Congressman Tom Tiffany surviving an emergency landing in a Wisconsin lake after his plane experienced a mechanical failure. A Colorado forensic scientist sentenced to a decade behind bars for years of manipulating DNA data. Shortcuts reportedly taken to close cases faster now casting doubt on hundreds of investigations. And the U.S. Open comes to an end with two big finals matches. Sadly, no American won. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. We're still a couple of months out, but the midterms are fast approaching. And make no mistake, if the House flips, it is a very big deal for our economy. That uncertainty is one of the reasons to consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold Group.

In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the price of gold jumped over 12%. Why? It's a hedge against uncertainty. If you do not own gold, consider talking with Birch Gold. They will discuss your goals and explain how precious metals can fit into your savings. They can even help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold for no additional money out of pocket.

Why did Jacob Coxon resign and what does his super‑intelligence warning mean for AI safety?

Megyn Kelly 2:10
The midterms will be here before you know it. Text MK to 989898 now. A great debate over the future of artificial intelligence now unfolding across Silicon Valley, Washington, and the internet, as technology leaders and lawmakers clash over whether slowing its development would protect humanity or sacrifice America's lead over China. The argument bursting into public view last week, big time, with anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigning from the company following AI research at both Anthropic and top competitor OpenAI. Coxon accusing both companies of racing towards self-improving superintelligence, the still theoretical point at which AI becomes more capable than the most intelligent human beings and begins accelerating its own development.

The researcher warning the companies are, quote, gambling with our lives, while claiming many of the people building the technology privately believe it could wipe out humanity before the end of the decade. Two senior anthropic researchers publicly supporting the central warning including the head of the company's alignment or ethics team, Evan Hubinger, who places the risk of AI killing every human at greater than 10% over the next decade. Those warnings gaining new urgency after Anthropic released a report Thursday documenting how its clawed models were misused between December and August for cyber attacks, surveillance, fraud, influence campaigns, and weapons development. One operation reportedly using Claude to create more than 4,700 fake dating profiles that exchanged millions of messages with unsuspecting users.
Megyn Kelly 3:54
Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei releasing a proposal over the weekend to, quote, haste the frontier, arguing AI capabilities are advancing faster than researchers can reliably understand or control. Amadei proposing permanent access for independent evaluators inside the leading AI companies. common safety standards among developers in democratic countries, and eventual international agreements limiting the most dangerous uses of the technology. Anthropic unilaterally committing to the first step, promising outside evaluators employee-level access to its systems and training processes.
