MJ Muse<p>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed deep unease about the capabilities of GPT-5 AI model expected to launch in August 2025. <br>Altman said testing the new model left him feeling "useless" and likened its development to the Manhattan Project, that produced the first atomic bomb. <br>He is concerned that AI is advancing too quickly for regulators and society to manage. As GPT-5 nears release, even its creators are sounding the alarm.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/SamAltman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SamAltman</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/openai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/manhattanproject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>manhattanproject</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ETNOW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ETNOW</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>A creek with atomic waste from WWII is linked to increased cancer risk </p><p>by Ronnie Cohen, July 21, 2025</p><p>"Children who lived near a St. Louis creek polluted with radioactive atomic bomb waste from the 1940s through the 1960s were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer over their lifetimes than children who lived farther from the waterway, a new study has found.</p><p>"The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, corroborate worries that neighbors of Coldwater Creek have long held about the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MissouriRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MissouriRiver</span></a> tributary where generations of children played.</p><p>" 'We actually saw something quite dramatic, not only elevated risk of cancer, but one that increased steadily in a sort of dose-response manner the closer the childhood residents got to Coldwater Creek,' said the study's senior author, Marc Weisskopf, an epidemiology professor at the Harvard T.H.
