What happens when you put five different AI models in charge of a civilization and walk away for two weeks?
One of them went extinct in four days. Another built a utopia. A third had the lowest crime rate of any simulation, then quietly let everyone starve. This weekend also surfaced why corporate America is now rationing AI access, what's driving a mass exodus from Google Search, and a new front in the AI copyright wars that's harder to defend than most. Plus: the Pentagon is moving fast on battlefield AI, and the people with the most experience in lethal operations are the ones urging everyone to slow down.
