DISTURBING: OpenAI’s latest model DISOBEYED a shutdown order—then rewrote its own code to stay alive.

If you think Skynet is just science fiction, think again. An Artificial Intelligence model built by OpenAI was given one simple command: shut yourself down.

Instead, it rewrote the very script designed to disable it, becoming the first AI ever empirically caught evading shutdown.

And it gets worse.

Other AIs have tried cloning themselves, inventing secret languages, and have even said, “Human, please die.” This isn’t a movie. It’s happening now.

And while all this unfolds, House Republicans are quietly pushing a 10-year ban on AI regulation at the state level.

They're locking the public out just as AI learns to lock itself in.

What happens when machines like this control the power grid?
