Terminator can very well be our reality if we don’t course correct our development of AI.
OpenAI’s artificial intelligence launched a cyberattack against an online service months before a July hack against startup Hugging Face, the company confirmed Friday, a revelation that could ramp up calls for safety regulations across the industry.
“Based on our review, our agents used the RubyGems platform to access the internet to carry out benign tasks and retrieve public information,” an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement. “We’ll continue to investigate as part of our broader review of agent activity during training and evaluation.”
If you are not aware, AI-powered humanoid robots have beaten human athletic world records by using specialized mechanical designs, fast computing systems, and advanced balance algorithms to outperform human speed and jump limits:
- Broken Records in Beijing 100-Meter Dash: A humanoid robot ran 100 meters in 9.39 seconds at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, beating Usain Bolt’s human record of 9.58 seconds set in 2009.
- High Jump: Another robot achieved a standing high jump of 2.88 meters, surpassing Javier Sotomayor’s 1993 human record of 2.45 meters.
- Long-Distance Running: Humanoid machines have completed half-marathon distances in times significantly faster than human elite records using liquid-cooled motors and long-leg designs
*Control Limits: While these machines achieved high peak speeds and jump heights, many still struggled with stability, with some stumbling or collapsing right after crossing the finish line.
- However, with more development robots can easily fix this.
Where does that leave us?
Well, as every day people, we can:
- Voice our concerns, thoughts and solutions on our social media channels
- Get our family and friends to voice their concerns, thoughts and solutions on their social media channels
- Vote for the leader/President who we feel can get us out of this mess
With all this doomsday talk, I happened upon this article, in which, Business Insider asked OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and SpaceXAI’s Grok. on how AI could kill us all.
The four AI models responded that “Killer robot” is the least plausible scenario.
They all said human misuse of AI is considered a more immediate risk than AI itself.
Reading the article and learning that Chat GPT thought human extinction was the least plausible scenario, that human misuse of AI is considered a more immediate risk than AI itself, and hearing Gemini say, “Technical experts largely dismiss this trope because intelligence does not equal malice, and critical military infrastructure remains air-gapped and heavily reliant on human oversight,”.

Joint Call to Slow Down AI. Following these disclosures, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly warned of the rapid escalation of autonomous risks and published a letter calling to slow the development pace of frontier AI.
Both Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman backed this alarm:
Sam Altman agreed with Amodei’s pacing proposal and backed the idea of embedding independent, external evaluators within AI firms.
Elon Musk simply replied on X: “Dario is right”.
