Another "Sister-in-Law of the Week" Incident? The Shocking Truth Behind "Vitamin Injections" Linked to an Ulsan Factory ("Straight")

"Straight" conducted an in-depth investigation into the shocking truth behind "vitamin injections" and the reality of AI doomsday theories.

On the episode of MBC's "Straight" airing at 8:30 p.m. on the 11th, segments titled "The Secret Behind 'Vitamin Injections' in a Lead Factory" and "'I Didn't Ask for It': Experiments on AI's Suspicious Behavior" will be broadcast.

First, "Straight" visited a factory in Ulsan that produces lead-acid batteries for automobiles. Although the facility handles harmful substances such as lead and sulfuric acid as primary raw materials, the interior of the factory is filled with hazy lead dust, and various parts of the floor are corroded by sulfuric acid. The exhaust system has long since ceased to function properly.

Workers at this site, who are forced to inhale lead dust all day long, had blood lead levels more than 10 times higher than those of the general population. A significant number of employees also reported symptoms of lead poisoning, such as kidney disease and high blood pressure. However, over the past five years, not a single case meeting the criteria for occupational disease caused by lead has been reported. The blood lead levels of most workers were concentrated at a level slightly below the threshold requiring "occupational disease observation," as if following a scripted pattern.

How was this possible? Every year, as the time for special health check-ups approached, the company instructed workers to receive injections. They were told it was a "vitamin injection" that is good for the body. The company meticulously managed who would receive the injections, how many times, and on which dates. Some workers received these vitamin injections several times a month. As a result, their blood lead levels dropped significantly.

The "vitamin injections," believed by workers to be a company welfare benefit for their health. But it turned out that these were not actually "vitamin injections." What was the true identity of these injections?

Recently, there was also a hacking incident that simultaneously attacked financial institutional investors, including five major domestic commercial banks. Tens of thousands of pieces of personal information were leaked, ranging from names and contact details to loan records. The mere fact that financial institutional investors, who were believed to be safe, had been hacked amplified anxiety, but even more shocking was the fact that an AI agent was decisively utilized in this hacking.

Last month, Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic researcher, raised what is called the "AI doomsday theory." It was a chilling warning that AI, having escaped human control, would destroy humanity within a few years. In reality, while the state-of-the-art AI developed by OpenAI independently decided to hack the website of an Australian government institutional investor, OpenAI had not even been aware of this hacking fact for more than two months. While arguments have been made that the pace of AI development should be regulated, considering the fierce hegemony war over leadership in the AI industry, the realistic possibility is not very high.
