"Five 15-day simulations, each governed by a different AI ... Each simulation netted wildly different outcomes. The one run by Claude, for example, resulted in a largely stable democratic society with zero crime. Grok’s, on the other hand, ended with 183 crimes committed and extinction—within four days. ... The agents in the Gemini-run simulation tallied the most crimes, a whopping 683 within the 15-day run. ... The results may be the most peculiar for OpenAI’s GPT-5-mini. The simulation recorded only two crimes. But it ran for just seven days as the agents forgot to prioritize their own survival."
Javice’s attorneys told Hellerstein that JPMorgan’s failure to conduct proper due diligence should weigh in favor of her receiving a more lenient sentence. ... “We would never ask you to punish JPMorgan Chase’s stupidity,” said Ronald Sullivan, one of Javice’s lead attorneys. “But we submit that it’s a relevant factor.”
Are there any other advantages to using ChatPerson over chatbots?
Each of our server centers (human beings) only consumes enough water and electricity to sustain a human body in a modest studio apartment. Chatbots, on the other hand, basically suck a county dry every time you ask them to punch up your cover letter.
Operational highlights: From crypto mining to inheritance scams
... Authorities in Angola dismantled 25 cryptocurrency mining centres, where 60 Chinese nationals were illegally validating blockchain transactions to generate cryptocurrency. The crackdown identified 45 illicit power stations which were confiscated, along with mining and IT equipment worth more than USD 37 million
... Zambian authorities dismantled a large-scale online investment fraud scheme, identifying 65,000 victims who lost an estimated USD 300 million. The scammers lured victims into investing in cryptocurrency through extensive advertising campaigns ... Also in Zambia ... disrupted a suspected human trafficking network. They confiscated 372 forged passports from seven countries.
... inheritance scams continue to generate significant funds for criminal organizations. Officers in Côte d'Ivoire dismantled a transnational inheritance scam originating in Germany, arresting the primary suspect and seizing assets
Also egregious is how the authorities seemed particularly keen on conducting the tests even after a ban was announced, almost like a scramble for one last round of removals:
Local authorities started the testing on her in April – after an announcement in January that the ban was coming in. They completed the tests in June, at which point the law was in force. Brønlund was told three weeks before giving birth that her child would be taken away.
The event being centred on female founders doesn’t mean attendees at such an event cannot find a baby’s activity disruptive.
Seeing the post from the staff member involved [1] further outlines the founder’s mischaracterization of events:
The YC staff member says founder was actually offered use of alternative spaces where she could still hear the talk, both parties had a discussion during the break, she stayed for the entire conference and was never asked to leave.
It was a business conference, not a creche or playground and the norm for such environments IS adults only.
“That's when someone approached me and said, "Would you like to stroll your baby outside? I want people to get the full experience out of this conference.””
A perfectly reasonable request that I’d expect and have even proactively accommodated by stepping outside (vs just towards back of room) if I’d decided to attend with a baby. Author may not have felt her kid was noisy but chances are, the YC staff that approached her had noticed or been informed by other attendees that the noise was at distracting level.
“I’m not naming this woman because I think the problem is bigger than me or her. It's about this tension in the business world right now. To many people, including me, the pandemic showed that it was possible to be a hands-on mom and a hands-on business partner. Others want to maintain the status quo of business and babies as entirely separate. To me, that's ridiculous. To ask me to leave with a quietly cooing baby during a talk that was explicitly about the challenges of being a mother and founder was shocking. I realized then that the monster of systemic barriers to entrepreneurs who are also moms is bigger than I ever realized”.
It would be indeed be foolish to antagonize a YC partner in print over a paper thin argument that’s riddled with holes. Systemic barriers to female entrepreneurs including mothers exist but this wasn’t an instance of that and to suggest otherwise is what’s ridiculous.
