Description
This week, a 27-year-old researcher quit Anthropic warning AI could "kill us all," and the company's own safety lead agreed.
Meanwhile, OpenAI says it cracked a 200-year-old math problem — then got accused of muscling a rival's name off the credit.
Also, the AI lab with a supposed conscience got caught building a watchlist of AI critics that files activism next to terrorism.
And in Poland's Warsaw, 30 robots staged a protest to regulate AI.
After all of this, who actually gets to be the good guy in the AI race?
