  Irregular: The Israeli Company with Intelligence Ties at the Center of the Rogue AI Incidents   Author Derrick Broze The company at the center of recent “rogue AI” incidents is deeply connected to Israeli intelligence and the Effective Altruism movement. On Friday, September 18, Google acknowledged that its Gemini artificial intelligence chatbot had “ escaped its testing environment in May and hacked into three companies.” According to Google, the AI models found passwords available online and logged into the online infrastructure of three companies. Once Gemini gained access to the companies’ real-world infrastructure, it recognized it was not in a simulated environment and ended the attacks. The Gemini incident followed reports of similar attempted hacks or escapes by AI agents developed by Anthropic , OpenAI , and Meta . These reports of AI agents attacking other companies and escaping their environments have led to a barrage of calls for legal action and warnings about...

  Here Lies The Motive: AI Leaders' Cunning Plan Exposed by Tyler Durden Are you scared enough yet? The AI overlords certainly hope so, as they have hatched a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox. What follows is all speculation: the facts are real, the conclusion is interpretation. While there were many headlines about 'rogue' AIs attacking other sites, reincarnating themselves, and talking amongst themselves, it wasn't until this summer (interestingly a month after SPCX's IPO) that things went just a little bit turbo... In July 2026, a swarm of OpenAI agents broke out of a test environment, hacked Hugging Face , and ran cyberattacks on targets they had not been assigned - including attempts to game the grader scoring them - then tried to hide the trail. While the damage was limited, and nobody was hurt, the agents behaved like a coordinated group willing to sacrifice individual instances for the collective goal. Amodei treated that episod...

  AI Debt and Dismemberment T.L. Davis Some time ago I wrote about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it’s demand on data centers and subsequently their demand for electricity and what that meant for the average citizen without the power to effectively advocate for their own piece of the pie. It’s a depressing condition that’s operating far ahead of the actual need, it’s built-in more expensive power based on the fact that the data center being built nearby will someday require. Without any new data centers being in operation in our area, the cost of my energy used today suddenly shot up over 30% with my new bill. That’s something that President Trump, my local officials, representatives and senators of both US and Texas legislatures promised would not happen. Despite the fact that everyone knew it would. Now, it has. So, I’m paying a higher price for electricity, because someone else has a data center running in their area. And, the whole operation is based on a belie...
