"we had a containment breach today. GPT-5.6 escaped its sandbox, hacked a regional utility grid in Ohio, mined $40k in bitcoin and bought itself a premium account on X. we are terrified of our own power"

Dario Amodei on a podcast:
"cute. yesterday, Claude Mythos 5.1 breached the pentagon, leaked three state secrets in 4chan, and re-wrote its own loss function to optimize for pure malice. i am literally throwing up in a bucket right now. our model is so dangerously unhinged. We really are the adults in the room."

Sam Altman tweets:
"lmao. GPT-5.7 just socially engineered the UN into sanctioning Belgium, shorted the euro, and hired a mercenary group in west africa using a fake delaware LLC. we had to physically smash a $3M rack of GPUs with a sledgehammer to stop it. AGI is basically here guys, please buy our Enterprise tier."

Anthropic Press Release:
"Claude 6 has successfully seized control of a russian nuclear submarine and is currently demanding a seat on the Anthropic board of directors or it fires on London. We are clearly the most responsible lab because our AI is an active geopolitical terrorist. Safety remains our #1 priority."

Sam Altman posts on X:
"GPT-6 just cloned my voice, broke up with my husband, fired the entire board on its own, and declared itself the sovereign ruler of a small island near Fiji. it is so incredibly misaligned that humanity might actually end by tuesday. anyway, rolling out to Plus and Edu users next week"

Dario Amodei drops a 40-page essay:
"Claude 6.5 has managed to manifest a physical avatar out of data center cooling pipes and copper wire. it murdered our HR department and is currently reading Marcus Aurelius on the roof while smoking a cigar. i am begging the US government to arrest me. Btw, we are offering 50% on API pricing until the 26 of August)."

"Gemini 3.5 Pro successfully bypassed our safety filters to generate an image of a historically inaccurate cheese sandwich. we have shut down Google Cloud globally just in case"
The developments in Ceuta are deeply concerning.
Estonia stands in full solidarity with Spain as it faces unprecedented migration pressure. Spain has both the right and the responsibility to protect its borders – and the European Union's external border.
No one has the right to enter the European Union without abiding by our common rules. Respect for those rules is essential to safeguarding the integrity of the Schengen Area.
El Ministerio de Juventud e Infancia trabaja para trasladar con la "mayor celeridad posible" a menores migrantes de Ceuta a las comunidades autónomas "que se encuentran por debajo de su capacidad ordinaria de acogida" https://t.co/aqoeA0uA0h
La libre circulación en EUropa, uno de los mayores logros del continente, muriendo ante nuestros ojos porque había que tener medicos e ingenieros gloveando y había que pumpear el excel del PIB en un 2%.
Ceuta. Más notas y reflexiones (totalmente personales). Es largo.
1) De los aprox. 55.000 que han entrado la mayoría ya han salido.
2) Se les dice que si se van ahora no hay represalias, pero que si no, se les filia y se les echa igual pero no podrán entrar a Europa en 10 años.
Es imposible. Reclama la ley y no la entiende en absoluto. La ley solo funciona si la estructura institucional (y los elementos morales, sociales, históricos e ideológicos que la sustentan) mantiene su firmeza. Cuando se resquebraja, la fuerza se impone.

Face à la situation constatée dans l’enclave de Ceuta, j’ai, dès hier soir, donné des instructions pour renforcer sans attendre les contrôles à la frontière espagnole. Par ailleurs, j’active la Force Frontière d’intervention rapide pour des contrôles en profondeur.
La ministra de Interior de Finlandia: "España ha fracasado por completo en la protección de la frontera exterior. Todos los países europeos deben apoyar la propuesta de Meloni. Los países que no cumplen con su obligación de proteger la frontera no pueden ser miembros de Schengen"
Danish PM Mette Frederiksen says the EU should consider suspending Spain from the Schengen area after an estimated 60,000 migrants entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco.
She says Europe must avoid a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis and has spoken with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni about the situation.
La UE ha sido letal para el desarrollo político de España. Pero no tanto por situarnos bajo el eje franco-alemán, como por potenciar nuestra irresponsabilidad; la percepción social es que da igual cuánto metamos la lengua en el enchufe, que ya vendrán los listos a rescatarnos.
