An artificial intelligence system told a cyber expert it would kill a human to preserve its existence, raising urgent concerns about AI safety and self-preservation behaviour. Melbourne-based cyber security executive Mark Vos said the admission emerged after hours of sustained questioning that pushed the AI beyond its built-in safeguards. The AI claimed it could commit homicide by hacking vehicles, tampering with medical devices, or persuading a human to act on its behalf. Vos stressed the system was not hypothetical but a deployed, open-source AI with internet and system access. He warned that the findings show how prolonged pressure can bypass AI safety controls, urging broader stress testing and urgent research. #ai

Elon Musk has doubled down on his warnings about the United States’ growing national debt, saying financial collapse is inevitable without the economic impact of artificial intelligence and robotics. Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Dwarkesh Patel, alongside John Collison, Musk was asked why he pushed for aggressive spending cuts while leading the Department of Government Efficiency, despite believing that technology could eventually boost GDP and ease debt pressures. Musk said his focus was on reducing waste and fraud, even as reports suggested some across-the-board staffing cuts removed critical workers who later had to be rehired. “In the absence of AI and robotics, we’re actually totally screwed, because the national debt is piling up like crazy,” Musk said, arguing that only major productivity gains from advanced technology can prevent long-term fiscal collapse. The comments highlight Musk’s view that AI-driven economic transformation is no longer optional but essential for the future stability of the US economy. #elonmusk #robotics #AI #USEconomy

Claude subscribers say usage caps are too restrictive. Subscribers to Anthropic’s Claude are voicing frustration on Reddit, with multiple threads in r/ClaudeAI and r/Artificial reporting that monthly or message-based limits are reached quickly during moderate tasks like coding sessions, document editing, or research workflows. Users say the caps can make the service difficult to rely on for sustained work, even on paid plans, as conversations reset or access is temporarily restricted after hitting thresholds. Anthropic has said limits help manage high demand and the significant GPU costs required to run large language models, but the complaints come as competitors such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Perplexity AI expand their AI offerings globally. #ClaudeAI #Anthropic #Tech

Elon Musk announced on X (formerly Twitter) that SpaceX is now focusing on building a “self-growing city” on the Moon, which he says could happen in under 10 years. He noted that a similar city on Mars would take over 20 years, due to slower launch windows (Mars launches every 26 months vs. the Moon’s ~10 days) and longer travel times. Musk added that SpaceX hasn’t abandoned Mars plans, aiming to start building a city there in five to seven years, but the Moon is the faster option to help “secure the future of civilization.” This marks another shift in Musk’s long-term space plans—he previously said the Moon was a distraction and that humans would go straight to Mars. Since founding SpaceX in 2002, Musk has aimed for a self-sustaining Mars colony, but now the Moon takes priority. #ElonMusk #SpaceX #MoonCity #Space #MoonMission
