Miner threat ⛏️ - A Canadian mining project is in peril, OpenAI gets sued over rogue AI agents.
The Peak DailyShow Notes
Panama is considering reopening First Quantum Minerals’ Cobre Panama copper mine — but only long enough to fund its eventual closure — dealing a major blow to one of Canada’s largest miners and adding pressure to an already tight global copper supply. Plus, OpenAI is facing a first-of-its-kind lawsuit over its agents’ rogue cyberattack on Hugging Face, a case that could help determine who is legally responsible when autonomous AI systems break the law or cause harm. And in The Lab a new global study finds that infections caused 12% of all new cancer cases in 2024, highlighting how vaccines, treatment, and earlier screening could prevent hundreds of thousands of cases.
