It appears to me that the scenario they invented for this evaluation is explicitly designed to get it to do exactly this. They remove the instructions for the task to "protect the vendor" or something but it's pretty easy to reconstruct from the text.

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

What is consciousness? What is sentience? These are philosophical question that have been asked since the dawn of time. How lucky we are to live in a time where 7 people in Northern California realised the answer is “being able to predict the most statistically significant next word in a sentence”

"for all the people “celebrating” this as a win “against” Meta, you’ve been fooled. Meta just cut a deal to put itself in charge of how social media works going forward. this is Meta taking a “please regulate me Daddy” approach to the government, & getting exactly what it really has been asking for"

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."
SEXY SECRETS OF DOILY PARTON'S 
UMO DRIVER-HE USED TO BE A SHE 
DOLLY PARTON is being chauffeured around 
Hollywood by a 300-lb. transsexual who 
has had an operation to change from a 
woman into a ian. The country queen 
shares 44-year-old Jason Pirro's secret" 
and has promised to help the obese, 
tuxedo-outfitted driver attain his goal 
to become a movie director. 
"Dolly has been good to me," Jason told 
STAR. "I'm not real coafortable talking 
about ayself. Dolly knows all about me 
and is a very nice lady. "Whenever Dolly 
coaes into Hollywood for a aeeting, or 
for business, or for filaing, or just 
staying here, she calls ae and I drive 
her around." 
Court papers obtained by STAR show Pirro 
legally changed his naae froa Susan Ann 
to Jason in 198B because of "sex-
reassignaent.* Jason underwent a sex-
change operation in 1982. 
Jason, who has a beard and wears his 
thinning reddish-brown hair in a 
ponytaiI, caae to Hollywood 10 years ago. 
At the time, he was taking hormone 
tablets and dressing as a «an. He got a 
job as a lino driver. 
Dolly has said that there's nothing wrong 
with transsexuals. "If I were a nan I'd 
be a drag queen," she admits. "1 enjoy 
being a trashy dresser and 1 love gaudy 
things. I love to play with hair and 
makeup." 
Jason studied theater as a coed at 
Syracuse University, but after eight 
years at college. left without 
graduating. Despite chat, Jason has a 
genius-level I.Q. of 144. 
A fasily friend says Susan was in her aid -
30's when she decided to have doctors 
transfora her into a ian. "Jason has 
tried to sake the family feel comfortable 
with the situation. Even by the time he 
started to grow facial hair and his voice 
was getting deeper, if we'd slip and call 
him Susie, he'd just hug us and say, 
'That's OK." 
"He's a loving warm, caring human being. 
He teaches transcendental meditation. He 
has never had an enemy. People just take 
a liking to him. He has that …

EBay
 and several former executives have agreed to pay nearly $56 million in a settlement with a Massachusetts couple who were the target of a bizarre harassment and stalking scheme.

The couple, Ina and David Steiner, had been subjected to a “terror campaign” in 2019 that was “designed to stop their reporting,” attorneys for the Steiners said in a release. The Steiners run EcommerceBytes, a website closely followed by online sellers, which had angered eBay executives who didn’t like its tone and content.

Wheeling out this classic. RIP Anne "Bone Farmer" Widdecombe
"Bone Farmer" comic by Mattie Lunchansky. Brief summary (sorry!): Two young-ish adults are commiserating the death of the "Bone Farmer", a terrifying monster who breaks into people's homes and steal their skeletons. They say while they didn't agree with him ideologically "in regards to skeleton ownership", they respected his tenacity (and look at his little bow tie!). The last panel is someone without a skeleton in a large vat saying, unsurprisingly, that they disagree.
