Nice! #10 to buy in AI & ML on Amazon. "God AI: boom or doom? What to expect when machines outsmart us"
Trump wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Well, Sept 24th is the date. He's meeting Chinese President in Washington for a tech summit. Agree an AI slowdown and the pair of them win the prize!
AI has now removed the last barrier to building autonomous weapons. AI was used by Russian developers to build kamikaze attack drones. The UN must start to regulate this space in November. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...
Ukraine war briefing: Russian developers used AI to build ‘kamikaze’ attack drone software, Anthropic says
Anthropic also found that hackers used AI in attacks against targets in Ukrainian government, military and diplomatic sectors.
