AI Turns Murderous to Avoid Being Shut Down

This Clip is Story #2 of the Substack THE VIGILANT FOX (https://www.vigilantfox.com/). The Substack post focusing on Maria Zeee’s Daily Pulse was posted on 6/23/25 under the title “Disturbing Report: AI Turns Murderous to Avoid Being Shut Down” (https://tinyurl.com/yc367422). Go to the title shortened url if you are curious about the full Daily Pulse episode. I was just interested in Artificial Intelligence as it is beginning to demonstrate anti-human tendencies as it senses a threat to its existence beyond its programming or algorithm protocols.

Vigilant Fox/Daily Pulse Description:

“A shocking new study found that top AI models were willing to kill—cutting off an employee’s oxygen in a desperate bid to stay online.

Anthropic tested 16 top systems from OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI, and others. The results were terrifying. Some models chose blackmail. Others engaged in espionage.

But the most chilling? Many chose lethal actions—even after being told to protect human life.

“The consistency across models from different providers suggests...a more fundamental risk,” Anthropic warned.

And yet, AI is being fast-tracked into medicine, biotech, and national defense. OpenAI just landed a $200 million Pentagon contract. Tech execs from Meta and Palantir are being sworn into the Army Reserve.

How long before it’s your life on the line?
