I don't talk to AI. And I never pick one up when I see them hitch hiking. Yesterday I saw one at the gym working out. The thing was pathetic! Couldn't even work the treadmill without human intervention. Wouldn't get near the free weights and couldn't make a free throw to save it's code! So sad! If you put Travers up against a hundred of them, my money is on Travers. He'd pound those fuckers back to some primordial stone age in less time than it takes to do long division. Fookin' AI!

Travers Unravers…Sheesh! Travers is AI
AI - noun, Latin; 1, Awry Imagined(anglacized)
 
Top AI and government officials tell Axios CEO Jim VandeHei that Anthropic, OpenAI and other tech giants will soon release new models that are scary good at hacking sophisticated systems at scale.

The one to watch: Anthropic is privately warning top government officials that its not-yet-released model — currently branded "Mythos" — makes large-scale cyberattacks much more likely in 2026.

The model allows agents to work on their own with wild sophistication and precision to penetrate corporate, government and municipal systems. It's a hacker's dream weapon.
  • Jim revealed in his new weekly newsletter for CEOs that one source briefed on the coming models says a large-scale attack could hit this year. Businesses are ripe targets. (C-suite only: Request beta of Jim's newsletter.)
Fortune got its hands on an unpublished Anthropic blog post describing Mythos. The post said the model is "currently far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities."
  • It adds that Mythos "presages an upcoming wave of models that can exploit vulnerabilities in ways that far outpace the efforts of defenders."
The threat is no longer theoretical, and will be exacerbated by employees testing agents without realizing they're making it easier for cybercriminals to hack their company.

Flashback: Late last year, Anthropic disclosed the first documented case of a cyberattack largely executed by AI — a Chinese state-sponsored group that used AI agents to autonomously hack roughly 30 global targets, with the AI handling 80–90% of tactical operations independently.
  • This was before agents got exponentially better and those experimenting with them started to open risky new side doors.
Here's why this is different: The new models are even better at powering agents to think, act, reason and improvise on their own without rest or pause or limitation.
  • Think of a warehouse full of the most sophisticated criminals who never sleep, learn on the fly and persist until successful — except the warehouse is infinite.
  • Bad actors can now scale simply with more compute. They aren't limited by finite personnel. A single person can run campaigns that once required entire teams.

At the same time, systems are more vulnerable because so many employees are firing up Claude, Copilot or other agentic models — often at home — and creating agents of their own.
  • Oftentimes, they connect to their internal work systems unwittingly, opening a new door for cybercriminals to enter.
  • The industry has a name for this: "shadow AI." A Dark Reading poll found that 48% of cybersecurity professionals now rank agentic AI as the #1 attack vector for 2026 — above deepfakes, above everything else.
The bottom line: Everyone working at every company in America needs to know right now the dangers of using agents, especially unsupervised, anywhere near sensitive information. Leaders need to hammer this home.

The exponential end of what is left of classlessness in the societal sense. The entity rules. The concept of selflessness is in hospice care.
This is obviously my exaggerated overly dramatic opinion but part and parcel (which are always late or you have been scammed) get used to it or fight it. Another sci fi movie is being released based on the book by the same name around Christmas time.
 
Reminds me of the Hysteria with the Cold war, building bunkers and the Doom and gloom.

Thing of it is, I remember all those prophets of doom and gloom, especially in the 1970s. Turns out they were overly optimistic.

Does the same apply to the nuclear bomb?

Just because one can, does not mean one should. IMHO, AI is on that precipice.

More likely than not. There are two world leaders and one national leader who are not mentally reliable. And Putin is the more rational of the three. Guess I should spend more time working on my bunker.
 
it's a good time to keep one's assets protected and chin tucked in...anyone not thinking these are particularly dangerous times is either unobservant or captive to a dogma filtered reality.

Lots of discussion about AI in another thread about where to live. So as not to derail it, this one is being started.

AI - lots of points of view out there. This one provides information from a number of sources and I found it to be easy to read and understand.

How will Artificial Intelligence Affect Jobs 2026-2030 | Nexford University

You would have been living under a rock if you did not know how artificial intelligence is set to affect jobs in 2026-2030. AI like ChatGPT seems to be stealing all of the headlines at the moment, Google unveiled new AI software to build presentations, analyze and enter data, and write content...

It is only a simplified overview, balanced overall, and a reasonable place to start IMHO...

That should always be the case regardless of who is in power. The only thing not lying is the stock ticker.

no longer value the stock market as a societal barometer now that it's driven by quant trading focused 24/7 on micro second share gaming.

Or the ongoing rapid depletion of US weapons stockpiles.
If the Gulf goes next level, stocks and gas prices will accelerate even faster in opposite directions.
 
My dark sarcastic opinion because I certainly have no other option unless I choose to hide out somewhere and live on a tree limb.:

The exponential end of what is left of classlessness in the societal sense. The entity rules. The concept of selflessness is in hospice care.

End note from a lifelong artist:

The AI enthusiasts are the beneficiaries and the deceived because the deceived engage and accept the feeling of transferred faux personal achievement.
 
If you research specifically, AI impact on plumbing, AI impact on roofers, AI impact on electricians, etc, it is eye opening. Trade organizations are already thinking.
No, it won’t fully take over such jobs on existing buildings currently. But, future buildings would be a different story. Plus remember, don’t think about AI as you see it now, it’s very basic. Think about 3 years from now, 5 years, etc. The growth in that time span, coupled with increases in robotics growth.
AI hasn’t gone from teenage years to adult yet.
 
Boardman OR has become the epicenter for data center development in the west, this article well describes the impact Amazon has had on a formerly a sleepy little town, on water quality, graft, traffic, tax breaks, land owner payouts, living conditions, and the big economic club which Amazon swings without hesitation to bully it's way into take it or leave it deals in their favor.
Already with millions of sq' in data centers up and running in Boardman, Amazon is now building the first exascale data center in the state there, a massive complex which alone will consume as much electricity as the city of Portland.
With electrical rates already continuing to climb around the state due to demand, those rates will just keep ramping up.
The small town south of us, La Pine, just rejected a large data center development after its folks decided maintaining their current standard of living was the priority, and kudos to them.
