Anthropic calls for pause of global AI development

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic suggested Thursday a global pause on building the most powerful AI systems as the latest models are beginning to show signs they could escape human control.

The San Francisco-based company, which makes the Claude family of AI models, said in a report that a worldwide slowdown in cutting-edge AI development would "likely be a good thing" -- but warned that if only one company stopped, rivals would simply race ahead.

Here's a new milestone in the internet history.

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince announced that automated bot traffic has officially overtaken human traffic across the internet for the first time in history.

Prince noted that he previously predicted this milestone wouldn't happen until sometime in 2027, admitting on X, "Welp, that happened faster than I predicted... agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online."

According to Cloudflare Radar's worldwide tracking data, the share of global internet traffic is now split roughly as follows:

Bot Traffic: ~57.5% of web requests
Human Traffic: ~42.5% of web requests

Don't misunderstand; this is not only spam bots. This is the result of AI bots.

My question is this, AI is based on human input basically. If we start using AI to compose stuff then there won't be any new information because AI bots are not walking on the road to find news. Then what happens? I think we can charge money for crawling AI bots if we have our own blogs, right?

With all the misinformation campaigns on social media, and very biased websites like Wikipedia, the information given by AI will be increasingly wrong.

No. A big NO. AI depends on the training data and training patterns. If you ask Gemini a political question it always shows bias to the western views and propaganda.
One day, having nothing useful to do, I argued with Gemini until it accepted that its training data could be biased and truth may not be coming out.
