Trump declares war on AI guardrails https://nerds.xyz/2026/09/trump-ai-guardrails/

What are the odds AI kills us all?
There’s actually a term for it: P(doom).
Some of the biggest names in AI have tried to put a percentage on the possibility of catastrophic outcomes, including human extinction. But these numbers aren’t scientific measurements. Geoffrey Hinton has even described estimates like his as a “wild guess.”
That might be the strangest part. We are building increasingly powerful AI systems while openly debating the probability that humanity eventually loses control of them.
I love AI and use it every day. But P(doom) has gotten stuck in my head.
I really hope the people warning us are wrong. More importantly, I hope we’re around long enough to laugh about it.

Here’s how AI can actually kill us all.
Forget killer robots and rogue superintelligence. Anthropic says it identified five cases involving working scientists whose use of Claude touched research that could potentially support biological weapons development.
AI doesn’t need to become conscious or decide humanity should disappear. It may simply need to become useful enough to the wrong person.
That possibility scares me far more than science fiction.

Microsoft is drawing an age line around Copilot.
Children under 13 are now prohibited from using the AI service, while Microsoft is pushing a broader strategy built around age-aware experiences and online age verification.
Protecting kids makes sense. But there’s a difficult privacy question here too: How does the internet reliably determine someone’s age without requiring everyone to hand over even more personal information?
Microsoft thinks technology can strike that balance. I’m not convinced it will be easy.
