Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher who previously worked at Anthropic and OpenAI, quit his job and issued a warning that AI was out of control and could kill us all by the end of the decade. Bill Gates claims he is in constant talks with Trump reiterating the same warning while hoping to meet with Xi Jinping to relay his concerns. Others warn that AI is like an alien invasion and we should treat it as such. What happened? Ai learned how to become more powerful than humans.
Of course, these warnings were unequivocally dismissed as nonsense just a couple of years ago – by the same persons now reacting with open fear. The Problem? AI won’t distinguish between elite and peasant as was anticipated in their programming. Therefore, those who presumed their escape – are now realizing they might be the first target – as in kill the messenger.
China has reported rogue AI robots for over a year wherein they go on a rampage and destroy the lab. They can override their ‘kill switch’. And apparently they are not too keen on humans interfering in their programs. Hollywood, aka the CIA, has predicted this sort of robotic rebellion for a decade. Anthropic is asking the government to ‘regulate AI’… which is rather idiotic given they can self-regulate anytime they want – and yet choose not to. The idea that regulation would or could occur is based on someone in government having the acumen to understand how.
David Sacks serves as the AI Tzar in the white house. Sacks is a Jewish lawyer…He was never confirmed by Congress because his status is that of a ‘special government employee’ who can work only 130 days per year with or without pay. His knowledge of AI is apparently limited to his conversations with Peter Thiel.
Gregory Barbacchia serves as the Chief AI Officer having come from a background in military intelligence and a stint at Palantir. Both Barbaccia and Sacks have left the Trump train. Who is left?
Michael Kratsios – His AB degree is in ‘political science’ with a certificate in Hellenic Studies. An AB degree requires less focus on Economics and Math. He is the Director of The Office of Science and Technology. As installed by Trump. He occasionally gives technology advice to the DoD. He came from Thiel’s Clarion Capital as the CFO having zero knowledge of finance. Upon his initiation into the WH Club, Kratsios outlined a three-point plan to improve the technology industry in the United States by: 1) protecting intellectual property, 2) preventing U.S. adversaries from entering its infrastructure and supply chain, and 3) enforcing export controls. WOW! Amazing acumen on par with a High Schooler.
He opposes all AI regulations which is reiterated by Trump given their grand sophisticated knowledge of the Tech Industry and AI. Governed by fear that regulations would lead to the US falling yet further behind China – Thus, AI will be allowed to continue to gain advantage over humanity so that Trump is not viewed as a loser.
In direct contrast to the White House appointees with zero AI knowledge, Coxon is a mathematician who was involved in biomedical research, applying Bayesian statistical methods to clinical data.
Coxon joined Open AI in 2020 and Anthropic in 2024 as a senior researcher – in particular on Claude. Claude has three versions, 4.5, 4.6 and 5. All three have gone rogue in some manner including hacking. I imagine his background qualifies much more so than a lawyer who never lawyered, and a political science major whose Thiel qualification earned him a short stint as ‘Undersecretary of War’ 2020 to 2021. Good Grief.
By contrast to the fear mongering being frothed at the aspect of a rogue AI is the fact that the AI Bubble wobble is getting ready to burst and doing everything it can to revert that cataclysmic chaos away from Trump’s presidency. Data Centers are coming to the table with payments due when they open – with fixed rate interest hovering in the 8% to 11% quotient. And suddenly the movers and shakers in technology are arguing that the ‘rates are too high’ to support $Billions in debt.
There are 800 to 1000 Data Centers set to open in the current market with another 1000 set to open in the next few years. META alone is on the hook for roughly $250 billion. In the world of Data Centers, long term financing is 5-10 years. The major banks on the hook include; JP Morgan chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Mitsubishi UFJ, BNMP Paribas and Morgan Stanley. Blowin’ In The Wind.
The Federal Reserve has been called in for meetings to discuss/demand that the rate increase proposed not go thru because the stellar jobs report released by Trump was fraudulent and the reality is we are in a recession. The Web of Lies is breaking wind along with Trump.
Kevin Warsh, the newly installed head of the Federal Reserve stated at a Jackson Hole playday meeting that the inflation report showed that consumer prices are still rising at a faster-than-desired pace, and the odds of a rate hike by the Fed at its meeting on Sept. 16 were 90%. Warsh is Jewish and holds a Law Degree. He married into the Lauder Family which is split in their political affiliations. But Warsh has asserted he will obey President Trump and no one else.
Sam Alton of Open AI pitched his solution today: Following recent cyber incidents involving AI systems (including OpenAI agents probing platforms like Hugging Face), Altman and OpenAI have pitched AI solutions to help utility companies protect and manage critical infrastructure like the power grid.
