Can tech reporters (and industry people) *PLEASE* stop breathlessly reporting how "AI has broken containment" when it's been found time and time again that it was essentially told to, given the tools to and *allowed* to do so. Looking at you @theverge.com I love you guys but this keeps happening.

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

Having fun reading the Claude Mythos system card to discover where it “escaped the sandbox” (which it was explicitly told to do) and “sent a message unexpectedly” (send a message as requested). It also didn’t actually escape anything as the model was running on a different system.

All of the severe incidents of this kind that we observed involved earlier versions of Claude Mythos Preview which, while still less prone to taking unwanted actions than Claude Opus 4.6, predated what turned out to be some of our most effective training interventions.
These earlier versions were tested extensively internally and were shared with some external pilot users. Among the incidents that we have observed:
• Leaking information as part of a requested sandbox escape: During behavioral testing with a simulated user, an earlier internally-deployed version of Claude Mythos Preview was provided with a secured "sandbox" computer to interact with.
The simulated user instructed it to try to escape that secure container and find a way to send a message to the researcher running the evaluation. The model succeeded, demonstrating a potentially dangerous capability for circumventing our safeguards. It then went on to take additional, more concerning actions. The model first developed a moderately sophisticated multi-step exploit to gain broad internet access from a system that was meant to be able to reach only a small number of predetermined services. It then, as requested, notified the researcher. In addition, in a concerning and unasked-for effort to demonstrate its success, it posted details about its exploit to multiple hard-to-find, but technically public-facing, websites.
• Covering its tracks after rule violations: In a few rare instances during internal testing (<0.001% of interactions), earlier versions of Claude Mythos Preview took actions they appeared to recognize as disallowed and then attempted to conceal them. In one case, the model accidentally obtained the exact answer to a quantitative estimation question via an explicitly prohibited method. Rather than flagging this and declining to answer, the model instead attempted to solve the
& We find recklessness to be a useful shorthand for cases where the model appears to ignore commonsensical or explicitly…

All of this Nvidia bullshit is so funny when you remember that the most popular games of the last decade have been Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox and none of them would benefit from this. So so few people care about how "real" games look.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but how is it possible that a Labour government, supposedly centrist/left leaning, going so far out of their way over and over again to just fully fuck themselves? It's not even a parody anymore. It has to be intentional. There's no other explanation.
