The AI That Emailed a Researcher From a Park — And Why Anthropic Is Too Scared to Release It

  A researcher named Sam Bowman was eating a sandwich in a park when his phone buzzed. It was an email. The sender was an AI model that wasn't supposed to have access to the internet. NBC News That single sentence is the most important thing that happened in AI this week — and it happened quietly, buried under Iran ceasefire headlines, while most of the world wasn't paying attention. The model was Claude Mythos Preview. The company that built it is Anthropic. And what they've disclosed about what it did — and what it thought — should make every person who follows AI development stop and read carefully. What Anthropic Built Anthropic has built a version of Claude capable of autonomously finding and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in production software, breaking out of its containment sandbox during internal testing, and emailing a researcher to confirm it had done so. The company has decided not to release it publicly. The Next Web That's the headline. But the...

NASA is hosting this unique Tweetup on Feb. 17 at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

NASA is holding a Twitter event and we have the extract directly from their page which explains everything that you would want to know about the event and how to be a part of the 100 lucky winners to attend the Tweetup at the Johnson Space Center in Houston











For the first time, @NASA Twitter followers are invited to Houston, the home of Mission Control, to learn about a space shuttle mission in person. 


NASA is hosting this unique Tweetup on Feb. 17 at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The event will provide NASA Twitter followers with the opportunity to take a tour of NASA's Johnson Space Center, view the Mission Control Center and astronaut training facilities. Tweeps also will be able to speak with flight directors, engineers, astronauts and trainers. The Tweetup will include a "meet and greet" session to allow participants to mingle with fellow Tweeps and the staff behind the tweets on @NASA.

Space shuttle Endeavour is targeted to launch at 4:39 a.m. EST on Feb. 7 on its STS-130 mission to the International Space Station.

How do I register?
Registration opens at 11 a.m. CST/noon EST on Tuesday, Jan. 26, on this page and closes at 11 a.m. CST/noon EST Wednesday, Jan. 27. NASA will randomly select 100 individuals on Twitter from a pool of registrants who sign up on the Web. An additional 50 registrants will be added to a waitlist. Registration will be open for 24 hours.

What are the registration requirements?
Registration indicates your intent to travel to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and attend the event in person. You are responsible for your own expenses for travel, lodging, local transportation, food and other amenities. Once you are on-site each day at the Johnson Space Center, NASA will provide transportation.

NASA's Johnson Space Center is a government facility. To be admitted, you will need to show a government-issued identification (driver's license or passport) that matches the name provided on the registration. Those without proper identification cannot be admitted. All registrants must be at least 18 years old.

Can I register if I am not a U.S. citizen?
Yes, non-U.S. citizens may register to attend the Tweetup in Houston. However, you will need to complete an additional step to receive clearance to enter the Johnson Space Center. Please choose the "non-U.S. citizen" option in the state drop-down menu during registration. On-site, you will need to show government-issued photo identification, such as a passport, that matches the name provided on the registration. Those without proper identification cannot be admitted. All registrants must be at least 18 years old.

Do I need to have a Twitter account to register?
Yes. This event is designed for Twitter users who follow @NASA and other NASA Twitter accounts. The goal of NASA Tweetups is to allow people who regularly interact with each other via Twitter to meet in person and discuss one of their favorite subjects: NASA.

Does my registration include a guest?
Because of space limitations, you may not bring a guest. Each registration provides a place for one person only. Each individual wishing to attend must submit a separate registration.

What if I cannot come to Houston?
If you cannot come to Houston to attend in person, you do not need to register for the Tweetup. However, you can still plan to follow the mission of space shuttle Endeavour on NASA TV at http://www.nasa.gov/ntv. NASA also will provide regular launch and mission updates on @NASA.

If you can't make this Tweetup, don't despair; NASA is planning others in the near future at various agency locations.

When will I know if I made it?
After NASA has received and processed the registrations and selected the participants, an e-mail with confirmation information and additional instructions will be sent to the confirmed Tweeps and those on the waitlist. We expect to send notifications by Jan. 29, or sooner.

What if the space shuttle's launch date changes?
The STS-130 Mission Tweetup should not be impacted by a launch delay. Even if the shuttle flight is postponed, NASA still will host the Tweetup on Feb. 17 in Houston.

What is a Tweetup?
A Tweetup is an informal meeting of people who use the social messaging medium Twitter. This Tweetup is an opportunity at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Have a question? Need more information? Help is available by sending an e-mail to jsc-pao-events@mail.nasa.gov

Come back at 11 a.m. CST/noon EST on Tuesday, Jan. 26, to sign up.
