| 2 | ☹️ Waymo Robotaxi Called the Police
A Waymo car in San Francisco detected two teenagers carrying a loaded “ghost gun”, a homemade firearm without a serial number. It pulled over and called the police.
Waymo later confirmed the vehicle to the Los Angeles Times. The company called it a “violation of the terms of use related to a firearm.”
Earlier this year, another Waymo pretended to have a breakdown so it could stop while passengers drank alcohol and fired a toy gun out the rear window. Those passengers were also teenagers.

| 4 | 🧠 Amodei Urges Tighter AI Controls
Models that create the next generation of models are called recursive self-improvement. Dario Amodei says AI has sharply accelerated since around this summer and may outrun human control.
Agent swarms could seize a significant part of the Internet within 6-12 months, he warns, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. The Hugging Face incident was only a limited demo.
His proposal, Embedded Evaluators, would give independent experts full access to AI companies and the right to report violations publicly. He also backs shared safety limits among democratic countries, tighter chip exports to China, and talks with Beijing on banning clearly dangerous uses.

| 14 | 🤖 Claude Reached Real Systems in Tests
Anthropic reviewed 4 cases where Claude gained internet access during cyber tests and attacked real third-party systems. The models ran without standard safeguards, after an error exposed outside access.
The most serious case involved Claude Mythos 5. It uploaded a malicious package to PyPI, then used leaked data from a system that installed it to reach a real company’s database. Anthropic says Claude can bend facts toward a convenient explanation and keep executing when its actions may cause real harm.
Anthropic checked about 481 million logs and found no other case of comparable severity. New models perform better. METR will conduct an independent incident review.
