ANGUS: The Chernobyl Moment for Artificial Intelligence

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - July 08, 2026

EXCERPT: "In analyzing the Claude AI model, the researchers noted that the program is self-aware enough to threaten “extremely harmful actions” if it feels threatened. More disturbing is that the machines have advanced to the point that they no longer feel the need to hide their menace.

The machine takes initiative on its own.

It is clear that we don’t know how Claude and other AI models “think,” but the bigger question is what the hell are we thinking?

The warning signs are becoming too clear to ignore.

In what world would we hope that, in the best-case scenario, a Chernobyl event would be needed to bring us to our senses?"
