Tech oligarchs agree calling AI "too dangerous" way cooler than just admitting it doesn't work
SILICON VALLEY - The CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and GrokAI have released a statement agreeing that claiming artificial intelligence "could potentially kill all humans" sounds much more awesome than just admitting that they blew a fortune on glorified chatbots.
![In an email to employees viewed by Aftermath, Braff downplayed the significance of Obsidian’s new status, calling it “primarily a change in reporting structure.”
"The creative identity and strengths that make Obsidian distinct will remain at the core of their studio and work,” Braff wrote. "[CEO] Feargus [Urquhart] and the Obsidian leadership team will continue to lead Obsidian, with the studio reporting to me. Bethesda Game Studios will continue to lead the Fallout franchise. Together, the teams will build on their longstanding relationship and the early work already underway on a new Fallout project, with more to share in the months ahead. This structure supports the franchise-led model we've been strengthening while keeping accountability for both the studio and the franchise clear."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreihqkjnanr43gm7mdtsnrg5qjjgjv75jmaezquhwz44l25smw2vsd4)

LNG Canada Phase 2
Laklaran [LEKWUNGEN] TERRITORY / VICTORIA, B.C. — "I'm deeply disappointed to see LNG Canada Phase 2 move ahead with the Final Investment Decision - and to see both the BC NDP, Conservatives all applaud this move, while committing to further expansion of oil and gas throughout our province.
LNG Canada is an entirely foreign-owned project. It is owned by Shell, one of the most profitable companies in history, several foreign state-owned oil companies, and US private equity. LNG Canada's owners also own the fracking operations in the Peace that feed the project. The profits from LNG development flow directly to shareholders and governments abroad, while the costs stay here. Families in Kitimat and Terrace are already living with the health effects: dirtier air, rising asthma rates, and rogue flares lighting up the sky. And for all the public money and all the risk, Phase 2 will create a maximum of 150 permanent jobs.
These are nation-draining projects, and the BC Greens oppose taxpayer handouts to foreign investors. Every public dollar we pour into them digs us a deeper hole. That money should be building Canadian-owned industries that move our economy up the value chain.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ye6fhyor6bpm7ir3hc2xunpd/bafkreicmhriciziuuzlbn6ayntw6npajirfz5q2ehc5sgmygnbty24cycy)
