Trump is like a stupid 6 year old lying to a world of 6 year olds.

He doesn’t know that normal people can see that he’s lying.

Notice it.

I cannot believe this bullshit hasn't been dismissed yet. It's on video. 😡🤬

We are going to get something horrific about Melania dropping from the Epstein files.

Me trying to digest the content of this presser...

Why does your photo make it look as if he is similarly proportioned to Timmy from South Park?

We should attack Israel then, I guess. Teach them a lesson.

This could mean that former President Barack Obama meets Pope Leo XIV before Trump does. trib.al/ywJHjQk

Yeah, but when I search you on Whitepages it tells me you used to live with Bruno Hauptmann.

I repeat, I am NOT penpals with the Zodiac Killer, and have NEVER spent an entire night inventing cryptographic code symbols, this should clear everything up, thank you for attending my press conference

She's really good. You should go!

Melania Trump Says She Was Not a Victim of Jeffrey Epstein Responding to what she said were smears, the first lady said she never had knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of victims. She called on Congress to continue investigating.

Breaking News: Melania Trump, in an unexpected statement, said she was not a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and that she had no knowledge of the abuse of his victims.

Shots fired over proposal to build datacenter in Indianapolis Quite literally, from a gun, into the front door of a councilor who supports plan Datacenter protests have taken an ugly turn in the US, with gunshots fired at the home of an Indianapolis councilor who recently lent his support to plans for a server farm in the area.…

Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, will testify to the House Oversight Committee about his relationship with Epstein in less than a month.

Photographs in the Epstein Files place Lutnick on Epstein's island, and emails show the two were in business together.

John Deere Is Paying Farmers $99 Million for Allegedly Monopolizing Repair The tractor maker is paying for its years as the central opponent of right-to-repair. Consumer advocates say it's still not enough.

MAGA Dolt Hegseth Accidentally Reveals Big Hole in Trump Victory Claim So Iran came to the table because Trump threatened to blow up their civilization, eh? Sorry, that spin is in tatters.

Hegseth’s spin is doing us a public service. By insisting Trump’s threat drove Iran to the table, it should force a reassessment of why the original talks fell apart. trib.al/XoUwGTM

Nothing beats deciphering a double negative at sea to determine whether you're allowed to pass, or if you'll get torpedoed.

Iran broadcasts new message prohibiting all ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz:

"Attention all ships... From now on, all navigating through the Strait of Hormuz is forbidden. No ship in every side is not allowed to pass from the Strait of Hormuz until next notice."

Fox Business reporter: "Also, these guys, they make pretty good money. Some of them over $50,000 a year."

U.S. service members who survived Iran's attack on a U.S. base dispute Hegseth's claim that the drone was a "squirter" that got through a fortified unit:

"Painting a picture that 'one squeaked through' is a falsehood. I want people to know the unit was unprepared to provide any defense for itself."

Republicans lie, Americans die.

I have never understood the reason behind attacking vaccines, other than that there are plenty of people who both don't understand anything about science, and are gullible suckers, and if they rile these rubes up with junk science, they can control how they vote.

New reporting reveals the CDC suppressed a report showing the COVID vaccine cut hospitalizations for healthy adults by more than half.

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…

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.
