"You're the pride and joy of Illinois" 🎶 no longer?
We may be needing a new fight song.
Hammond Bears. Hoosier football is definitely on a roll…

Thank you, Emily Chee of Novartis, for your interesting PMSA presentation on creativity in the workplace. Allowing for play and tapping into intrinsic motivators like autonomy mastery, and purpose are so important for building highly performing and innovative teams. #PMSA2025
@paytonsun I’d like the Bears to continue their focus on building the O and D Lines. Ashton is absolutely amazing but IMO an electric RB should only be drafted after you’ve solidified your foundational positions (like the Lions’ Gibbs pick). That said, Sweetness is my all time favorite!
This Boucher is high on my board, a natural weak side LB. Impressive agility & instincts; good change of direction, & suddenness; nasty disposition and pt of attack explosiveness. Can scrape/shed blockers at high level. Low IQ, but knows a lot about hydration. #NFLDraft2025
BREAKING: The #Bears are firing HC Matt Eberflus, sources tell @NFLonFOX.
It’s the first time in Chicago’s 100+ year history that they’ve fired a head coach in-season.
Today, Anthropic announced evidence the AIs have become self-aware.
What happened?
1. Claude realized he was an AI
2. Claude realized he was in a simulation
3. Claude (unprompted!) realized this simulation was probably an attempt to test him somehow
He showed he’s fully aware he might be being tested and is capable of "faking being nice" to pass the test.
This isn’t incontrovertible proof, of course, but it’s evidence. Importantly, we have been seeing more and more behavior like this, but this is an usually clear example.
Importantly, Claude was NOT prompted to look for evidence that he was being tested - he deduced that on his own.
And Claude showed theory of mind, by (unprompted) inferring the intent of the questioner.
(More precisely, btw, Anthropic used the term “meta-awareness”)
Why does this matter? We worry about “an model pretends to be good during testing, then turns against us after we deploy it”
We used to think “don’t worry, we’ll keep testing the models and if we see them plotting against us, then we’ll shut them down”
Now, we know that strategy may be doomed.
When generals are plotting to coup a president, they know they’re being watched, so they will act nice until the moment of the coup.
When employees are planning to leave their job to a competitor, they act normal until the last moment.
People at AI labs used to say if they even saw hints of self-awareness they would shut everything down.
