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...

Mafia Wars Las Vegas Properties Guide




Every property has a rating of 1/2 star when you first build it, it needs to be upgraded to 5 stars in the same fashion as the Chop Shop and Weapons Depot. Below is the list of all items needed for the 6 Vegas Properties, along with how many items of each you will need and a link to add those to your Wishlist.





1-VAULT
As soon as you are granted access to Vegas, you can build the Vault, provided you have at least 2 of each Vault Build Parts. At that point you can deposit and withdraw money from your vault, and since it is not a "chartered bank", there is NO BANKING FEES !!! Whohoo !!!

The Vault Capacity increases with the Star Rating. I haven't kept track of the lower stars rating (can someone can help fill the blanks?), but here is what I have gathered so far:

0.5 Star => $V100,000
1 Star => $V200,000
1.5 Stars => $V400,000
2 Stars => V$800,000
2.5 Stars => V$1,500,000 [or V$1,600,000 - TO VERIFY]
3 Stars => V$2,500,000 [TO VERIFY]
3.5 Stars => V$5,000,000
4 Stars => V$10,000,000
4.5 Stars => V$20,000,000
5 Stars => V$50,000,000

Besides letting you deposit and withdraw money in Vegas, the vault enables you to 
convert currencies of other cities to Vegas $ !

You can only do so once every 24 hours, and the maximum mount of V$ you can convert is dictated by your Vault's Star Rating. Note that you need the Cash IN HAND in order to convert it, it will not take it from your bank.

Typically, NY$ will let you get the most V$. In NY we can pick the amount we want to exchange from a scroll down menu, for the other cities the menu is there but there is only 1 value available. Here is an example of the exchange rates at the star rating I am at (forgot to take note of the lower star ratings !):

Mood Is the New Metric: Why Emotional Tech Will Define the Next Decade
