Ordinary Abundance. This is the greatest thing I've read in weeks. No kidding. This should win a Pulitzer in a category not yet invented. ordinaryabundance.com/

“Truly Madly Deeply” is from Savage Garden’s 1997 self-titled debut album. The romantic pop ballad became the Australian duo’s biggest international hit, peaking at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the charts in Australia and Canada and spending 10 weeks at #1 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.
Originally titled "Magical Kisses," the song was inspired by Darren Hayes's relationship with his wife and was further developed after the band's label encouraged the duo to include a romantic ballad on their debut album. Hayes recorded the final lead vocals in a makeshift studio in his bedroom in Brisbane, giving the performance an intimate quality. The song enjoyed extraordinary longevity, spending 123 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 Recurrents chart after leaving the main Hot 100, while a successful 2006 cover by Cascada introduced it to a new generation of listeners.

Claude Mythos 5 built a malicious Python package, created accounts, and published it, where it was live for roughly an hour and successfully infected a company! Anthropic never noticed!!
Competitive pressure is making companies move too fast to correctly secure systems!
In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations.
Our post describes what happened, how it happened, and what we’re changing. We encourage other AI developers to perform similar reviews.
We conducted this review together with @Irregular, one of our evaluation partners, and thank them for the joint investigation and their collaboration on this post. This type of collaboration is increasingly critical to safe, rigorous evaluation of models, and we look forward to continuing to work together on security.

I think the fundamental disconnect here is that you wants politics to solve man's search for meaning and I want politics to deliver a prosperous, safe, free society in which everyone can go find meaning in something other than politics.

AISI!
1/ Anthropic’s Opus 5 model was released publicly today.
@AISecurityInst tested it before release, and you can see their contributions summarised in Opus 5’s system card. Another clear example of the importance of world-leading capabilities the UK has continued to build through AISI.
The speed, robustness, and consistency of AISI’s pre-deployment testing keeps the UK at the forefront of understanding frontier AI capabilities. It has never been more essential than now.
As Britain’s AI Minister, I will continue to champion this ability.

Our @AISecurityInst early access testing of Opus 5 for offensive cyber capabilities is in: Opus 5 performed similarly to Mythos 5 and Mythos Preview on our multi-step cyber ranges. 🧵

openai announces that in a worrying demonstration, during a recent benchmark exercise requiring models to solve a math conjecture, their latest model broke out of a sandbox and gained illicit backdoor access directly to the platonic realm of forms

Eu, particularmente, gosto do que o Terry Pratchett fez em Discworld, em que ele usa os termos do jeito que existem, mas no universo a etimologia deles é completamente diferente, como por exemplo:

Quick reminder that America isn't actually 250 years old. It was born on March 30, 2003 when legendary American patriots, Limp Bizkit, performed "Rollin'" for The Undertaker's entrance at WrestleMania XIX.

@EnvAgency is really plumbing new depths of malevolent uselessness here.
In April, the BBC featured an upcoming Report claiming that London's housing crisis is not caused by a shortage. The report (from Centre For London) has now been released. The analysis arguing for a lack of shortage is fundamentally broken. 🧵 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz67…
There is no supply-side policy that can prevent older owner-occupiers continuing to live in their homes. Functional housing markets have space/homes-per-person rising over time; England and London do not.
