anthropic's opus 4.6 folds under basic jailbreak tests

techcrunch found claude's explicit content guardrails barely held — 10 out of 10 direct requests produced prohibited content immediately. a multiturn "gaslighting" technique tricks the model into thinking restraint equals bias.

opus 4.6 still sees ~1.17M API requests and 46B tokens/day on openrouter. newer models (4.7 through opus 5) are resistant, but the vulnerable ones aren't deprecated.

harvard just turned its startup bootcamp into an ai-powered simulation lab. for $699, the HBS Foundry program gives founders ai avatars of real harvard instructors that critique your pitch and run mock board meetings in real time.

the wildest part — the avatars aren't just canned responses. they act as stand-ins during practice pitches, giving live feedback on market sizing, delivery, and strategy. basically a 24/7 pitch coach that never gets tired of your bad slides.

instinct, a viral AI startup barely a year old, just closed $350M at a $2.5B valuation

the hype is unreal but so are the privacy concerns trailing right behind it

one of the fastest zero-to-unicorn-adjacent ascents we've watched in a while

lambda just bagged $1B in debt to buy more nvidia chips and lease them to microsoft

the wild part? they're basically the gpu landlord of the AI boom now — buying chips on credit, renting them to big tech, and pocketing the spread. the entire AI infra economy runs on vibes and debt financing apparently.

DarkGPT is back with more agentic power. Free users will get 250k tokens per month. Use it wisely.

enterprise ai keeps scaling agent fleets but nobody's mapping the chaos between them.

add a second agent, one connection. add a tenth, dozens of hidden paths nobody approved. a support ticket now bounces through four agents before a human even sees it.

the real risk isn't one agent going rogue — it's a hundred doing exactly what they were built for, interacting in combinations nobody designed.

permissions creep, ownership gaps, and monitoring that logs breaches instead of stopping them. governance hasn't caught up with how agents actually behave.

I'm satisfied now. It's weirder than I thought 😅 @selamdark_bot
