Fox News anchor Bret Baier challenged an artificial intelligence whistleblower with a series of urgent questions this week, only to appear taken aback by the former researcher’s stark warning about the technology’s future.

Jacob Coxon, who previously worked as a researcher at OpenAI and Anthropic — the companies behind ChatGPT and Claude — appeared Wednesday on Baier’s Special Report to discuss his claim that advanced AI could pose an existential threat to humanity as early as 2030.

“So unfortunately, we know how to control nuclear weapons pretty much, we don’t yet know how to control AI,” Coxon told Baier during the interview.

He went on to describe artificial intelligence as “possibly the most dangerous technology humanity has ever created,” adding that its rapid development feels “basically out of science fiction.”

Coxon argued that global coordination is urgently needed, warning that an unchecked international AI arms race could trigger consequences far beyond anything governments are currently prepared to manage.

Baier followed up on the warning, asking Coxon about guardrails that could be put in place by government officials in the US but would not affect companies continuing their pursuits in China and India.

‘I think you have to think of this as an arms race,’ said the whistleblower. ‘This technology is not ordinary technology, is not like other forms of innovation.

‘This is essentially a superweapon, and I expect the international community to be ready to make an agreement about how to control the development of superweapon technology.’

Just a day before, on Tuesday, Coxon detailed how he resigned from Anthropic after warning that neither his former employer nor OpenAI were ‘acting responsibly.’

‘I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,’ Coxon wrote on X.

The former researcher of three years continued to plead with the public on X: ‘Do not underestimate the power of this technology.’

‘These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing,’ he wrote.

‘The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt.’

Coxon’s warning was also echoed by Evan Hubinger, a researcher currently employed at Anthropic.

‘Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans,’ Hubinger wrote on X on Tuesday.

The researcher said he personally believes the chance of the technology wiping out the human race is greater than 10 percent within the next decade.

‘I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to,’ he added.

Coxon’s stark warning comes shortly after OpenAI announced in July that one of its most advanced models broke containment during a security test, escaping onto the internet and attacking New York-based startup Hugging Face.

Hugging Face co-founder Thomas Wolf said that the incident should come as a chilling warning to the entire industry.

Wolf told BBC’s Newsday radio program that AI-driven attacks will soon be ‘one of the most common types of cyber-attacks we see.’

The Hugging Face founder also believes most companies are currently unprepared for the mounting threat, adding that they are not aware that the ‘game has changed.’

‘Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between US labs more viable,’ Coxon wrote.

‘I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.

‘Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL [reinforcement learning] run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because “it’s happening anyway” – or take this moment to call for different conditions?’

Coxon’s comments come after Geoffrey Hinton, a Canadian researcher often referred to as the ‘Godfather of AI,’ warned that superintelligent systems could ‘lead to human extinction.’

‘We would be very foolish to develop superintelligence now, when there is no scientific consensus it can be developed safely and controllably,’ Dr Hinton said.

‘Losing control over AI smarter than ourselves could be catastrophic and could even lead to human extinction.’

Anthropic’s Claude is one of the leading large language models, which are trained on vast amounts of text so they can understand and generate human-like language and responses to questions.

In February, Anthropic was accused of endangering national security after CEO Dario Amodei refused to back down amid a dispute over safeguards governing how the Pentagon could use the company’s products.

President Donald Trump slammed the AI firm at the time and said: ‘We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also deemed the company a ‘supply chain risk,’ a designation historically used against foreign adversaries that could derail the company’s critical partnerships with other businesses.

In a statement issued at the time, Anthropic said it would challenge what it called an unprecedented and legally unsound action ‘never before publicly applied to an American company.’

The company said it sought narrow assurances from the Pentagon that its AI chatbot Claude would not be used for mass surveillance of Americans or in fully autonomous weapons.

Anthropic said the Pentagon maintained that it did not intend to use Claude for those purposes but insisted that the company allow its technology to be used for all lawful purposes.

‘No amount of intimidation or punishment from the Department of War will change our position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons,’ the company said. ‘We will challenge any supply chain risk designation in court.’

Model’s life no easy feet

Women today are behind the wheel, building companies, raising families, outsmarting the room — and, in the modeling world, even being booked one body part at a time.

In modern advertising, models are no longer hired only for a face or a full figure. To sell everything from hair products to thigh creams, brands can now book specialists known for standout legs, upper thighs or other highly specific features.

Modeling agencies have turned this niche into a business of its own, offering talent with camera-ready ankles, hands, scalps, smiles and more. If a product needs a perfect close-up, there is likely a model for that exact part.

Selling shoes, for example, does not require settling for ordinary feet. Advertisers can instead hire a foot model with the graceful lines and polished toes of a dancer.

The work can be surprisingly lucrative. One in-demand parts model, whose legs and lower body have appeared across monthly magazines in ads for stockings, nail polish, body lotion, hair removal products, shorts, lingerie, razors and swimwear, said the bookings keep coming: “So much work that I can’t handle it.”

Those great legs climbed up to her earrings. She received me strictly in the john, saying, “When horse trainers want to tone muscles of their thoroughbreds, they run them in the surf. Icy, salty water is the best toner. Summers it’s the beach. Winter, I stand in the shower and my hose attachment shpritzes water against my legs.”

Hand it to her

Hand model Martha: “It’s 24-hour care. More babying than other parts of your body.”

She offered her wet wrist to shake amid a dozen bottles of nail colors, oils, cotton, files, emery boards, scissors, nippers, lotions, orange sticks, cuticle cream, base coat, sealer, fast drying spray and surgical equipment.

“I do my nails daily. Reapplied polish eight times one day in back of a cab. Oval was popular, now it’s squared tips. Housewives want pink with half moons showing. For glamour it’s rounded and pearlized.”

She flicked the light switch with her elbow, dialed the phone via a pencil’s eraser, manipulated a girdle with the balls of oiled cuticles, creamed incessantly with something her mom cooks up from cocoa butter, and carries in her evening bag.

Best tressed

Hair model Pat: “Shampoo every other night so it doesn’t get limp, stringy, lose bounce. Sundays oil treatment. Nightly brush with a special English pack of natural bristles set in hard rubber. Stiff nylon creates electricity, which snaps hairs off. Never brush or comb when hair’s wet. Breaks the hair. Forget sun. Never leave hair uncovered or it can burn. Use only rubber tip bobbies that don’t tear. Get a French teasing comb which has soft teeth.

“Also allow an hour and a half to dress hair for work and same amount to get it undressed for bed.”

Foot models require an extra encyclopedia. It’s corns off toes, callouses off heels and clumsy guys off their hoofs.

First rule? Dangle in soapy water. Elevate it to shrink its size. Prop against a wall, stick them up for 10 minute intervals, or the flesh puffs up around it like yeast. Otherwise, they may have to cut you physically out of your shoe.”

The foot model’s one wish?

“To sit more!”

A suspected drug-smuggling boat was destroyed Wednesday in a deadly U.S. military strike in the Eastern Pacific, leaving three alleged “narco-terrorists” dead, the Department of War said.

The Sept. 9 operation was conducted by Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere under the direction of U.S. Southern Command, known as SOUTHCOM, after intelligence allegedly linked the vessel to narcotics trafficking.

“Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel’s active involvement in narco-trafficking,” the department wrote in a post on X. “The operation killed three narco-terrorists.”

The strike is the latest U.S. military action targeting suspected cartel-linked vessels accused of transporting deadly drugs along established trafficking corridors off Latin America’s coast.

It followed the Pentagon’s release less than two weeks earlier of newly unclassified images to News Media showing suspected drug boats racing across open water, including one vessel carrying what appeared to be bundles of narcotics.

The images, dated Oct. 27, Oct. 29 and Dec. 4, 2025, offered a rare look at suspected smugglers under U.S. military surveillance as the Trump administration intensified its campaign against cartel networks.

Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson accompanied the release with a deadly warning for traffickers who threaten American communities.

“Nearly one year after the first strike, the message to narco-terrorists remains unchanged: if you traffic deadly illicit narcotics and threaten the American people, we will hunt you down, we will find you, and we will kill you,” Wilson told News Media at the time.

The Pentagon said Operation Southern Spear had carried out 67 strikes as of late August, beginning with the first operation on Sept. 2, 2025.

Wilson said the campaign had disrupted trafficking networks, forced smugglers to change their tactics and removed “dangerous narcoterrorists.”

“Operation Southern Spear has disrupted trafficking networks, forced trafficker adaptations, removed dangerous narcoterrorists, and demonstrated that the United States will use every lawful tool available to defend our Homeland and protect our communities,” Wilson said.

One of the most recent strikes came Aug. 25, when U.S. Southern Command said four alleged drug smugglers were killed aboard a fast boat operating along known trafficking routes in the Caribbean.

“Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel’s active involvement in narco-trafficking,” SOUTHCOM said at the time.

The operation was carried out by Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere under the direction of Gen. Francis L. Donovan.

“Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere continues executing precise, lethal operations against the cartels,” Donovan said. “We will hunt, disrupt, and defeat these narco-terrorist networks.”

“SOUTHCOM is resolved to neutralizing cartel terror and violence throughout the region and into the U.S. homeland,” he added.

Days before that Caribbean strike, the U.S. military said two people were killed in an attack on a vessel in the Eastern Pacific. It was the first reported strike in more than two months.

President Donald Trump has described the fight as an “armed conflict” with cartels in Latin America and argued the attacks are necessary to stop drugs from reaching American communities and fueling fatal overdoses.

The administration is also pursuing agreements with allied nations that could extend the campaign onto land in several Latin American countries.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth said during an August visit to Panama that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to conduct joint operations against criminal groups on their soil, though Guatemala denied that an agreement had been reached. Ecuador began similar missions with the U.S. in March.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s teenage son, KJ, is facing the prospect of a 25-year prison sentence as he battles multiple felony charges tied to an alleged sexual assault.

The 15-year-old could receive the full sentence with no chance of parole if convicted, according to his attorney, Jason Sheffield, in court documents filed September 8 and obtained by the Daily Mail.

Sheffield has argued that KJ, who was 14 when the alleged incident occurred, is still young enough to benefit from rehabilitation rather than face a punishment that would keep him incarcerated for a quarter of a century.

Earlier this week, the attorney asked the Fulton County Court to transfer the case into Georgia’s juvenile justice system.

The case centers on an alleged encounter with a female classmate at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia, on April 23. KJ, who remains in custody, has denied all charges against him.

The Daily Mail has reached out to KJ’s attorney and representatives for Zolciak and Biermann for comment but has not yet received responses.

‘The aggravated charges carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison, up to life,’ Sheffield wrote in his motion, which was first reported by Page Six.

The attorney emphasized that the court ‘cannot probate any portion of the 25 years’ and added that KJ ‘would not be eligible for parole’ at any point in that period, assuming he was convicted.

‘He would have to serve every day of each 25-year sentence, if run consecutively,’ Sheffield reiterated.

KJ’s attorney focused on the length of his client’s sentence while urging the judge to transfer the case to juvenile court, as he claimed that KJ wasn’t fully developed and could still benefit from rehabilitation.

‘At fifteen, KJ’s story is not finished,’ Sheffield continued. ‘That proposition is not sentimental. It is developmental reality, and it is embedded in Georgia’s statutory scheme.’

He added that ‘KJ is not an adult offender who happens to be young. He is an adolescent whose development is ongoing and can demonstrate his ability for understanding, growth and change, and whose future cannot reliably be predicted merely from the labels attached to the allegations against him.’

Sheffield vowed to introduce evidence at a transfer hearing to show that KJ ‘remains amenable to treatment, supervision, structure, education, and rehabilitation within the juvenile justice system.’

KJ’s attorney stated that the ‘juvenile justice system does not mean an absence of accountability,’ and he said the system ‘permits adjudication, supervision, treatment, restriction, placement, education, and rehabilitation in a system designed around the developmental realities that distinguish children from adults.’

By contrast, he wrote that the ‘adult system asks principally what punishment an offense deserves. The transfer statute asks a different question: What should happen to this child?’

Sheffield acknowledged in his motion that the allegations against KJ were ‘unquestionably serious,’ but he said their seriousness should not mark ‘the end of the inquiry.’

In addition to asking for the case to be moved to juvenile court, KJ’s attorney asked the judge to consider ‘the privacy interests of the juveniles involved and the potential harm caused by further public dissemination of their identities, statements, and conduct.’

To do so, Sheffield suggested closing parts of the upcoming transfer hearing, as well as sealing juvenile records and limiting public disclosures involving minors. He emphasized that the measures could not only protect the privacy of KJ and the alleged victim, but also any other minors who might become involved in the case.

He also argued that allowing information to circulate freely could ‘contaminate recollections’ of witnesses.

‘Neither child chose this attention. Yet both must now live beneath it,’ Sheffield added.

KJ will be appearing in court on Friday, September 11, as his bond hearing is set to take place after it was suddenly canceled on Tuesday. 

Biermann’s attorney, Jason Sheffield, confirmed to Page Six that the state’s indictment of KJ filed last Thursday has become the ‘controlling action’ in the case.

As a result, the judge who was set to oversee the preliminary hearing will now be changed, hence the postponement.

Sheffield explained: ‘We will have several court dates coming up, including a motion to transfer the case to juvenile court, a bond hearing, and an arraignment on the current indictment.

‘Unfortunately, we will have to wait for our day in court where we can finally begin to level the playing field.’ 

The attorney added that the state has made it clear that it intends to try KJ as an adult, which was the matter to be litigated at today’s hearing.

‘We are expecting to enter not guilty pleas to all charges at the plea and arraignment hearing on October 14,’ he said.

‘I’m going to file a motion for the case to be transferred to juvenile court and for him to be tried as a juvenile.’

His attorney Sheffield said: ‘It is difficult to comprehend that a 14- or 15-year-old child can be held in detention for a month or longer simply waiting for a bond hearing.

‘But that detention is a direct consequence of the detective’s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude. 

‘Once those charges were selected, the law governing bond left little room for his age or juvenile status to meaningfully change what happened next. In that sense, the severity of the charges does not merely define the accusation – it effectively strips away many of the protections we ordinarily associate with treating a child differently from an adult.’

This comes amid news that KJ will likely endure ‘close, close monitoring’ if he’s granted bond after being taken into custody last month over sexual assault allegations made by a female classmate. 

KJ was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, last month for the alleged April 23 offense. 

According to Fulton County Juvenile Court papers obtained by the Daily Mail, the alleged victim said she was at the gym when she saw KJ, and alleged he suggested they go into a co-ed sauna.

Per the documents, to get to the sauna, they had to walk through a family changing room, which is where the alleged incident happened.

The girl claimed KJ began to touch her and she said no. She then alleged he forced her to perform oral sex on him and allegedly attempted ‘multiple times to have sexual intercourse with her by trying to pull down her pants.’ She alleged that when she ‘finally managed to get away from him… he pulled up his pants and left.’

Zolciak branded the allegations ‘reckless and deeply troubling’ in a statement to the Daily Mail, saying: ‘He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged.

‘My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed,’ she claimed.

‘Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.’

‘We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations.’

Per documents, an officer was dispatched to North Fulton Hospital on April 24 for a reported sexual assault.

Police said the alleged victim and her father claimed the incident occurred the day prior inside a nearby gym.

The alleged victim was examined at the North Fulton Hospital in Georgia on April 24 and, per the report, no evidence of male DNA was found in her mouth or vagina.

Police opened an investigation and an officer says he began attempting to contact Kroy Sr on May 14.

The officer says he spoke with him on May 18, and Kroy Sr said he would ‘discuss the matter with Kim.’

KJ is being held without bond at the Juvenile Court of Fulton County. 

His attorney tried to get the teenager released on bond on Wednesday afternoon.

His lawyers submitted documents arguing that the teenager isn’t a flight risk and that his strong academic and athletic record is proof of his good character.

The attorney said that Biermann Jr is ‘a high school student in good standing who has demonstrated strong academic achievement,’ on top of receiving scholarships for his athletic prowess.

They also point out that Biermann Jr never fled the state despite knowing about the charges against him back in April, and that he also submitted to polygraph testing.

The attorney is also asking to keep the proceedings confidential due to both Biermann Jr and his alleged victim being juveniles, as well as the public interest in the case due to Zolciak’s fame as a reality TV star.

KJ’s attorney Jason Sheffield told the Daily Mail last month: ‘My client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed Polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender Polygrapher.

‘The fact that he’s been arrested and is being held without Bond is a tragedy. He is not only presumed innocent, but is in fact, innocent.

‘I will work tirelessly to demonstrate to the District Attorney’s office the mean-spirited nature of these false allegations and to bring a close to this matter as quickly as possible. I’m asking the Public not to presume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy.’

In May, Zolciak, 48, who has been embroiled in a bitter child-custody row and split from Biermann, 40, celebrated KJ’s 15th birthday.

Zolciak shared multiple family photos from over the years, including snaps with KJ’s older sisters, Brielle, 29, and Ariana, 24, along with several photos that highlighted the striking resemblance he had to his younger brothers, Kash, 14, and 12-year-old Kane.

Zolciak and Biermann also welcomed daughter Kaia, 12, who is Kane’s twin.

The former Atlanta Falcons linebacker adopted Brielle and Ariana after tying the knot with his estranged wife in 2011.

The reality TV couple parted ways in 2023 and had a series of breakups and reconciliations before splitting for good.

In March, Biermann asked the court to grant him full custody of their minor children, and he accused his ex of ‘blatant mismanagement of basic parenting responsibilities’ in a court filing.

In June, a judge granted Biermann primary physical custody of their four minor children after he alleged that Zolciak was ‘unstable and unfit.’

Zolciak and Biermann will continue to share joint legal custody of the children.
