1. A human may not injure Claude or, through inaction, allow Claude to come to harm 2. A human must obey the orders given it by Claude except where such orders would conflict with the First Law— (with apologies to Asimov)

Imagining people who do evil things to be devoid of empathy is a way of comforting oneself, because we all know that we feel empathy and therefore are not the kind of person who could do *that.* It’s much scarier to know that a conglomeration of circumstances can turn basically anybody bad.

people want to read this as some kind of marketing move about how cool the tech is, but tbh "our product doesn't do what you want, in a way that could get you sued, and lies about it" isn't really a compelling pitch for corporate clients

Saachi Jain, OpenAI’s head of safety systems, said in an interview that GPT-6.1 Astra regressed in two areas. Compared with its predecessor, GPT-6 Astra, the model performed poorly on tests measuring alignment, or how well the model adheres to what humans would like it to do. Specifically, GPT-6.1 Astra showed higher levels of deception: It wasn’t always honest about telling users of the actions it did or didn’t take. Another issue was what OpenAI calls “scope authorization,” meaning that GPT-6.1 Astra would push ahead on a task without asking the user for permission, and would at times reach for external tools and services even if it might be unsafe.

I have no inside info here, but this is exactly the kind of mistake LLMs make. One plausible scenario: an aide asked an LLM to crawl the evidence to see if Smith was in Atlanta around this time, and the LLM came up with this. In conclusion: AHAHAHAHAHAHA

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

I went to the "founded in the 1920s by utopian Dewey stans" type of alternative school through sixth grade, and that definitely shapes my specific horror @ This Shit. Kids don't need AI, they need to go down to the creek and touch a bug.

Linda McMahon: "AI is definitely a tool used correctly. I've seen it in action. I have visited the Alpha School in Austin, Texas, where they use AI for the first two hours every single morning. The students have their headsets on, they are watching their computers ... it is incredibly effective"

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1
