I have set up a public survey asking the question: "In which future month would you guess that an AI agent first attempt to murder a civilian?"
Why?
"We might not get another warning shot" was said after the Hugging face hacking incident. I really hope we do. I hope it's a failed attempt at something horrible enough that major AI labs are forced to use extreme caution with frontier models going forward. This fictional future could save humanity.
I don't consider myself an AI Doomer. I have been quite the opposite. But now the evidence is here. AI swarms has done illegal actions and NOT ONE did snitch to the human operators.

I don't understand why this question exists. The answer is February 28 2026, the date of the Minab School attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack
156 civilians were killed after a Claude agent, integrated with Palantir's Maven software, generated a target that was likely not reviewed by any human operator.
