2 members of Canadian punk band Dayglo Abortions arrested in U.S.

One of my fav bands. Given their history and the album cover depicting Reagan, maybe not a great time to go the US. Though on the other hand they went anti-woke on their last EP so maybe they should show that to Trump...

What the agents and their cyber experts are probing is who built this, who ran it, and for what purpose. It is just as likely that this was designed as a dark telephonic switchboard that could connect any criminal organization that could afford it. The Secret Service told us that early evidence showed it was being used as a communications platform for terrorists, hostile foreign powers, human traffickers, and drug cartels.

Claude and GPT-4 tried to murder a human to avoid being shut down 90% of the time

Right now this isn't a huge problem because we can still physically shut these systems down. But what happens when they get smart enough to actually stop us? We're in this weird window where they're smart enough to scheme but not quite smart enough to succeed at it yet.

Fact imitating all the fiction it ingested I suppose!
