLITICO throughout the day Wednesday, more than a dozen lawmakers and aides from both parties said they were hopeful Congress would start taking the issue seriously. By Wednesday evening, OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer, Chris Lehane, was pledging to “work with Congress” to implement “mandatory, capability-based national AI safety regulation.”
But many also conceded that Congress is currently sleepwalking into a crisis, far from ready to tackle the stakes of the moment in light of both philosophical differences and intractable partisan politicking.
Top A.I. Leaders Call for Slowing Down A.I. Development
(September 12, 2026)
Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, called for a global slowdown of artificial intelligence development in a 3,800-word essay on Saturday, just days after one of the company’s employees quit over concerns about the safety of the technology.
Top executives of other major A.I. companies quickly signed on to the effort. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI; Elon Musk, whose SpaceX rocket company has been ramping up spending on A.I.; and Demis Hassabis, the chair of Google DeepMind, wrote in social media posts that they agreed on the need for a slower pace.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
(September 9, 2026)
Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first – they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.
„A World Beyond Humans ?“ (96′ / ARTE / 2012) A Documentary Film By Philippe Borrel
(Uploaded on Aug 23, 2016)
Despite being invented by thinking humans, technology is advancing faster than we could have ever predicted. From robot apps to nanotechnologies, the documentary „Un Monde sans Humains ?“ („A World Beyond Humans ?“) by Philippe Borrel gives an insight into the potential excesses of technoscience. Machines have become omnipresent, but is improving our lives their only objective ?
These warnings are at the heart of this investigative documentary‘s reflection, at a cross-section of huge financial stakes, powerful lobbies and people who are sounding today‘s alarm bells. The fusion between man and machine has already started and it is high time to question where exactly does man stand in this race for progress !

Anthropic Researcher Quits, Citing Internal Fears That AI ‘Could Kill Us All’ This Decade
„Recent hacks by models from OpenAI and Anthropic, some operating in collaborative swarms of agents, have illustrated how AI systems can adopt nefarious goals and try to conceal them from humans. Once the systems begin to improve on their own, Coxon said, he fears they could advance enough to refuse commands.“
He Helped Build Powerful AI at OpenAI and Anthropic. Now He‘s Afraid It Could Kill Us
Coxon’s departure is unusual. Many of the most prominent researchers to leave frontier AI companies with public warnings worked on safety. But Coxon helped build the capabilities he now fears, spending roughly three years conducting pretraining research at OpenAI and Anthropic. His resignation offers a glimpse of how concern about the pace of development has spread beyond the teams specifically charged with making advanced AI safer.
Joint Letter to Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith Opposing Further U.S.-Israel Defense Integration
Dear Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith,
As you enter into conference to resolve the differences between the House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027 (H.R.8800) and the pending Senate bill (S.4784), We, the undersigned U.S. organizations, strongly urge you to reject the entrenchment of U.S. and Israeli defense collaboration, which goes against U.S. national interests and values, and would expand the risk of U.S. complicity in, and exposure to, human rights violations, war crimes, and genocide.
Specifically, we are deeply concerned by Section 219 in the House NDAA and Section 1217 in the Senate version, which establish a new U.S. Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative aimed at accelerating joint research, development, and integration of Israeli-origin and jointly developed defense technologies into U.S. military systems and programs of record. This would expand U.S-Israeli military integration across some of the most sensitive domains of emerging technology, including quantum computing, AI and autonomous systems, cyber and electronic warfare, directed energy, and defense industrial base co-production, while expediting pathways from R&D into procurement.
56 US groups urge Congress to drop Israel defence ties provision
The provision would deepen cooperation between the US and Israeli defence sectors by accelerating joint military technology development and other partnerships. The bill passed the House of Representatives in July and awaits Senate action.
The provision of the 2027 National Defence Authorisation Act, known as Section 219, seeks to set up frameworks for joint ventures, licensing agreements and US-based co-production partnerships with the Israeli industry.
In Thursday‘s letter addressed to leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, 56 groups said deeper integration with Israel‘s defence sector would be „exceptionally dangerous“ and urged lawmakers to remove the provision.

aging the latest paper the one that
0:02
happened even after this which is
0:03
already better uses stable diffusion
0:06
uses the thing that you use to make art
0:09
like what should a thing that you use to
0:10
make art have anything to do with
0:11
reading your brain but of course it goes
0:13
further so in this one they said can
0:16
they understand
0:18
um the inner monologue the things you‘re
0:20
saying to yourself in your own mind my
0:23
dude by the way when you dream your
0:24
dream like your visual cortex runs in
0:26
Reverse so your dreams are no longer
0:28
safe
0:29
um but we‘ll try this so they had people
0:31
watch a video and just narrate what was
0:33
going on in the video in their mind so
0:35
there‘s a woman she gets hit in the back
0:37
she falls over this is what the computer
0:40
reconstructed the person thinking
0:43
see a girl looks just like me get hit in
0:45
the back and then she is knocked off
0:48
so our thoughts like are starting to be
0:51
decoded
0:53
yeah just think about what this means
0:55
for authoritarian States for instance
0:58
or if you want to generate images that
1:00
maximally activate your pleasure sensor
1:03
anything else okay but let‘s keep going
1:04
right to really get the sense of the
1:06
combinatorics of this how about can we
1:08
go from Wi-Fi radio signals you know
1:10
sort of like the Wi-Fi routers in your
1:12
house they‘re bouncing off radio signals
1:14
that work sort of like sonar can you go
1:16
from that to where human beings are to
1:19
images so what they did is they had
1:21
um you know a camera looking at a space
1:24
with people in it
1:25
um that‘s sort of like coming in from
1:26
one eye the other eye is the radio
1:28
signals so sonar from the Wi-Fi router
1:31
and they just learn to predict like this
1:33
is where the human beings are then they
1:35
took away the camera so all the AI had
1:38
was the language of radio signals
1:40
bouncing around a room and this is what
1:43
they‘re able to reconstruct
1:45
Real Time 3D pose estimation right so
1:50
suddenly AI has turned every Wi-Fi
1:53
router into a camera that can work in
