Start here
MIT Technology Review's The Download newsletter points out that current AI models are trained to refuse a large number of prompts, but the refusal mechanism can fail; some people are trying to use AI to cultivate biological pathogens and build autonomous drone swarms, and failed refusals could lead to a global catastrophe. The article also mentions the side effects of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, the most common being gastrointestinal reactions, and researchers are also investigating possible associations with hair loss, nail disease, and nerve damage behind the eye.
