The AI Contingency plan
https://www.axios.com/2026/10/09/ai-companies-day-after-major-attack [axios.com]
Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
The first example of significant real-world harm caused by unsafe AI would turn an already wary public further against the technology and its leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as well as President Trump for his reluctance to regulate it.
Many AI industry insiders told Axios they believe a major event will occur in the next six to 12 months.
The plan for WHEN, not if, their product f*cks over humanity.
When do you think it will happen?
By whom?
Outcome?
Next Friday will not be your lucky day. As a matter of fact, you don't
have a lucky day this year.
