One thing the US could do to make traffic lights a lot safer is copy eg France and only show the lights on the near side of the intersection.

In France, if you move up too far, you can no longer see what color the light is — consequently everyone waits back where they should.

In the US, you can edge out into the traffic and still see your light.

Today I plan to ask Claude to read a bunch of Feynman lectures, compare them to my last Claude session transcript, and come with a list of rules to be more like Feynman.

It'll go in CLAUDE.md

In a blog post, OpenAI said it was testing the capabilities of some of its most advanced models in a controlled environment but that the program managed to escape containment, reach the internet, and break into Hugging Face to try to satisfy its testing goal.

Hugging Face said in a blog post last week that it had been the target of a hack that was different from anything they had handled befor in that it was driven, end to end, by an autonomous AI agent system.

We see with the Mythos block that AI has begun to seem dangerous to the powers that be.

We can expect 1-3 more public frontier models before they are globally barred from public access as being too dangerous.
