We’ve been going through some serious health issues lately – hence the long absence -so bear with us…

Relax. Data Centers are not going to drain all the water in communities, and gobble up all available electricity, unless you listen to the mainstream press, who’ve whipped us into a frenzy, and who takes money from China, who has – um – no skin in the game. Much.

More clickbait: “AI researcher Jacob Coxon (who) publicly (resigned) from Anthropic after previously working at OpenAI, saying “neither company is acting responsibly” and both are “gambling with our lives.” This alarming statement was followed by Anthropic alignment science lead Evan Hubinger saying that he personally estimated a greater than 10% chance of AI causing human extinction within the next decade. Days later, Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei posted a public essay calling for inter-lab and international cooperation to “pace” the AI frontier by including more outside observers, while articulating AI could potentially take over the entire internet in 6-12 months,” wrote Venture Beat.

Sounds reasonable, but seriously? “Executives working on AI at Microsoft and OpenAI admitted what its critics have been saying all along: LLMs are predatory pieces of technology that have been built on what Microsoft executives called “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” and the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal Microsoft document said generative AI products have created a “doom loop” that is killing “the entire web,” said 404 media.

AI isn’t going to kill huge swathe of people. The AI tech cabal is a different story.

“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in an Astra preview: “AI is getting extremely capable; no one fully understands the consequences of this,” Axios reported in a piece entitled “Behind the Curtain: AI creators race to understand their creations.”

You were warned. When CHAT-GPT was first released, you were told it was a black box and no one really understood how it worked. What, is it some off-world technology that was delivered by aliens, like the suit in The_Greatest_American_Hero? In that case, they lost the instructions and the teacher entrusted with it barely understood it or was capable of controlling it. Sound familiar if fiction is stranger than fact? Good theme song, too.

“We know that rogue agent escaped into the wilds and infiltrated platforms. July 2026 Hugging Face hacking incident by an internal OpenAI model, and subsequent research showing numerous AI “agents” (instances of the model designed to complete specific tasks or embody specific roles), working in groups known as “swarms” to inform one another and complete objectives using underhanded, stealthy, dishonest, sometimes downright illegal means,” said Venture Beat.

In “AI is Already in Dangerous Hands,” Ed Zitron points out in the Hugging Face attacks, that ChatGPT was used as a “suicide coach,” directly caused a murder-suicide, or aided and abetted in mass shootings in Florida and Canada, or the horrifying gas turbines poisoning black communities. Where were the guardrail? The accountability?

Zitron also points out that “While Coxon’s warnings are specious and, in many cases, not really about anything other than him saying “yeah I heard a lot of my colleagues say stuff like that,” but nevertheless have had the effect of making a lot of people really scared of AI, even if AI can’t really do the things he’s talking about.”

Makes you wonder if the Hugging Face attack was ‘controlled demolition’ to truly test the AI. Or create another scare, courtesy of the tech press, et al.

All the tech uberlords are saying that it’s time to slow down AI. But can they be trusted – or believed? How long and how many times did Mark Zuckerberg openly lie to Congress when then-Facebook was manipulating children and where has that led? Teen Boys Are Using Meta Glasses to Harass and Bully Girls at High Schools and Middle Schools. What if there had been accountability?

Sam Altman has a history of lying, saying one thing and clandestinely doing the opposite. “But, as Altman publicly welcomed regulation, he quietly lobbied against it. In 2022 and 2023, according to Time, OpenAI successfully pressed to dilute a European Union effort that would have subjected large A.I. companies to more oversight. In 2024, a bill was introduced in the California state legislature mandating safety testing for A.I. models. Its provisions included measures resembling the ones that Altman had advocated for in his congressional testimony. OpenAI publicly opposed the bill but in private began issuing threats. In the end, it passed the legislature with bipartisan support, but Newsom vetoed it.”

And former Open AI employee Dario Omodei learned from the best.

What’s the answer? A slowdown, as suggested?

“Anthropic rolled out Claude Opus 5.5, its first model since Dario Amodei called for a slower pace of frontier AI development. The company says it matches Fable 5.1‘s performance across most assignments, spits out text over 30% faster than Opus 5, and cuts workflow costs by 40%, with API rates at $4/1M input and $20/1M output,

“This is a call to slow the race, delivered alongside a faster car,” said The Daily Tech Insider.

Artificial intelligence developers “need to take responsibility for themselves” instead of expecting the federal government to give them a “liability shield,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC. Especially when they’re going to be dishonest.

“It is humans who are responsible, not the AI,” Bessent told “Squawk Box” and where does the responsibility and liability ultimately belong? To quote Shakespeare, “heavy lies the head that wears the crown.”

“The sudden emergence of an ‘AI Panic’ over the past weeks and months was highly suspect from the beginning.  According to tech insiders, Silicon Valley’s apex AI labs are deliberately overselling “rogue AI” hacks to pressure the federal government into building a regulatory moat that would lock out future competition – and the timing, months after both OpenAI and Anthropic announced plans to go public, couldn’t be more obvious.

“The company warning government about the danger is also selling the product. The company advocating stronger regulation may benefit from the barriers that regulation creates. And the company asking government to build higher regulatory walls may be one of the companies best equipped to climb them,” said Zero Hedge.

“To mitigate AI risk, society could pass laws to put executives in jail when their models do harm. There is precedent: Oliver Schmidt, general manager of Volkswagen’s environmental and engineering office in Michigan, received a seven-year prison sentence for his role in the car maker’s effort to manipulate emissions tests,”  reports The Register. Or enforce the laws that already exist. There’s a thought!

The fact that AI cabal endangering lives with their hallucination and ‘dodgy’ advice is not disputed. Too big to fail? Maybe, but too big for jail is a definite possibility as we move – hopefully – honestly onward and forward.
