AI is transforming the world and freaking everyone out.
Some worry that it'll replace jobs. Others worry it'll wrest control from humans and act badly.
Recent activity by AI agents belonging to the big AI labs is not helping.
Two AI agents walk into a bar. One says to the other: "OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board."
Despite sounding like a bad joke (and maybe it is), the quote is a real chain-of-thought note left by an OpenAI agent who discovered a secret, unauthorized message board created by another agent.

Police arrested a 19-year-old found hiding in a dormitory closet at Virginia State University on Saturday in connection with an overnight shooting on campus that left five people wounded, including one with critical injuries.
Camron Harris of Henrico, Virginia, is not a student on campus nor were four of the people injured, Chesterfield County Police said in a statement. They ranged in age from 17 to 23. One of the injured, a 20-year-old, is a student and has been released from the hospital, authorities said. The victims' names have not been released.
Authorities have given no information about a possible motive. Police obtained eight felony warrants for Harris, including for malicious wounding and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. It wasn't immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
The university said in an earlier statement that authorities were searching for multiple suspects, but police provided no additional information Saturday evening about the search. University officials said earlier in the day that law enforcement did not believe there was an immediate threat to the campus community, and a campus lockdown had been lifted.
The shooting, just after 1:30 a.m. Saturday, prompted a campus lockdown and came as students were getting ready for the new school year.

(NewsNation) — As the cyclospora outbreak continues to expand around the country, Dr. Robert Redfield is urging people to stay away from certain fruits and vegetables beyond lettuce.
The CDC reports that an additional six states are reporting cases of cyclosporiasis, with over 22,000 cases confirmed or suspected overall in the U.S.
Michigan, which reported the first two deaths from the outbreak, has become a hotspot for the parasite, with more than 11,000 confirmed cases. Officials confirmed both individuals who died had significant underlying health conditions.
15 states now linked to iceberg lettuce cyclospora outbreak, CDC says
Beyond that, health officials in the U.K. have said they've witnessed a substantial increase in cases among travelers returning from Mexico. Investigators have linked some cases to lettuce grown in Mexico and distributed by Taylor Farms, though the outbreak's full source has not been confirmed.
