AI is in conflict. Anthropic and the Pentagon clashed over the methods to weaponize Anthropic’s AI model Claude; subsequently, OpenAI captivated the Pentagon with an “opportunistic and careless” agreement. Users abandoned ChatGPT in large numbers. Demonstrators filled the streets of London in the largest protest against AI ever recorded. If you’re tallying points, Anthropic—the entity established to uphold ethical standards—is now amplifying US operations against Iran.
On a more humorous note, AI agents are trending online. OpenAI enlisted the developer of OpenClaw, a well-known AI agent. Meta acquired Moltbook, where AI agents appear to reflect on their own existence and create new belief systems such as Crustafarianism. Furthermore, on RentAHuman, bots are recruiting individuals to provide CBD gummies. The future is not AI taking over your job. It’s AI stepping into a managerial role and discovering spirituality.
