Tell the AI giants to stand together against killer robots The US Secretary of War is on a rampage. He’s trying to bully the world’s top AI companies to rip out their safety guardrails and "tailor" their models for Trump’s military. He wants to turn AI into a

Oooh…go on! You know you want to!

The Iranians have outmanoeuvred Trump. He expected retaliation, not punitive strikes on other states aligned with the West. It’s the Samson defence: bring the whole temple down.

Don't let your eyes fool you; this is exactly what it looks like... a modern-day American Gestapo. The USA is an absolute disgrace of a country.
