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...

eBook: The Tiger and his Lady Love

This is a book of poetry written by me which is now available on Amazon as a Kindle edition. Decided that I would sit down and write a few poems telling the story of a few of my jungle adventures and the stories of a few animals. The poems are actually short stories written to meter. I tried to capture the romance of the  forests with all its natural beauty and treasures that are available only to the ones it choose to reveal its secrets to. Some of the title include 'The Elephant' which is a poem about an elephant that roams the forests wild and free and also becomes friends with a human being. There is also the poem of a large male tiger and his life of love and rejection and the ultimate in having arrived when he follows his tiger instinct and learns all. Also the poem about little fawns playing in the sunshine - something so far removed from our world of FB, Twitter and Pinterest. Yes these are videos that can be captured on dSLR cameras and iPads but the jungle only calls ...

Amazon to open a digital-books library [Report]

Image: Unesco According to people familiar with the matter, Amazon is in talks with books publishes to open a NetFlix Inc. type service which would allow users to read these books by paying an annual fee. Publishes though do not seem to happy with the idea as it might actually lower the value of the books they feel. Amazon on the other hand seems to be pushing this more for older tittles. This however will benefit readers as they get to choose what they want to read and rent it our for a few days. Users can browse through the library content and take their time in selecting books they would like to read. However how will this benefit publishers., with sales of real books falling and the sale of e-books rising. Publishers it seems are not attracted to such a proposition and would rather that people actually go out and by their books. which also makes a lot of sense as some effort should be involved in getting nice books. This also leads to word of mouth sales and the whole thing associa...
