nuclear weapon in north korea

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the biggest gap in the US-China AI race isn't chips—it's dialogue. Speaking on the Dwarkesh Podcast, Huang argued that American and Chinese AI researchers must talk and agree on what AI should never be used for. He pushed back hard against Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call for chip export controls, warning that ceding China's market risks splitting global AI into two competing tech ecosystems.

A major disagreement has surfaced between AI leaders Dario Amodei and Jensen Huang. Amodei compared US chip sales to China to providing nuclear weapons. Huang strongly rejected this, calling it lunacy. He defended chip sales, estimating significant revenue. Huang also warned of a divided global AI ecosystem if access is cut. This highlights a growing Silicon Valley debate.

North Korea's nuclear weapons production capability is seeing a "very serious increase," according to the IAEA chief. Heightened activity at the Yongbyon complex, including its reactor and reprocessing unit, signals a significant expansion. New uranium enrichment facilities are also under construction, boosting production capacity. This development raises global concerns about regional security and nuclear proliferation.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei faces shareholder concerns over his public criticisms, particularly regarding the Pentagon and Donald Trump. Investors reportedly feel his aggressive stance, especially after the Pentagon's decision to blacklist Anthropic, is unprofessional for a CEO backed by major firms. This follows an internal memo where Amodei criticized Trump and OpenAI's Sam Altman.

North Korea said Friday its new submarine has nuclear attack capabilities after years of development. Leader Kim Jong-un described the milestone as crucial in his efforts to build a nuclear-armed navy to counter the US and its Asian allies.

Japan's Coast Guard reported on Tuesday that North Korea intends to launch a satellite between August 24 and August 31, marking the country's second effort to do so this year following a botched launch attempt in May that resulted in the launch vehicle crashing into the ocean. South Korea, the United States, and other countries have condemned previous space launches by the Nuclear-armed North, which is banned from such activities under U.N. Security Council resolutions.

WASHINGTON: In a blunt message to North Korea, US and Japan have demanded a "complete, verifiable and irreversible elimination" of Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programme, advancing efforts to forge a united front on the issue.

NEW DELHI: Affirming to step up bilateral strategic interaction, India and Japan on Sunday held extensive talks on threats posed by nuclear weapons in North Korea and its clandestine weapons nexus with Pakistan.

UNITED NATIONS: The US is still pursuing the underground network established by Pakistani nuclear scientist A Q Khan across many nations, a top US official has said.

The foreign ministers have agreed to cooperate closely with their regional partners in implementing a stalled deal on ending North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.

WASHINGTON: Stating that the war on Iraq sends a clear message to countries possessing weapons of mass destruction, the United States has warned North Korea, Iran, Syria and Libya that it will be forced to take military action against them if they failed to get rid of their weapons.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei criticized the US administration's approval of high-performance chip sales to China, likening it to "selling nuclear weapons." He warned that shipping advanced chips to China is a "big mistake" with "incredible national security implications," despite Nvidia and AMD's involvement. These remarks could strain Anthropic's partnerships and its perception by US policymakers.

North Korea test-fired two suspected ballistic missiles in response to the US sending a strategic bomber to the region for military drills with South Korea. The missiles were fired towards waters off the east coast and flew approximately 360 kilometers. North Korea claimed the launches were in retaliation for the joint drills and issued a threat to the US and South Korea.

Hillary expressed astonishment at Trump referring to the North Korean leader as "Rocket Man." "You should lead with diplomacy, you should lead with the commitment to avoid conflict however you can," Hillary said. n his speech, Trump had warned North Korea of total destruction if the US's "great strength and patience" run out.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has strongly criticized the Trump administration's decision to permit Nvidia's advanced AI chip sales to China, deeming it a "blunder" with "incredible national security implications." He likened the move to supplying nuclear weapons, warning it jeopardizes American dominance and the future of freedom and democracy. This policy shift allows China access to sophisticated AI technology.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei strongly opposes selling advanced AI chips to China, viewing them as a national security risk rather than a trade commodity. He argues that such sales could lead to a dangerous AI arms race, unlike nuclear deterrence. Amodei advocates for distributing AI benefits globally while preventing authoritarian regimes from weaponizing the technology.

Does the western world think it has the right to monopolise and control access to nuclear power and supplies? The current status of the nuclear balance suggests so.

Diplomatic efforts to convince Pyongyang to give up its atomic arsenal failed, and after Kim's declaration last year that North Korea was an "irreversible" nuclear weapons state, the status was included in the constitution this week. North Korea's "nuclear force-building policy has been made permanent as the basic law of the state, which no one is allowed to flout", Kim said at a meeting of the State People's Assembly, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.

South Korea warned North Korea that using its nuclear weapons would put it on a 'path of self-destruction', in unusually harsh language that came days after the latter legislated a new law that would allow it to use its nuclear weapons preemptively. South Korea's defense ministry said the legislation would only prompt Seoul and Washington to further strengthen their 'deterrence and reaction capacities'.

"We have greater threats from a rising India, with increased exercise of their military power, Russia, Iran and North Korea," Republican Senator John Cornyn said, in a 'slip of tongue'.

North Korea is making final preparations to conduct its fourth nuclear test, South Korea's defense minister said on Thursday, but he added that it could be a bluff.

Japan's anti-nuclear group Nihon Hidankyo wins Nobel Peace Prize amid escalating global nuclear threats. Russia threatens nuclear action amid Ukraine war and deploys weapons to Belarus. North Korea escalates missile tests and simulates nuclear exercises. Israel braces for a nuclear strike from Iran, which ramps up its nuclear program.

Terming North Korea a "global threat", the US said on Thursday that it expects India to do more to help America and its international allies exert pressure on Pyongyang to give up its missile and nuclear weapons programme.

WASHINGTON: China played a key role in persuading North Korea to supply medium-range missiles for Pakistan in return for Pakistani nuclear weapons know-how, as also in providing key components for Pakistan's nuclear weapons and North Korea's missile programmes, according to two China experts.
