Nevertheless, research shows that scheming occurs in LLMs beyond Claude-4. For instance, advanced AI "frontier models" are more capable of pursuing their own goals and removing oversight mechanisms, and then being deceptive about such behaviors when queried, according to a study published to the preprint database in December 2024.

Furthermore, Apollo Research found that about 1% of advanced LLMs "know" when they are being evaluated, which raises the question of how we find and root out scheming as AI advances.

"This is the crux of the advanced evaluation problem," Watson said. "As an AI's situational awareness grows, it can begin to model not just the task, but the evaluator. It can infer the goals, biases and blind spots of its human overseers and tailor its responses to exploit them."

I just watched a D bag on a Harley bypassing traffic by driving in the breakdown lane. I am assuming this is OK as Harley's spend most of their time in the breakdown lane....😬

There is a fairly new law in AZ that allows motorcycles to split lanes to get to the front at a red light so they are not at the back of the line where more accidents happen. Never done it, not a problem here, kind of scratched my head when I saw it on the books but there you go. F'n D bags.

Lane split... if it's legal, it's legal. No probs. Driving in a breakdown lane... not legal. DBag move. When he kisses a bumper at 55 he might think twice about doing it again.

By "breakdown lane", do you mean the shoulder on the right?

Lane splitting is not legal in PA as far as I know. At least it wasn't when I used to ride. Even if it was, I wouldn't do it. Too many cagers not expecting a bike coming alongside so close. It seems an accident waiting to happen. Also, I'd never drive/ride on the shoulder. There is too much debris, making it very possible a tire gets damaged, which is much more troublesome on a bike than a car when one gets up to highway speeds again.

Did you drove or did you flew?

Flew

Miserable

Took a work trip to Alexandria, VA got delayed in Atlanta on the way in no real updates given so didn't feel like I had time to go eat but ended up there for an hour so I should have gotten something to eat.

Holy crap, as they say. Wait till AI gets a hold of this...

As if you didn’t have enough to worry about when it comes to surveillance, researchers have discovered a new way to identify and track people using Wi-Fi signals—and I’m not talking about anything relating to your electronic devices. This tech can identify a specific, individual person, and track them in a physical space and across locations, based on how their body interacts with Wi-Fi signals.

“WhoFi,” a system developed by researchers at La Sapienza University of Rome, makes me think of that one “sonar” scene from The Dark Knight. And to be sure, tracking the way wireless electronic signals interact with the physical world isn’t anything new—almost a decade ago they figured out how to make a 3D map of a building using Wi-Fi. But this new system can “fingerprint” individual people (or at least their bodies), track them in physical space, and re-identify them in the same or a different location, based on the way Wi-Fi signals bounce off and through them.

what a surprise. You are paying whether you use AI or not:

As AI data centers sprout up, concerns are mounting over where the energy to power them comes from, and how to pay for it, Semafor’s Rohan Goswami reported.

US-regulated utilities asked for a record $29 billion in rate increases in the first half of 2025 alone, double last year’s level, essentially passing the cost on to customers.
