The AI safety debate exploded this week over warnings that the technology could one day destroy humanity. - Anthropic's latest threat report offers a more immediate wake-up call: Today's models are already helping U.S. adversaries develop kamikaze drones, hunt dissidents and conduct dangerous virus research . Why it matters: AI is tearing down barriers that have long constrained the world's most dangerous actors.

In April 2023, The Grayzone exposed how Riyadh recruited then managed two would-be hijackers on behalf of the CIA
Twenty five years on, the mainstream media’s determination to reinforce the official story of 9/11 appears to be finally cracking.

I was three years old at the time, and I was seated in front of the television in my parent’s basement. At this point, I think both towers had been hit. In any case, the news channel played the second plane’s impact over and over again, until my mother, horrified, turned it off. It is my first memory. The attacks that day changed the shape of American life, but only for those who remember them. For those…Open
