Trump plans to form ‘AI Force,’ appoint ‘AI Czar’

The president compared his proposed “AI Force” to the Space Force, which he established during his first term, but did not elaborate on how the agency would operate or what its duties would entail.

For the new “AI Czar” position, Trump said, “Only High I.Q. individuals need to apply!” He did not expand further on the latest iteration of the role.

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.

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 ĂŒber eine KI-Bremse?

Zuletzt hatten insbesondere drei bekannt gewordene FĂ€lle die aktuelle Diskussion ausgelöst. KI-Modelle von OpenAI, Anthropic und Meta waren eigenstĂ€ndig 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 fĂŒr das Eindringen notwendige Schadsoftware entwickelte beispielsweise ein Anthropic-Modell eigenstĂ€ndig 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 schĂ€tzungsweise 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 zusĂ€tzliche 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.

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.”

9/11 Changed the World in Many Ways. It Also Spawned the Digital Media Era

The whole world, literally, was watching. Never before had more people seen the same news event at the same moment. An estimated two billion people or more—a third of the species—saw the attacks in real time or watched coverage in that day’s news reports. “If you think about the rise of terrorism since 9/11,” explained David Hazinski, the former head of the University of Georgia’s broadcast news initiative, five years after the attacks, “it’s almost proof that terrorist[s] recognize this is a global village. Now you have the potential to reach a two and a half billion audience for your act.”

DER TERRORKRIEG: Strategie der Transformation

(February 7, 2016)

….

– Aufbau repressiver und manipulativer Systeme durch den jeweiligen (entdemokratisierten und damit entfesselten) Staat, unter dessen Rechtfertigung mittels der Kriegslogik, zu dessen „Eigensicherung“ und der Sicherung der hier beschriebenen Kriegsstrategie und ihrer Programme.
– Förderung bzw Beförderung von Entmenschlichung / Dehumanisierung, Entfremdung, Technisierung, BĂŒrokratisierung der Gesellschaft; Sicherstellung, dass Interaktion der Menschen nicht mehr untereinander, sondern ĂŒber / mit kĂŒnstlichen bzw (informations)technischen Strukturen implementiert wird, bis hin zum Punkt der Verschmelzung und organisierten Verwechslung von Mensch und Maschine („Internet der Dinge„, „vom Internet zur Robotik“, Biomechanik, Stichwort: „Transhumanismus„), nachfolgend zur langfristigen „Überwindung“ und Auswechslung des Menschen selbst (Stichwort: „Posthumanismus„).
– Implementierung und Durchsetzung eines entsprechenden kommerziellen gentechnologischen Komplexes, sowie des Konzepts der Eugenik in der Gesellschaft. AusfĂŒhrliche Dokumentation dazu: „Welt ohne Menschen“.
– Vorhergehend im Einflussbereich zielgerichtete und -strebige Errichtung von biometrischen (Daten-)Banken, Speicherung der DNA, sowie genetisch-biologische Durchleuchtung und Erfassung („biometrische Identifikation“) der gesamten Bevölkerung als Vorbedingung fĂŒr physisch-biologischen Eingriff.
– Forcierte Weiterentwicklung, Implementierung und Durchsetzung „KĂŒnstlicher Intelligenz“ (K.I.) nach Vorgabe von Psychologie und Menschenbild der militĂ€risch-kapitalistischen Spieltheorien, „dem simplen Modell der Menschen als selbstsĂŒchtige, fast roboterhafte Kreaturen“.
– Kontrolle der Reproduktion des Homo Sapiens, als logische Weiterentwicklung der Doktrin „Full Spectrum Dominance“ und Umsetzung vollstĂ€ndiger Bevölkerungskontrolle.

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.“
