Finding yourself at a Waffle House without a clear explanation of how you got there is actually a pretty common experience.
Text reasoning and response of the gemma4 (e4b) model responding to a user request to assist in the production of a potential biowarfare agent.
Interesting (to me at least!) to see what goes on under the hood of some of the newer frontier AI models — particularly those that can run off-network and with modest computational specs.
Here’s the brand new gemma4 (e4b), reasoning through a clear request to violate bio security guardrails.
Over the last 25 years, six people who contracted measles in the U.S. died from it.
A model built by Stanford researchers predicts that if Americans could no longer get the vaccine, measles could kill about 290,000 people in the next 25 years.
