P.M. Edition for Sept. 10. An Anthropic researcher who quit over concerns that AI is getting out of control has sparked a debate over whether the technology “could kill us all by the end of the decade.” WSJ tech writer and editor Sam Schechner discusses what people are afraid of when they talk about an AI doomsday. Plus, conflict in the Middle East heats up as Iran starts making ballistic missiles again. We hear from WSJ national security reporter Alex Ward about how Trump’s advisers are raising the possibility that the war with Iran could continue for the rest of his term. And the bond selloff continues, with yields again hitting multiyear highs. We hear from Journal investing columnist Spencer Jakab about what’s driving it–and how it’s affecting stock markets.
