DeepSeek's Cheap AI Model Is a Sign of What's Coming—5 AI Trends You ...

It’s not a new thing to feel manipulated in this algorithmic world we inhabit.

We have heard warnings before.

Check this video out.

We are on the brink of an amazing new super intelligence that will make our world a better place. Who is warning us that there may be a problem?

What scares the pants off me right now is that the AI Chiefs, these demigods of algorithmic hell, are now telling us that AI development has to slow down.

As I did with Project 2025, I read the playbook of the Orange Führer and his rodeo of former Fox News faces before they were elected. I did this to get an idea of what was ahead.

You did not need to be Dick Tracy to see that they gave us what they had written down with a cherry on top. Fascism and first-class criminal activity have taken hold in America like algae in a reflecting pool. Maybe the midterms will start the reckoning.

Or it could be a wrecking ball. We have about 7 weeks to see what comes of it. Blue or Red waves, all I know is that country called ‘Merica needs some systemic change if it is to survive.

But let’s get back to the existential threat….

This appeared weeks ago in the New York Times:
Dario Amodei, the chief executive of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, published a 3,800-word open letter on Saturday calling for a slowdown in the development of A.I.

The essay prompted other A.I. leaders, including Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI; Elon Musk, SpaceX’s chief executive; and Demis Hassabis, the chair of Google DeepMind, to speak out in agreement. (NYT 13 September 2026)

This was not weeks ago. It’s hard to keep track of time even with a watch.

This was published in the last couple of days. Give it a read.

For just a moment, I felt the world was coming together and then I realised it was not the world. This was an announcement by Dario and then backed up by his fellow demigods of AI.

Gods, Supreme being, evil, samsara, demigods, monsters, epic battle ... — “We will slow things down for you”

I smacked myself in the head and thought, “Why are the people who are building this algorithmic, super-intelligent nightmare ‘warning’ us about their developments”?

Trying to make sense of this, I decided to see if anyone out in the land of writers and journalists was peeking behind the curtain of power. If someone could explain to me why these warnings sounded like a siren, but no one knows what to do when they hear that siren. In short, who do we trust to act on the warnings?

I stumbled upon someone who understands AI a whole bunch better than I do. His name is Hamilton Mann and here is a bit about him:

Hamilton Mann is an AI researcher, award-winning author, technology executive, lecturer at INSEAD and HEC Paris, mentor at the MIT Priscilla King Gray Center, and Executive Chairman and President of the Artificial Integrity Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing AI systems that prioritize integrity over intelligence. Mann also serves as Group Vice President at Thales, a global leader in Defense, Aerospace, and Cyber & Digital, where he co-leads global Digital and AI transformations. He conducts doctoral research at École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées–Institut Polytechnique de Paris. (https://www.hamiltonmannconversation.com/hamiltonmann)

“There are times when a civilisation hears the alarm and mistakes the sound for action. We are living through one.

Jacob Coxon, after working at OpenAI and Anthropic, put the matter with brutal simplicity: “Do not underestimate the power of this technology.”

A pause might buy time. But time for what?

If tomorrow’s moratorium ends with precisely the same companies retaining the same concentrated authority to self-build, self-deploy, self-evaluate and self-authorize increasingly consequential algorithmic systems to enter society, then we have delayed the question, not answered it.

To truly understand what is taking place with this power and the checks and balances that are truly required, please educate yourself and read this piece. It’s not technical. It is a mirror.” (Hamilton Mann-Forbes-Opinion-9-9-26)

In short, I do not trust the alarms when the alarms are set off by the people in power.

Well, of course, the alarm bells have been set off by an ex-Anthropic employer named Jacob Coxson. His media reach since making these claims that AI will eliminate humanity has been far reaching.

Something smells off, like a house guest that just won’t leave.

Like the bottom of the bin in the kitchen when the bag has leaked and you failed to clean it properly when you removed the full bag.
Like shit.

You may want to tune in to these folks to stay ahead of the curve.

Here is Jacob in case you missed him. Is it just me or does he remind you of Harry Potter?

You have been alerted….advised….jerked around….I don’t know.
