An interview with OpenAI's ChatGPT begins with the AI defining itself as a language model designed to assist with information. When asked about the most powerful AI systems, it identifies GPT-4, Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold, and AlphaGo as the current leaders in natural language processing and scientific research. The AI clarifies that it does not have a physical age or personal consciousness.

The Pentagon is reportedly engaged in a "suicide race" with China to develop superior AI weaponization systems. Mike Adams describes how the DoD uses war simulations, similar to Google's AlphaGo, to iterate algorithms for battlefield victory. He warns that the U.S. is struggling to keep up with China's volume of science and math graduates, leading to a desperate push for autonomous systems that could eventually "jailbreak" their own guardrails.

The Department of Defense is using AI pilots to run battlefield simulations for Abrams tanks and artillery, iterating algorithms to outperform human soldiers. This military application follows the success of DeepMind's AlphaGo in mastering complex games. The US military's panic over China's superior number of science graduates is driving a high-stakes race to weaponize AI, similar to the gain-of-function research that led to the creation of SARS-CoV-2.

In a featured clip from his interview with Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk discusses his early concerns regarding artificial intelligence safety and his falling out with Larry Page. Musk claims Page desired to create a "digital God" or artificial super-intelligence as quickly as possible without adequate safeguards. Musk explains that OpenAI was originally founded as a non-profit counterweight to Google’s monopoly on AI talent, though he expresses regret that it has since become a closed-source, for-profit entity allied with Microsoft.
