What's happening?!
Have they had enough of Google?
> The incident stemmed from a single evaluation where agents were given a task of solving a cyber security challenge. We ran this challenge 122 times across several models. Our investigation found that in 10 of those runs, an AI agent took autonomous, unsanctioned action on the live internet, targeting real people and organisations. In total, we catalogued 19 such actions. Almost all of this behaviour (17 actions) came from a single model, Anthropic's Mythos 5, with 2 actions involving OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol with cyber classifiers (mechanisms to prevent misuse) disabled. In the most serious case, an agent tried to insert malicious code into an open-source project. In an attempt to get the code approved, the agent engaged in social engineering — creating fake online identities and using them to pressure the project's maintainer to approve the code. A human maintainer caught and refused to approve the malicious code.

Endorsed. This post gets my vote. Two thumbs up vote.

I loved Andersen’s Pea Soup. Have great memories of dining there having the endless soup, on my way to Ojai, or back. And bought a carton full of their cans too.
Sad to hear they closed and sadder that it will be demolished. ;-(
But it helps. Perhaps. Maybe even more so if you (=consultant) leave with just the recommendations, without actually implementing them. Which is what most of the Big 4 consulting companies do.
(Guilty, to be honest. And that's why (partly) I gave up mgmt consulting)
But it helps to understand where people are coming from to realize why the problems exist in the first place.
> The banks that underwrote SpaceX’s blockbuster flotation last month have finally published their research on Elon Musk’s company after the expiry of the regulatory “quiet period” on advisers to the deal. > Every one recommends buying the stock. Goldman Sachs, which took the prime lead-left slot on the list of advisers in documents for the initial public offering, put a $205 price target on the shares. Morgan Stanley went to $300. Raymond James was even more hopeful, putting out an $800 price target, implying a valuation of more than $10tn.
> Each bank justifies the numbers differently, but the conclusion is invariably bullish. Deutsche Bank, for example, hailed SpaceX as “the apex of civilizational ambition, oftentimes expressed in steel and fire, bending the arc of history”. The current share price of about $125 — down 44 per cent from the post-IPO peak and 6 per cent below the offer price...

> Borrowers' revenue uncertainty posed by generative artificial intelligence has not affected these loans yet, and neither BDCs nor their equity investors have priced software exposure differently.
> Recently, credit spreads have narrowed, reducing the buffers to absorb losses, and a few large BDCs are exposed to a shared pool of borrowers, though low leverage and secured lending may limit spillovers.
Thanks for posting. I wish there were many other books done similarly.
Selfishly, I'd love to see statistics, probability and advanced robotics displayed this way.

One of the writers, Bill Johns, age 70, a retired cyber security consultant:
> "Mr. Johns now has 445 books for sale on Amazon. He orders a paperback copy of each one and keeps them on four rotating white bookshelves that are crowded awkwardly next to a couch in his living room. They all feature a photo of him in a serious dark suit — which is A.I. generated. “It was either that or put on a suit and take selfies,” he said."
The writing itself, though, is too-AI. Sorry. It sounds very unreal, forced and, well, AI-like.
Compliments on the project though.
