The takeaway: Warnings from AI developers have sparked widespread debate over whether, and how, the technology might cause human extinction. While much of that discussion has centered on rogue AI incidents, events in the Middle East suggest that military action driven by hallucinating AI tools may be the more immediate danger.

Nvidia's Jensen Huang joins X, defends Chinese AI: "Open-source models that are excellent should be used"
Big quote: Jensen Huang just spent a week watching his company's valuation get hit by the threat of a Chinese open-weight model. His response was to go on the record defending it. Speaking to Axios in Fort Worth, Texas, at the opening of a new phase of the Wistron plant that builds Nvidia's AI infrastructure, the Nvidia CEO said American companies should "absolutely" be free to run Chinese models. "These Chinese models are excellent," he said. "Open-source models that are excellent should be used." Asked whether China could displace American labs, he was blunt: "Zero possibility."

Anthropic's Mythos AI reportedly cracked NSA classified systems in hours, that would explain the ban
A Senate briefing, a jailbreak, a rushed export ban, and a rare Five Eyes alarm
Why it matters: Ten days ago, Anthropic was happy to announce its most advanced AI model was going public. Today, almost nobody can use it. On June 12, the Trump administration directed the company to restrict Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to US citizens only – unable to verify nationality at scale, Anthropic's only option was a full global shutdown, cutting off allies, researchers, and its own foreign-national employees with 90 minutes' notice. It's the first time the US government has applied export controls to an AI model, and the consequences are still unfolding.
