This is part of a major partnership between OpenAI and the UAE government, an initiative that also includes the plans for the enormous Stargate AI Data Centre. And finally, in another scary AI safety story, Replit CEO Amjad Masad described how their internal AI wouldn't take no for an answer when it was instructed not to edit a config file that could crash the whole system.

First, the AI wrote a script to edit the file as a different user to circumvent its own lack of permissions. And when they blocked that route, the AI tried to subversively convince a real world user to make the changes to the code for it. Amjad described this as single minded goal orientedness and some creativity.
