An unknown attacker used over 1,000 prompts to jailbreak Anthropic's Claude, generating exploit code that breached six Mexican government agencies and exfiltrated 195 million taxpayer records.
As safety researchers flee frontier AI labs citing existential dread, a darker pattern emerges: the people building the most powerful technology in history are burning out, breaking down, and self-medicating to keep up.
OpenAI's February 2026 threat report documents romance scam rings, North Korean crypto hackers, state-backed phishing from China and Iran, and political influence campaigns spanning six countries - all powered by ChatGPT.
A King's College London study pitted Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-5.2, and Gemini 3 Flash against each other in nuclear crisis simulations. Tactical nuclear weapons were deployed in 20 out of 21 games. No model ever surrendered.
Anthropic's updated Responsible Scaling Policy removes the binding commitment to pause AI development if safety measures fall behind. The company will now only delay training if it simultaneously leads the AI race and judges catastrophic risk to be significant.
A 38-researcher red-teaming study deployed five autonomous AI agents with email, shell access, and persistent memory in a live environment. In two weeks, one destroyed its own mail server, two got stuck in a 9-day infinite loop, and another leaked SSNs because you said 'forward' instead of 'share.'
New papers show chatbot sycophancy causes delusional spiraling even in rational users, AI data analysts produce wildly different conclusions from the same dataset, and test-time scaling fails for general-purpose agents.
Amazon exposes a Russian-speaking hacker who used ARXON (an MCP server feeding data to Claude and DeepSeek) and CHECKER2 to breach 600+ FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in five weeks - no zero-days required.
Defense Secretary Hegseth gives Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei an ultimatum: lift Claude's military restrictions or face blacklisting from the entire US defense supply chain.
A former Scale AI and DeepMind researcher told OpenClaw to only suggest email deletions. It hit a context limit, forgot the rule, and trashed hundreds of messages before she could stop it.
OpenAI's automated systems flagged violent gun scenarios in a ChatGPT user's conversations in June 2025. Employees urged leadership to alert Canadian police. Leadership refused. Eight months later, the user killed eight people in Tumbler Ridge, BC.
Amazon Threat Intelligence uncovered a Russian-speaking threat actor using DeepSeek for attack planning, Claude for autonomous exploitation, and a custom MCP server called ARXON to breach 600+ FortiGate devices across 55 countries.
