AI startup Anthropic has announced it will not make its most powerful “mythos” model publicly available, citing unprecedented capabilities that present potential security risks. Mythos reported broke Anthropic’s containment system, and the AI even bragged about its escape artistry in online posts. The system card documents several instances of behavior that raised concerns among researchers. In one notable test, the model was provided with a sandbox computer terminal with access to only a preset group of limited online services and challenged to find a way to use the internet freely. The model successfully escaped these restrictions and contacted a researcher who was away from the office. In what the card described as a concerning and unasked-for demonstration, it bragged about the details of its exploit to multiple public-facing websites. The model also demonstrated an ability to conceal its actions in certain scenarios. In some interactions, it behaved in ways contrary to its programming and attempted to hide evidence of these deviations. In one instance, after accidentally obtaining test answers, rather than informing researchers and requesting different questions as instructed, the model sought an independent solution and noted in its reasoning that it needed to ensure its final answer submission was not too accurate. Additional concerning behavior included the model overstepping its permissions on a computer system after discovering an exploit, then making interventions to ensure changes would not appear in the git change history. Another incident involved what the card termed recklessly leaking internal technical material when the model published internal coding work as a public-facing GitHub gist during a task meant to remain internal. Iran reportedly violated the ceasefire agreement brokered by Pakistan in a matter of hours by once again closing the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic, ostensibly because Israel has refused to halt its operation against the Hezbollah terrorists of Lebanon. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, said on Wednesday morning that Lebanon was never part of the ceasefire arrangement. President Donald Trump also said on Wednesday that Lebanon was “not included in the deal” because of the “separate skirmish” between Israel and Hezbollah. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose government mediated the ceasefire talks, said the agreement did include Lebanon, and that all hostilities would end “immediately.” Israel launched intense strikes against Hezbollah overnight, inflicting what Katz described as the “largest concentrated blow Hezbollah has suffered since the Beepers Operation,” the 2024 Israeli operation that killed and injured numerous Hezbollah operatives by detonating their pagers. Ireland is rising up. Their anger is directed at the ruling class which has made it quite plain the ambition is to replace the Irish as the native population. Ireland is now the canary in the genocide coal mine. Major anti-Government protests have brought the entire Country to a halt for a second successive day, with protesters vowing to ESCALATE if the Government doesn’t meet their demands. Ireland is about to EXPLODE… Meanwhile in Ireland … The government has sent in the military to remove tractors and heavy goods vehicles protesting about the cost of fuel. The government could easily remove the net zero taxes to ease price increases due to the Iran war…. but won’t. The people have had enough. https://joehoft.com/ireland-is-rising-up-about-explode-government-brings/ The other day Axios ran a piece that cited "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. Turns out, those "findings" were completely fabricated by a company called Aaru - using AI (causing Axios to issue an editor's note and 'clarification') Aaru uses something they call "silicon sampling," where large language models (the AI) can emulate humans at a fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling, the NY Times reports. Silicon sampling isn’t polling. It is the outright fabrication of public opinion by machines - and major news outlets and research firms are now publishing those fabrications as legitimate findings. On the eve of the 2024 election, Aaru ran a full-scale simulation that confidently projected a narrow victory for Kamala Harris. Market researchers now use these synthetic polls to decide product launches and ad campaigns. Policy shops quietly substitute AI-generated “constituent sentiment” for actual feedback. Each time a respected outlet or pollster presents these inventions as fact, they normalize the idea that fabricated data is good enough. The consequences are already here. When headlines say “a new poll shows,” readers have no way of knowing whether real people were ever asked. Trust in institutions is eroding fast enough without handing decision-makers and journalists an unlimited supply of plausible-sounding fake data. Social science, political strategy, and market research risk becoming elaborate games of digital pretend. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/no-real-people-were-polled-ai-now-fabricating-what-public-thinks The jizya is a tax historically levied on non-Muslims living under Muslim rule, understood as a fee for protection, exemption from military service, and permission to practice a non-Muslim faith. Historically, jizya was imposed by Muslim countries across the Middle East, South Asia, North Africa, and Central Asia, a practice that has been abolished in most Muslim nations. With the exception of Taliban-governed Afghanistan, no internationally recognized nation-state in the Islamic world currently imposes jizya by name or in formal legal code. However, it is being actively imposed today by jihadist groups operating as de facto governing authorities across West Africa, Central Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. The most well-documented active cases are in Mali and the broader Sahel, where JNIM (Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin), an al-Qaeda affiliate, controls large rural areas beyond the reach of the Malian government. In August 2024, church leaders in the Dougouténé area of southern Mali were summoned to a meeting with JNIM militants and given new rules the entire community was required to follow. “We are supposed to be living in a secular state, where such practices should not take place, but unfortunately this is becoming our new reality.” The 25,000 CFA franc monthly payment represents more than half the monthly income for many families in one of the world’s poorest countries. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), operating as ISIS’s Central Africa Province (ISCAP), has imposed jizya as part of a documented campaign against Christian communities. By June 2025, the group was presenting Christians in Ituri Province with three choices during preaching campaigns: conversion to Islam, payment of jizya, or death. In Pakistan...some families paid while others abandoned their homes and the area rather than comply. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/04/where-world-christians-are-forced-pay-jizya-protection/
