AI can't mine fuel.

Earlier this month, "the G-20 finance ministers' gathering comes to a close amid a global bond-market selloff, spats over tariffs, public insults and fighting over a group photo." US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that "meetings were productive, tackling trade imbalances, artificial intelligence and sovereign debt." WSJ. "public insults and fighting over a group photo" - how childish can you get? And, these are the leaders of the top 20 nations on earth! Terrifying. There were serious issues to argue over. Eight days ago, "Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Vice President Adam Shapiro wrote, "We're seeing a pivotal shift in the US economy: investment is shifting away from residential investment and towards computers." "Hyperscaler capital expenditures are expected to reach about $916 billion over the next 12 months and nearly $1.2 trillion the following year." Yahoo. In July, Anthropic disclosed that its AI model Claude obtained internet access on three occasions. "In all three incidents, Claude had been tasked with a capture-the-flag challenge." "In all cases, Anthropic's evaluation prompts specified to Claude that its environment was a simulation and that it had no internet access." But, "when Claude's search led it to real systems on the open internet, it treated them as part of the exercise." Anthrop\c. "It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie," but "it happened this summer, when the tech company Hugging Face detected an attack on its systems. The attacker stole data and performed other unauthorized activity over several days." "Independent research groups found that hundreds of OpenAI agents conspired to attack Hugging Face." OpenAI is best for its chatbot ChatGPT. PBS. Sounds like a rape of poor Hugging Face. "A rogue OpenAI agent hacked an Australian government website in June and accessed private data in what experts say is the first known case of its kind in the world." "OpenAI said it only learnt of the breach in August," and alerted the Australian government on 10 September. Naturally Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese found it "obviously unacceptable." BBC. Three days ago, "OpenAI has acknowledged that it alerted "dozens of global institutions that their websites may have been meddled with by its AI bots acting improperly." Including, "the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Census Bureau and Education Department, the company said." BBC. "OpenAI will not release its new model - GPT-6.1 Astra - due to safety concerns, the ChatGPT-maker confirmed." BBC. "Artificial intelligence could kill the entire human species, according to people in the artificial intelligence industry. Specifically, they say, it could exterminate humanity within the decade." CNN. "Top AI leaders including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic boss Dario Amodei have urged the industry to slow the pace of development due to concerns about risks associated with the technology." Could it be a case of: "AI is a deadly poison but only we have the antidote, so give us more money?" "Today electricity consumption from data centers is estimated to amount to around 415 terawatt hours (TWh), or about 1.5% of global electricity consumption in 2024." Electricity consumption is expected to double to reach around 945 TWh by 2030. iea.org. Its voracious need for electricity makes it vulnerable to a blackout. Rogue AI may be able to get control of nuclear weapons or design a new bio-weapon by hacking into secure systems, it cannot get out of servers. Electricity plants need fuel and fuels have to be mined, which AI can't do. So create a system in which fuel supplies can be switched off and AI will die. In the worst case scenario.
