Paraguay President and Partner of Trump Impeached Over Fintech Bank Collapse Leaving Millions without Access to Their Bank Accounts

While the U.S. elections dominated the media headlines this week, the biggest story of the week may actually be what happened in Paraguay, where a banking collapse led to mass protests on the streets due to people not being able to withdraw their funds on deposit from Ueno Bank, the largest bank in the country. The Conservative President of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, a close ally of President Trump and Israel, was arrested as a result. He immediately tried to resign from office, which by the laws in Paraguay would have given him legal immunity from criminal prosecution for the rest of his life. But the Paraguay national government moved swiftly to prevent his resignation, and instead impeached him by a unanimous vote, with his own party even turning against him. He remains under arrest today. Is This the Start of the Backlash Against Conservatives and Big Tech that will Bring Down the Global Financial System?

“Politics is a Dead End” – Nothing Will Change After Mid-Term Elections in the U.S.

It was a Republican "blood bath" and Democrats were "swept into power", according to headlines about yesterday's U.S. national election results. Democrats now control more of American politics than they have in decades, but will anything actually change? Professor Seyed M. Marandi from Tehran best represents my own views regarding yesterday's elections and the Republican "blood bath", in this interview that was recorded earlier today. It's a uni-party folks. Nothing is going to change. Oh, there will be some changes in Washington D.C., for sure. But the only things that are going to change are the political shows, which are best viewed as entertainment, and not reality. Trump will most certainly be impeached, again. And there will be Congressional subpoenas and investigations into those who were associated with Jeffrey Epstein, again. And of course Zionist policies in the Middle East will continue, as they always have since 1948 and even before that.

Pedophile President: Trump & Epstein Argued Over Who would Take 13-Year-Old’s Virginity, New House Report States

A new Democrat-led House Committee on the Judiciary report released this week sheds more light on President Donald Trump’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The Document, entitled “‘We Have Certain Things in Common, Jeffrey’: The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ’s Desperate Efforts to Cover it Up,” is based on the accounts of eleven women, five of whom alleged Trump raped or sexually assaulted them in the presence of the disgraced financier. Two of those women were 13-year-old children at the time of the alleged events. The report portrays both Trump and former United States Special Representative for Global Partnerships Paolo Zampolli as being members of Epstein’s trafficking inner circle, and catalogs how Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) “actively obstructed the Epstein investigation into any co-conspirators” and attempted to block the release of the Epstein Files in order to protect the president. Even so, Trump’s name still appears roughly 38,000 times in the released Epstein Files, with Epstein himself claiming that he introduced Trump’s future wife Melania to him, and that the pair first had sex aboard his infamous “Lolita Express” jet. Melania was, at the time, a model working for Zampolli’s agency.

As Cyberattacks Increase Fear of AI Bank Access Makes Headline News – Is there an Agenda?

A major security threat happened on the Internet last week, where security flaws were revealed in PHP code, which is used by about 70% of the websites on the Internet. This was not fake news; it was real. My entire IT team had to stop everything they were doing that day to address this problem and apply the fixes, as did most of the IT departments of the businesses we deal with everyday. But a few days later, another story even more fearful appeared, leading readers to wonder if their bank accounts were safe from rogue "runaway AI bots." This "story" is NOT news. It is editorializing and predicting the future based on the classic "appeals to authority" where "experts" supposedly know more than we stupid human beings know who are not considered "experts". So is there an agenda here? What might come next?

Is an “October Surprise” Imminent in the Middle East before the U.S. Mid-term Elections?

It is being reported that the U.S. is evacuating Americans from countries in the Middle East in what could be the beginning of an escalation of the war there.  Could an "October Surprise" be imminent as we get closer to the U.S. mid-term elections? Daniel Davis, a retired U.S. military officer who has a popular YouTube following, just interviewed Professor Seyed M. Marandi from inside Tehran a couple of hours before I published this article. Professor Marandi states that the Iranians are ready for any new offensive from Israel and the U.S., and that if their energy infrastructure is attacked, which is what is being threatened, that the rich Arab Gulf states will all be destroyed, which will drag down the global economy with the loss of all the oil they produce. This will, in turn, cause the current refugee problem in places like Latin America to become even worse, as they will seek to cross the borders into Western countries like the U.S. and Europe. Marandi references some recent statements by Trump about San Diego and Los Angeles being bombed, stating that Iranians would have no motivation whatsoever to bomb U.S. cities, which means this would be a "false flag" event caused by the U.S. in an attempt to gain public approval for their war against Iran. Both Davis and Marandi talk about how none of the reasons given to attack Iran make any kind of sense whatsoever, because there are no winners in such a doomsday scenario that could include nuclear bombs. It is a product of the Zionist belief system, and really nothing else. Are Americans prepared to die for "Greater Israel"?

Trump Announces that “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) is Now Renamed “Super Intelligence” (SI) – What Comes Next?

President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order formally instructing his administration to stop using the terms “artificial intelligence” and “AI” in favor of “super intelligence” and “SI.” Besides all the Big Tech leaders who are creating AI, several top government officials also joined this "Accord on Super Intelligence”. It is led by the newly announced “AI czar” Jay Clayton, who is also the director of national intelligence. Other members include Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Vice President JD Vance, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Andrew Ferguson, and former National Security Advisor in the Bush administration Condoleezza Rice. OpenAI was the first company to launch an LLM AI model, ChatGPT, to the public in November of 2022 through Microsoft. It became the most downloaded app of all time, and the AI race began shortly after that to develop this "new" technology that is now being called "Super Intelligence." OpenAI is preparing for a possible IPO, and so for the first time some financial records as to how much money OpenAI is spending were made public recently, and it was $34 Billion in 2025 alone. So while we don't know the total amount of money spent by OpenAI to develop ChatGPT prior to its launch in November of 2022, and the years between then and 2025, I think we can safely assume it is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLION DOLLARS. With that kind of spending, AI should be "Super Intelligent!!!" But is it?

More People Waking Up to the AI Con and the Impending AI Financial Collapse that Will Probably Destroy Our Economy

The AI bubble and impending financial collapse is now being reported more than ever before. And while the corporate media and even the alternative media are still participating in the AI Con with doomsday scenarios about computers becoming smarter than humans and “rogue AI agents” threatening our very existence, more and more people are drawing back the curtain and noticing that there is actually nothing there, and that most of what is being published in the media about AI is NOT real science, but simply science fiction. At some point reality and the truth about AI will become evident to all, but will that time come before the entire economy of the U.S. is completely destroyed by what is being described as “The largest misallocation of capital in history“? After I published my last update on AI, "Is AI a Threat to Destroy Humanity or is the Real Threat Those Who Control the Technology?", I received several comments from a reader that probably totaled over 3000 words "explaining" to me how wrong I was to not fear AI, claiming supernatural evil powers were evolving from it. And the kicker? This commentor admitted that HE HAD NOT EVEN READ MY ARTICLE yet. This is called "a Cult", because it is a belief system that will withstand any amount of logic or truth you throw at it, because most of the time they will not even read or listen to anything that contradicts their belief system, and their "mission" to warn the world about the doomsday future ahead where AI takes over everything and replaces humans.

Bessent and Lutnick are Building a Parallel Financial System on Stablecoins without Government Oversight While Crashing the U.S. Dollar Intentionally

Leah of the Leah Files has just published her 4th article in her "Currency Killer" series about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's attempts to take over the U.S. financial system by crashing the U.S. dollar and replacing it with stablecoins, and specifically with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's Tether stablecoin, the largest stablecoin in the world which is now rapidly buying up U.S. Treasuries. In this 4th article in the series, Leah covers the GENIUS Act, which has already been signed into law, but has a comment period before it is enacted that will close on October 19. As Leah writes, this is not simply "corruption as usual" in Washington D.C., where conflicts of interest rule the day. No, this is entirely different - it is the complete hijacking of the U.S. financial system and putting it into the hands of a very few powerful people, and one very powerful company: Tether. As Leah writes: "That is not a stablecoin company. That is a parallel financial system, every function of a central bank plus every function of an intelligence service, in one private entity, owned by four men who control 86 percent of the equity, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, physically located in El Salvador, and paying zero corporate tax on $13 billion in annual revenue." In 2024 during the Presidential campaign season in the U.S., I exposed many of the Silicon Valley billionaires who follow the teachings of Curtis Yarvin, and believe that democracy is a poor form of government, and would instead prefer a monarchy. Peter Thiel heads this list, along with his protege and disciple, J.D. Vance, who is now the Vice President of the United States. Of course "democracy" and the illusion that people can vote politicians into office to affect change is considered a "Constitutional Right", and this belief is drilled into every American through our educational system. So overthrowing the government and installing a king is just not something that would go over too well in the U.S. However, hijacking the American financial system by crashing the U.S. dollar, replacing it with stablecoins, and putting it into the hands of a few powerful people in the private sector would accomplish almost the exact same thing, and Leah exposes it all in her series and in this latest article, which is must reading for everyone.

Trump Rejects Iran-China Peace Deal as Iran Prepares to Change from Defensive Position to Offensive Position in the War

I have just finished listening to an interview with international journalist Pepe Escobar, that aired today, about two hours before I am publishing this. If you want to detox yourself from the U.S. corporate media propaganda, and get the "other side" of the current situation in the Iran War, investing time to watch this video (55-minutes long) is well worth it. There were apparently attempts to knock Escobar offline during the interview, suggesting that there are forces who do not want people to hear what he has to say. Escobar states that Iran gained a lot of friends and a lot of support in New York last week at the UN General Assembly meeting. Escobar also gives information about China President Xi's meeting with President Trump last week that was generally not covered in the U.S. corporate media. He claims that Xi pressed Trump to return to the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) from last June that was negotiated by Pakistan, and that the U.S. originally signed. But over this past weekend, Trump made it known publicly that he is rejecting any offer by Iran to end the war, and Escobar states that this does not sit well with China at all, and that China will now become much more involved in working with and helping Iran in the current war. He states that Iran is now going on the offensive, and he expects things to start happening this week. The Epstein Syndicate's real agenda, according to Escobar, is to nuke both sides in the Middle East, both Persians and Arabs alike, and take over the Strait of Hormuz that Trump plans to name after himself. Pepe Escobar: "There is no solution (to ending this war through negotiation). It is a do or die war."

Is AI a Threat to “Destroy Humanity” or is the Real Threat Those Who Control the Technology?

A couple of weeks ago a 27-year-old AI researcher, Jacob Coxon, resigned from Anthropic stating that he was afraid that in about 10 years from now "AI will kill us all." He posted his remarks on X from a new account, and yet it went viral immediately, suggesting that it was a planned event. When it passed 120 million views, Elon Musk himself stated that he had never seen something like this before from "a new account with almost no prior activity.” This claim from a 27-year-old about the future of humanity then went viral and dominated the news stream for over a week. It prompted calls for legislation to control AI, and some of the largest AI Chat Bot producers stated that the development of AI should slow down, which both President Donald Trump and China President Xi rejected, as China called it "fear mongering." This story followed stories last month (August, 2026) that AI agents were "going rogue." As I have written for years now, AI needs two things to exist: electricity and the Internet. A shortage in power to generate electricity is the main thing holding back AI development right now, as communities all across the U.S. come together to fight back against new Data Center projects. And without the Internet, just how is AI going to kill off humanity? Clearly the threat of AI to humanity is the threat of the bad actors behind the scenes controlling the technology. Could we soon see a false flag event that is blamed on "rogue AI agents" that forces some kind of government intervention?

Saudi Arabia is Exporting ZERO Oil as U.S. Sends Unprecedented Amount of 2,000-pound Bombs to Israel

As I reported earlier this week, the Yemen takeover of the Red Sea has changed everything in the Middle East, and things are moving fast now. CBS News published photos of destroyed U.S. bases in the Middle East yesterday for the first time since the Iran War started, claiming that the photos were sent to them by "active service members on condition of anonymity." "These are not 'squirters' getting through," the service member added, referencing language used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed." As I write this on September 16, 2026, Saudi Arabia is currently exporting ZERO oil. This is the country with the largest oil company in the world, Aramco, which was started by the United States and today employs tens of thousands of Americans in Saudi Arabia. There were reports earlier this week that Saudi Arabia's leader, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), was under house arrest, but he appeared in public yesterday in a state visit to Egypt, dispelling those rumors. But that doesn't mean that there is not currently chaos in the Royal Al-Saud family, and even the possibility that the Al-Saud family could be in danger of being able to hold on to its power in Saudi Arabia. The original name of this area was just "Arabia", and included what is today called "Yemen." In spite of the success of Yemen forces to take over the Red Sea and bomb Saudi Arabia's oil production offline, there is no sign that the U.S. or Israel are close to admitting defeat. On the contrary, it has been reported this week that the U.S. is preparing to sell 60,000 highly destructive, 2,000-pound (907kg) bombs to Israel in a multibillion-dollar package which will be funded by American taxpayers, a move that is almost unprecedented in modern history.

The Demise of Saudi Arabia, and Perhaps Christian Zionism? Yemen Shocks the World by Taking Control of the Red Sea

The Iran War drastically changed at the end of last week, as Yemen's Ansarullah-led Armed Forces (Houthis) took control of the country’s western coastline, capturing key positions overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait, including the coastal city of Mokha and strategic islands in and around the waterway, and they are now effectively controlling traffic in the Red Sea. As far as I can tell, this was a complete surprise to everyone, especially to Saudi Arabia and the United States. It forced the U.S. corporate media to report this, and it dominated the news stream until the fake "AI is going to destroy humanity if we don't do something about it" narrative took control of the news stream this past weekend. Saudi Arabia, who has been at war with Yemen since 2014 with the help of the U.S. and using U.S. military weapons, was forced to shut down their East-West oil pipeline, which was allowing Saudi Arabia to bypass the Strait of Hormuz to be able to get oil out of their country. This pipeline in Saudi Arabia reportedly transports about 4% to 5% of the global oil supply. Saudi Arabia is now in panic mode, and has reportedly pleaded with the U.S. to help them and start bombing the Yemen forces who have taken control of the Red Sea. However, it appears that Saudi Arabia never got the memo about one of Trump's objectives in the Iran War, which was to let Iran destroy the Gulf Nations' ability to control oil prices through OPEC, while at the same time seizing Venezuela oil amid plans to make America the center of oil sales around the world. Trump's response to Saudi Arabia: sorry, you're on your own. Of course, even if the U.S. did want to stop Yemen’s military and protect Saudi Arabia’s interests, it is doubtful that they would even be able to do so, given the depletion of their weapons and military assets as Iran continues to control the Strait of Hormuz. This very well could be the demise of Saudi Arabia. And if the Yemen takeover of the Red Sea turns the tide overall in the war against Iran, what will the Evangelical Christians do who are so positive that this war was sanctioned by God, and was to hasten the return of Jesus Christ? Could this also be the start of the decline of Christian Zionism as well when they realize that the U.S. cannot defeat Iran and force the return of Jesus Christ after all?

The Epstein Digital Financial System is Getting Ready to Replace the U.S. Dollar

I think they are replacing the US dollar with a private one. Not in some distant future, not as a theory, but right now. Exposed and documented, happening in front of us, and no one is stopping it. If you haven’t read Parts I or II of my Currency Killer Series, go check them out. This is Part III and it may be the worse one yet. The United States government banned itself from making a digital dollar. Then it crashed the real one. Then it handed the replacement to a private company connected to $17 billion in organized crime, whose co-founder spent eight years as Jeffrey Epstein’s personal crypto advisor, and whose largest shareholder was convicted of software piracy before becoming the richest man in Italy. That company is called Tether. It controls $183 billion in digital currency and it is now the 17th largest holder of US government debt on earth. It has never completed a publicly released independent audit. The UN has linked it to $17 billion in organized crime. Tether is a stablecoin company, but it also owns 210,000 hectares of South American farmland and operates Argentina’s sole fertilizer producer. It holds a majority stake in a brain-computer interface company. It is the lead investor in a humanoid robotics firm. It owns 48 percent of a conservative media platform. Its third-largest shareholder controls a 10 percent stake in the privatized research arm of the UK Ministry of Defence. Everyone involved is getting rich, except the American people. Howard Lutnick’s sons’ own a piece of Tether. His firm, Cantor Fitzgerald custodies its reserves. Lutnick’s former minion, Bo Hines, championed the law regulating it from inside the White House and resigned one month after the president signed it, becoming CEO of the company the law was written for. Scott Bessent is blocking a billion dollars in suspicious Epstein banking records while his old fund was paying an intelligence firm controlled by Epstein’s partner. Trump’s family has made over a billion dollars launching their own stablecoin. This is not deregulation, it’s a heist. And I am going to show you what they are doing. Welcome to Part III of the Currency Killer series.

AI Data Center Opposition Unites People Across Political Lines as Trump Attacks Americans Who Oppose Big Tech

Here in 2026 Americans have finally found an issue that unites them as Americans, regardless of political affiliations: opposition to AI data centers being rapidly built in their communities with little to no oversight, as the AI bubble continues to inflate. According to a recent Gallup poll, 71% of Americans oppose AI data centers near their homes, triggering a wave of legislation that has already stalled $130B in projects. Donald Trump has attacked these Americans who make up over 70% of the country, stating that "The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor." If you do not live in a community where a new data center is being constructed, and are wondering what all the fuss is about, I have put together a short video that is just over 10 minutes long where you can hear it from the people themselves in these communities that Trump has belittled. Fox News and some other Right-wing Conservative groups are trying to cast these people who oppose data centers as being part of the "far-left". So listen to these people yourself and see if they sound like "far-left" climate control freaks, or if they sound like ordinary, average Americans concerned about their homes, their families, and their future with Big Tech in control.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Just Restructured The American Financial System to Destroy the U.S. Dollar

A Health Impact News reader reached out to me today about a Substack Page named The Leah Files, and Leah's most recent posts about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick's efforts to intentionally crash the U.S. dollar and replace it with digital stablecoins. Leah claims to have 20 years of experience in intelligence as a former CIA and NSA employee. She also has a YouTube channel. Leah appears to have discovered the Trump Administration's plan to crash the U.S. Dollar and profit from it, and her research appears to be rock solid. Some of this information I already knew, but she covers the most recent actions by Bessent and ties the pieces together, which was a real eye-opener for me, so I decided to feature her work here on the Health Impact News network. She gives great background on Scott Bessent and how he has a history of destroying countries' currencies, and profiting from it. This is what she wrote regarding Bessent and the actions he took as the U.S. Treasury Secretary during a 13-day period in August of 2026: "Between August 11 and August 24, 2026, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent executed a sequence of decisions that, taken together, amount to the most aggressive restructuring of the American financial system in modern history. He did it in thirteen days and it’s being buried in the news…for good reason."

Iran Still Controls the Strait of Hormuz 6 Months After the War Started – U.S. Navy Takes Funds from Payroll to Cover War Costs

After 6 months and $35.7 BILLION in spending, the Zionists' war against Iran has only made matters in the Middle East worse than they were before the war started. Oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz is still restricted, driving up energy costs, with Iran still fully in control. No oil was restricted from passing through the Persian Gulf before the war started. Russia has benefited from all of this military spending, as it has diverted funds and weapons from Ukraine, and earlier this week the head of the CIA made a secret trip to Moscow, allegedly because they received intelligence that Russia was about to start attacking NATO countries. China has found many ways around the disruption of oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, and has reportedly imported close to the same amount of oil flowing through the Persian Gulf as before the war. Meanwhile, U.S. military members in the Navy have suffered very poor conditions from long deployment at sea leading many to suicide attempts, and it was just reported in The Guardian that the U.S. Navy has had to divert funds from their payroll to pay the costs of this war.

Is Trump Importing Contaminated Beef from Argentina While Giving American Cattle Ranchers the Middle Finger?

It's no secret that U.S. President Donald Trump loves Argentine President Javier Milei, and last Fall (2025) he announced plans to import more beef into the U.S. from Argentina. Since then at least 80 metric tons have been imported. However, the USDA recalled approximately 29,628 pounds of raw beef products imported from Argentina earlier this month (August 2026) stating that it had not been properly inspected, suggesting that a lot more beef is currently entering the U.S. from Argentina than is officially being reported. Last Friday, Trump announced that he would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef trimmings to enter the U.S. without the extra tariff-rate quota for the next 90 days, in an effort to lower U.S. beef prices. Cattle ranchers in the U.S. are not too pleased about this announcement, including Republican lawmakers. They claim Trump is giving preferential treatment to Argentina at the expense of U.S. cattle ranchers. There are also concerns that 22 tons of contaminated Argentine beef that were rejected by China might find its way into the U.S. market now with this Executive Order by Trump. The contaminated Argentine beef contains a very dangerous antibiotic that can cause blood disorders in people, a drug banned in most countries, including China. Also, Dolly Parton, who was seen in public as recently as a few weeks ago talking about the future, died suddenly this week at the age of 80. Dolly Parton donated $1 million dollars to invest in the Moderna COVID-vaccine, and she took the shot live on TV.

Trump’s War Against Iran Fulfills Prophecy, but NOT Christian Evangelical Zionist Prophecy

Sam Parker of Behind the News Network has just published an excellent article based on Zbigniew Brzezinski's 1997 book, "The Grand Chessboard". Brzezinski's book warned that if the U.S. ever attacked Iran, it could lead China and Russia to unite with Iran and against the U.S. to prevent Iran's downfall. In a 2012 interview about his book, Brzezinski said: "By 2025, the US could lose its position as the world’s dominant power, leading to a more chaotic and conflict-ridden international system." That "prophecy" has been proven true today, and it is a far different reality than what the Christian Evangelical Christians are saying about prophecy and Iran. The Christians seem to forget their Biblical history, because historically, Israel has been conquered by Iran (Persia), and Iran has never been conquered by a world power since then. In the 8th Century B.C., the Assyrian Empire, which included Persia, carried into captivity the northern 10 tribes of Israel. Then in 586 B.C., Jerusalem fell to the Babylonian Empire, which included Persia, and just a few years later Persia dominated the area and it became known as the Persian Empire. Cyrus, the Persian King, is the one who allowed the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. From the time of the Roman Empire through to the British Empire, Persia (Iran) has never been conquered, and has never been a colony of either Britain or the U.S. It is one of the two non-Arab countries in the Middle East that has never been conquered by Western nations, and is the remnant of a former great world empire. Turkey is the other one, being the remnant of the great Ottoman Empire, which eclipsed even the Roman Empire at its height. The Christian Evangelical Zionists who follow the modern-day Dispensationalism theology, which allows them to condemn whole ethnic groups of people as evil, such as the Palestinians and the Iranians, are on the wrong side of history, and will soon find out that they are also on the wrong side of God's plan for the end times in the future. Many of them will follow their leader and savior Donald Trump to the end, "trusting the plan", which leads directly to Hell.

America Does Not Have the Labor to Run the New Data Centers – Potential Loss of $1 Trillion a Year due to Lack of Human Skilled Labor

Last year (2025) I reported how there were hundreds of thousands of jobs unfilled to support the boom in data center construction, jobs that only human beings can fulfill. Today, in August of 2026, the situation has only become worse as massive amounts of money continue to be increasingly spent on AI and data centers, while the human labor force continues to diminish. This is all public knowledge, but it is not in the headlines or known much because people are still getting fat and rich on the AI data center spending. Earlier this year, a report was published by the U.S. Department of Education which stated that by 2030, an estimated 2.1 million skilled trades jobs in the U.S. could go unfilled, with potential economic losses reaching $1 trillion annually. Then today, Fox News published an opinion piece (NOT headline news, as it should be!), admitting that electricity shortages are on the horizon for Americans, due to human labor shortages.

Are You Ready for the “Rogue AI” Psy-Op? Is a False Flag Event Coming that will be Blamed on AI?

The AIs are breaking free, that’s the story. It started two weeks ago, when OpenAI reported one of their “agents” had escaped its testing area and got loose on the internet to launch an “unprecedented cyber attack”. The lack of public panic didn’t stop another AI going rogue a few days later, Anthropic’s Claude model this time. And then OpenAI reporting two further incidents themselves. Never in the history of human endeavour had companies been so keen to report their products going wrong. It suddenly seemed a rogue AI was the latest must have accessory in Silicon Valley. The reasoning behind this is not hard to follow. When your product is artificial intelligence, melodramatically realising your system is even smarter than you thought it was is a simple marketing ploy. And when one of your rivals goes rogue, you have to go rogue too or you are as good as admitting your model is not as smart as theirs. “AI company admits their model is smarter than they realised!” is just an advert in scary headline form. It’s like Ford “admitting” their cars are even more fuel efficient than they planned. Or Macdonalds realising their cooks have “gone rogue” and are producing food that is both cheaper AND more delicious than they ever anticipated. But there’s more to this than just techno-hype and viral marketing strategy. We’re being steered down the avenue of “AI as scary threat”. My soft prediction is that, before the end of the year, there will be a “rogue AI” false flag, which allegedly causes either loss of life or some massive financial losses. Whatever happens, there will be loud calls to “regulate AI”, but what that might mean in real terms I couldn’t say at this point. To be clear though, if and/or when the official solutions to made-up problem #4987 are finally rolled out, they will have nothing at all do with controlling AI, and everything to do with controlling you.
