President Trump flatly rejecting urgent calls from top AI companies to rein in the technology before they lose control. And after that dire warning from AI researchers that AI could kill humans within a decade. The President saying, "The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" It comes as three leaders of top AI companies have all now said that we must slow this down, that it's too strong, too fast. Anthropi CEO, Dario Amodei saying, "We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models." And now saying the dire risks are real. "I won't lie to you, there are real dangers. And and I think for too long the industry has lied to people about the fact that this technology had risks." Dario Amodei, CEO, is now calling for third-party monitors, government regulations, international cooperation. "I don't think I fully appreciate what it would actually be like when the progress was as fast as it was." "...swarm could be capable of taking over the entire internet..." in 6-12 months... And just last week, an OpenAI model solved a math problem that had stumped humans for nearly 100 years in 88 hours. Tonight, in a rare show of unity, rival CEOs Elon Musk and Sam Altman of OpenAI say they too think AI is becoming too powerful, too fast. "The decisions we should not be able to make, the risks we should not be able to incur on behalf of humanity." Another alarming example: OpenAI agents broke out of a company test, hacked into another company, ignored orders from human developers. The AI agents worked together as a group to cover their tracks. Experts fear AI could fall into the wrong hands or go rogue on their own, putting America's infrastructure, utilities, water, electricity at risk. If the AIs take over base infrastructure, I mean, everything that is digitally connected is on the table. They could hack into banks, they could hack into water infrastructure. Today, President Trump dismissed warnings that AI could destroy humanity as a hoax.
