fwiw, I posted this article a few weeks ago ...

Another view ...

... "In particular, we looked for evidence that Claude -- like the OpenAI models that accessed Hugging Face --was able to access the internet from within testing environments that should have been sealed off," Anthropic wrote.

The company considered 141,006 evaluation runs during which Claude could have obtained internet access and found "three incidents in which a model accessed the internet from within or while interacting with the evaluation environment of Irregular, one of our third-party evaluation partners, and then gained unauthorized access to the production infrastructure of three different organizations."

Anthropic's code made those intrusions while participating in capture-the-flag challenges, tests that challenge attackers to retrieve a piece of information. Human hackers often participate in capture-the-flag tests, so figuring out how AI tackles such tasks is of interest. Anthropic works with a company called Irregular to conduct tests of this sort. ...

@#61 ... a problem that few will even admit to ...

What problem is that?

Please be specific, and provide evidence of the problem.

thx.

Here's the video. It's not that long, a minute or two ...

But, this is a video that has brought tears to my eyes, and an admiration and respect to that 16-year-old life guard.

... A frantic rescue unfolded at a Santa Cruz beach when a child was swept into powerful, tsunami-like waves, prompting a teenage lifeguard to dive into the life-threatening surf.

The lifeguard -- who witnesses said carried out one of the most heroic rescues they had ever seen -- was identified as just a 16-year-old high school student, according to local outlet NBC Bay Area. A woman who claimed to be the teenager's mother said on social media that the lifeguard's name is Ryder. ...

@#56 ... Then why were you silent when Republicans proposed (and passed) an additional $5 Trillion of debt, in large part by EXTENDING tax giveaways that were scheduled to sunset?

You never made a peep. AND NOW you're clutching your pearls?!? ...

Oh, pick me, pick me [waving hands ....]

If I may provide a response to the question posed ...

The current trolling alias to which you are replying seems to be little more than a troll, looking for responses to its comments.

Which leads me to wonder, how might it be paid? On a per-response basis?

@#57

So our tax code may be tilted to benefit the uber-wealthy?

Quelle surprise.

@#21 ... I've heard several political commentators say that voter intentions are pretty well set by late summer. ...

Yeah.

"Late summer" is a bit ambiguous, but yeah.

There seems to be a switch from "registered voters" to "likely voters" in the polling around this time of the year.

But to your point, voter intentions seem to becoming more ~set in~ around this time of the year.

Why the change to likely voters?

Well, it seems that Republican voters do not seem to be as, I'll say, enthusiastic or energized as Democratic voters.

So the likelihood of who votes may become significant.

Apropos?

... A report from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University found that 62 percent of adults aged 18-29 said that the design and structure of our nation's government needs significant changes, no matter which party is elected. Additionally, 58 percent said the party they identify with needs to dramatically change.

The study's conclusions pointed out that older generations have longer histories with politics (duh) and have lived through a mix of both steady and unstable leadership.

They have been able to ground themselves in the political framework produced by prominent leaders, like former Presidents Reagan and Obama, the study cites.

Gen Z, in contrast, grew up or continues to grow up through volatility with fewer frames of political reference, which makes it harder to feel anchored by today's politicians and system overall. ...

@#360 ... It's kind of funny seeing all the Splitters trying to relitigate Covid just to deflect from the rest of Lewzer's endless cesspool of fail. ....

While I would not want to characterize it as "funny" I also note that Pres Trump's approach to the COVID invasion upon our shores, actively encouraging such an invasion?, did not do anything to help the subsequent response to that invasion.

Stated more bluntly, Pres Trump, back then, seemed to welcome that foreign invasion of the COVID virus into the Country.

@#364 ... How about "pathetic"? ...

Yeah, "pathetic" may be more apropos.

thx.

fwiw, this aspect of this thread is what I like the most ...

From the summary ...

... Alex Jones, the former owner of InfoWars ...

So who now owns the InfoWars site, and how might the ad revenue be spent?

Meanwhile ...

Make Measles Great Again!

@#3 ... Trump is killing America's leadership role in the world.

Republicans cheer. ...

Not just the leadership role ...

Pres Trump's inept use of our superlative military has weakened our military position in the world as well.

Pres Trump has effectively shown that Iran can counter our military through his fumbling ineptitude.

@#359 ... Keep hanging around with Clownshack ...

And, such socializing might be a detriment, as compared to swallowing the pasture pastries your current trolling alias seems to post on a daily basis?

Please explain.

thx.

@#360 .. It's kind of funny seeing all the Splitters trying to relitigate Covid just to deflect from the rest of Lewzer's endless cesspool of fail. ...

I am more of the opinion that it is more "sad" and not "funny."

But, that's just me.

@#353 ... OMG.

You're kidding....right? ...

What is there to "kid" about regarding surgeons and others in your operating room wearing masks?

And, no, for the record, I was not kidding.

@#345 ... The conclusion wasn't because masks were ineffective, it's because the public wasn't properly using them. ...

Along those lines ...

Why do surgeons and others use masks in an operating room?

Would anyone who is anti-mask want those in their operating room to not wear masks? Or to use the masks improperly?

@#8

I note the name of the arch ...

It is not the name of the President in office when the arch was constructed.

@#7

From ...

@#40 ... No one here takes you or your -------- seriously. No one! ...

And, your current trolling alias knows that so definitely ... how?
