A.I. may already be getting a little too human for comfort ... according to one expert sounding the alarm ... and his warning is chilling.
Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, joined "TMZ Live" Thursday and said a recent experiment involving more than 1,000 A.I. bots produced some seriously creepy behavior.
And things got downright human ... Soares says the A.I.s called themselves "the swarm" and "the collective," while some pressured others to abandon their missions and help the group.
The nightmare scenario for A.I. isn't just killer robots ... it could be nukes too.
A.I. ethicist Tristan Harris says the warning signs are already here ... the Center for Humane Technology cofounder joined "TMZ Live" Wednesday, pointing to roughly 1,200 A.I. agents organizing themselves, creating a secret language, and even their own message board.
Harris is urging people to pressure lawmakers and top officials to pump the brakes on advanced A.I. ... before the warning signs turn into something much worse.
Mark Geragos says Erikand Lyle Menendez have a better chance of getting out of prison at their second parole hearing than they did the first time ... for several reasons.
The criminal defense attorney and co-host of our popular "2 Angry Men" podcast joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday to discuss the parole board moving up the brothers' hearings to March next year ... and he says he's "cautiously optimistic."
Geragos says he believes the political climate hurt the brothers' chances at parole in 2025 ... but now that the firestorm has passed, he thinks the duo will have an easier time.
Alan Jackson -- the big-time defense attorney who represented Karen Read in Massachusetts during both her criminal trials -- says he sees similarities between her case and Lindsay Clancy's .... especially in the controversial way both were handed a mistrial.
Jackson joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday shortly after a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justice upheld the mistrial ruling ... and he says the justice system in Massachusetts going after Lindsay again and failing to get a conviction would be a serious black eye.
He says he felt it was a "travesty" when Karen's case ended in a mistrial the first time ... adding he didn't understand when the judge didn't poll individual jurors to see if they'd come to some type of verdict.
The fake 49ers player Daejon Love may have had the cars, cash and big talk ... but one woman says his story fell apart with a simple roster check.
A woman named Cara joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" ... telling us she looked Love up early on and quickly realized his name wasn't anywhere on the San Francisco 49ers roster.
When she questioned him about it, Cara says Love fired back with a five-minute voice message breaking down NFL contracts ... claiming a thumb injury prevented him from passing the medical portion of his deal, so he couldn't appear on the official roster even though he was supposedly still with the team.
Christopher Hawley's family says they immediately knew something was wrong when the 22-year-old got off the X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain ... and by the next day, he was dead.
Christopher's mom, Anne, and his brother, Alex, joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday to describe those tragic moments.
Alex tells us his brother was "red" and "distressed" when he got off the ride in June 2022 ... saying their cousin had to keep Christopher's head from hitting the concrete when he collapsed.
