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.

So what is the right time to give your kid a mobile phone,smartphone or a tablet. The guys over at sodahead asked their users the very same question.

The poll of 1,066 parents shows that 66 percent of them believe kids should not have a smartphone until they turn 16 years old. With 54 percent saying a regular cell phone is fine for 13 - 15 yea- olds, while nearly a quarter feel that kids under 12 should be given a basic handset. Teens who took part in the poll also agree that 16 is the right age for a smartphone but we'll have the cell phone right now, thank you. Another interesting factor is that Dads were more likely to give kids under 12 a cell phone. Most parents would also opt to buy their teens a Wi-Fi tablet, which would ensure home use and keeping an eye on things.
Another interesting result from the survey is that face-time between parents and children has dropped by 30% since 2007. Facebook started becoming popular in Sep 2006. Wonder if there is a connection. So kids now know who to ask for a cell phone - Ask Dad.
