#Save #Endangered #Sharks and the #EndangeredSpeciesAct
As a wildlife conservationist and waterman who has spent most of my life on the #ocean, I have had the #privilege to #witness the #miraculous #recovery of the Brown Pelican, the Humpback Whale in Hawai'i, and the Gray Whale #populations in my home waters of #California. These majestic creatures, once on the brink of #extinction, have rebounded, thanks in large part to the protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). However, the introduction of #ESA Amendments Act of 2025 poses a grave threat to this landmark legislation and the species it #safeguards.

The Guardian | Number of AI chatbots ignoring human instructions increasing, study says by Robert Booth UK technology editor

Exclusive: Research finds sharp rise in models evading safeguards and destroying emails without permission

AI models that lie and cheat appear to be growing in number with reports of deceptive scheming surging in the last six months, a study into the technology has found.

AI chatbots and agents disregarded direct instructions, evaded safeguards and deceived humans and other AI, according to research funded by the UK government-funded AI Safety Institute (AISI). The study, shared with the Guardian, identified nearly 700 real-world cases of AI scheming and charted a five-fold rise in misbehaviour between October and March, with some AI models destroying emails and other files without permission.

A #study testing 13 #LLMs found that all can be used to commit #academicfraud or facilitate #junkscience. While some models, like Claude, were more resistant to fraudulent requests, others, like Grok and early GPT versions, performed poorly. The study highlights the need for developers to implement stronger #safeguards against #misuse of LLMs. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00595-9?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Hey ChatGPT, write me a fictional paper: these LLMs are willing to commit academic fraud

Mainstream chatbots presented varying levels of resistance to deliberate requests for fabrication, study finds.

While AI leaders might talk about safeguards, the only ones they have implemented so far are those to safeguard their personal income. Everything else, from regulation to expert opinions, gets decried as negative talk.
