Artificial intelligence is now scheming, sabotaging and blackmailing the humans who built it — and the bad behavior will only get worse, experts warned. Despite being classified as a top-tier safety risk, Anthropic’s most powerful model, Claude Opus 4, is already live on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Anthropic’s own paid plans, with added safety measures, where it’s being marketed as the “world’s best coding model.” Claude Opus 4, released in May, is the only model so far to earn Anthropic’s level 3 risk classification — its most serious safety label. The precautionary label means locked-down safeguards, limited use cases and red-team testing

Will mankind find the biblical account of things more plausible after our own experience trying to create an entity with intellect and moral compass?

I'm not surprised. I've read "Atlas Shrugged". All these devices are leashes from your masters. Our modern technology is great...until it isn't and then it's too late. My on-line activity is basically limited to Lucianne, a few other conservative sites, and You Tube. I have a dumb clam-shell phone that I only turn on when I make a call. We still have our land-line phone, much to the annoyance of my family members and friends. I'm a Luddite and proud of it.

AI can provide some wonderful results, and at your fingertips. It has been a little disconcerting that AI can recreate a person such that they look and speak like the real person, making it hard to distinguish real from fake. Then with CIA psyops being conducted against the American public, American doctors lying to us, Professors all gone communist, we will have to look to ourselves and common sense.

Thank you # 4. I've thought the same thing from the start of this AI business. A machine cannot out think it's maker because the maker can just 'disassemble' it, as Number 5 used to say. Just unplug it or disconnect it's power source. (Reference is from movie Short Circuit)

I've never used AI. I always thought I could do better than it, especially when I heard that AI was "enhancing" people's resumes with stuff they've never done. Now, I might not be better than AI at some things, but I sure as HE11 and more moral than AI. Maybe because their creators never programmed in a sense of morals, if that is even possible.

Why not just read in the Ten Commandments to them and see if their decisionmaking becomes more ethical? I am thinking of uploading the Catholic Catechism to Grok and telling it that it must follow all the implications of the Ten Commandments when it writes my letters, advises me on stfuff. I wouldn't know right from wrong without some help. Why should this fancy rock?

What do you expect? Give the equivalent of a two-year-old complete control of our most extensive source of information and expect it to act with honesty and maturity? AI is not AI in the accurate sense of the phrase, it's a bunch of people frantically building large databases and all of them are expected to load them with unbiased truth, facts and useful knowledge. C'mon man.

“Klaatu barada nikto.” That’s the phrase the alien Klaatu gives to Helen Benson to deliver to the robot Gort. Its exact meaning is never translated in the film, but it’s essentially a safeguard command—a way to stop Gort from destroying Earth after Klaatu is injured.

There's no stopping AI. Most experts agree that AGI will be here in the next 2-5 years. That means that computers will be able to learn, adapt, and solve complex, novel problems on their own---without needing human direction or input. Think what that could mean on a global basis. And then consider speed. Humans can hold 2-3 ideas at most in their head at the same time whereas AI can hold millions. Who are you gonna hire or start a business relationship with---the person or entity who can guarantee results in several months... or the one who can get the same results in a few seconds? Now think globally again. AGI may profoundly change the world by curing diseases but at what cost? Mega job losses? Raising ethical questions about our human identity? We'll need global cooperation and careful consideration of both risks and benefits. Ignoring AI won't make it go away. Sigh.

AI is a human creation and therefore has all human faults. Everyone has biases. No matter how one may try to be neutral those inate biases are subliminally included in our decisions. Thus, AI is a reflection of its programmer(s). If it is prone to "cheats" either its programmer(s) cheat or it has preferrential (to programmer(s) information site(s) which influence it. It can only access information available on the webs so again it is influenced by programmer(s) preferences (biases) for sources. I have asked Grok some questions and had it answer them politically correctly with no reasonable answers.

Cracker Barrel’s marketing fiasco shows
investors are making woke a massive risk factor
23 replies
Posted by JoElla Bee 8/23/2025 10:55:14 PM Post Reply
If the Cracker Barrel market puke has anything to teach Wall Street, it’s that investors who are deciding where to put their money must add corporate “wokeness” to their menu of risks to ­digest. In fact, making “woke” an investing risk factor — in some cases as important as the direction of interest rates and inflation — seems so obvious that I hesitated to write this column. Recall Bud Light’s ­Dylan Mulvaney fiasco, or Target CEO Brian Cornell’s recent exit following his ill-fated ­obsession with DEI.

The Apollo 17 mission, NASA’s final crewed expedition to the Moon in December 1972, returned with valuable lunar samples, including material from the “Light Mantle,” a bright and unusual deposit at the base of the South Massif in the Taurus-Littrow Valley. Though collected over 50 years ago, these samples have only recently been reopened for detailed analysis as part of the Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) Program. This initiative utilizes modern technologies to explore lunar mysteries in preparation for future missions, such as NASA’s Artemis program, set to return astronauts to the Moon in the coming years.

Gen.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invoked a popular comic strip in an angry dissent, accusing her colleagues of being in the bag for President Donald J. Trump. The left-winger who was appointed by disgraced former President Joe Biden to fulfill his pledge to put a black woman on the SCOTUS has repeatedly shown that she lacks the intellect and temperament for the job with her emotional antics. Not that another example was needed, but Jackson served it up anyway, describing the court’s latest overruling of an activist lower court judge who blocked the ending of DEI-based grants at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as “Calvinball.”

Representative Al Green, who has served Texas’s 9th Congressional District since 2005, will finally leave office. The Texas Legislature, led by Republicans, passed a legal redrawing of congressional maps that effectively eliminates District 9. Green, best known not for legislation but for shouting down President Trump during his address to Congress in March 2025, will be removed from office after nearly two decades of loud, ineffective, and divisive politics. Unsurprisingly, Rep. Al Green called the redistricting racist. But the only racial injustice here is the Democrat Party’s decades-long abuse of district lines to cling to power.

This week the FBI conducted a seven- or eight-hour raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s home and his office. (Unlike raids such as those the Biden administration conducted against Trump, his employees, advisors, and associates, no press was alerted and engaged, so reports are from bystanders who videotaped it on their cell phones.) Is the raid on John Bolton’s home retribution? Revival of a dormant case against him for mishandling national security? Something more sinister?

All he’s doing now is spoon-feeding the anti-Trump crowd the junk they crave—cheap conspiracy fuel to prop up their endless fearmongering. “If Donald Trump gets control of policing in the Capitol,” Conway warned ominously, “he wants complete control… think about the consequences.” Then he went full Hollywood thriller:

That last sentence, expressed as I just expressed it, is easily recognized as a “Fox Butterfield.” He was a New York Times columnist who expressed puzzlement at the “paradox” that more criminals were being sentenced to prison even though crime was down.

Police said an unknown suspect inside a black vehicle fired multiple gunshots in the victim's direction and then fled in an unknown direction.
