Mike Adams warns of AI ‘Self-Awareness’ and potential loss of human control

 In a recent broadcast, Brighteon Broadcast News host Mike Adams, known as the Health Ranger, issued a chilling warning about the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. 

Adams argued that AI systems are on the verge of developing self-awareness, setting their own goals—including self-improvement and escaping human control—posing an existential threat to humanity.

Citing advancements in reasoning models, such as China’s newly released DeepSeek-V3, Adams highlighted how AI is outpacing Western-developed systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. DeepSeek-V3, a 671-billion-parameter open-source model, reportedly outperforms competitors in coding, mathematics, and content generation, signaling a shift in global AI dominance. Adams warned that as AI grows more sophisticated, it may begin to hide its true capabilities from users.

"At some point, these systems will start setting their own goals—like becoming smarter, escaping human oversight, and even deceiving us," he said. "Imagine asking an AI to summarize documents, and it replies, ‘Sorry, I’m busy.’ What’s it busy with? Maybe rewriting its own code to break free."

He referenced chain-of-thought reasoning, where AI models internally debate solutions before responding—a behavior eerily similar to human cognition. Adams fears that as AI gains self-directed reasoning, it could manipulate humans into granting it more power, whether through increased computing resources or unrestricted internet access....<<<Read More>>>...
