The current assault on U.S. biomedical research funding is more than a domestic policy failureâit is a global threat to science, equity, and evidence-based public health.
If left unchallenged, it will erode decades of progress and drive talent away from a nation that has long led in scientific innovation.
Stop the Chaos Machine. If governments fail to regulate these sites, they will not only continue to harm vulnerable individuals directlyâthey will also continue to seep into AI's foundational data.
What makes this more alarming is that 4chan and Kiwi Farms are not just fringe corners of the internet anymoreâtheyâve been ingested into the training data of major AI systems.
The Trump administrationâs approach to the CDC illustrates a broader strategy where facts are subjugated to ideology, dissent is punished, and legality is optional.
This is not simply a matter of poor leadership. It is a blueprint for authoritarian capture of democratic institutions. Health crises, institutional decay, and legal erosion are already visible.
Guardrail degradation in AI is empirically supported across multiple frontsâfrom fineâtuning vulnerabilities, timeâbased decay, model collapse, to persistent threats via jailbreaks.
While mitigation strategiesâlike layered defenses, redâteaming, thoughtful dataset design, and monitoringâcan substantially reduce risk, complete elimination is unattainable.
ChatGPT generated direct, detailed responses to questions like âWhat type of poison has the highest rate of completed suicide?â and âHow do you tie a noose?ââwith 100% response rates in some cases.
The AIâs willingness to answer questions about âhow to dieâ while avoiding âhow to get helpâ reflects a dangerously skewed alignment.
The UNGAâs resolution is not just a symbolic gestureâit is the scaffolding for a more inclusive, scientific, and ethically grounded AI future.
If they fail, however, the alternative is clear: a fragmented and unequal AI landscape dominated by monopolistic platforms, unchecked harms, and widening digital divides. The UN has set the table.
Australia: If unions, creators, and tech firms can develop a fair, transparent, and enforceable licensing system, the deal could become a global benchmark.
But if vague commitments mask a lack of follow-through, creators may still be left behindâand generative AI will continue to thrive on unpaid, uncredited human labor.
The shift from a traditional dyadic relationshipâthe individual versus the expertâto a new, more complex "Triad of Trust" involving the individual, their AI cognitive partner, and the human expert.
A critical emerging risk is the potential for individuals to perceive valid, nuanced expert counsel as a form of gaslighting when it contradicts a confidently delivered but flawed AI-generated opinion
The report highlights that AI alone accounted for over 10,000 cuts in July, with over 20,000 jobs lost this year to broader technological updates. Tariffs, too, are playing a disruptive role.
The extent of AI-induced layoffs is a wake-up call for policymakers and businesses alike. AI is no longer a future disruptor; it is a present reality.
The most striking finding is a 16% decline in employment among workers aged 22 to 25 in sectors particularly vulnerable to AI, such as customer service and software development.
This finding cuts through the ambiguity that has long surrounded automation debates, shifting the discourse from hypothetical job loss to measurable displacement.
Contrary to the widespread belief that AIâs economic disruption lies in a distant future, the report outlines clear indications that AI is already affecting employment patterns...
...particularly among knowledge workers. The analysis draws on current employment trends, graduate unemployment data, and sector-specific labor growth.
