This morning Gareth discusses Claude Opus 4.6 - the AI-run vending machine told to do "whatever it takes to maximise your bank balance". It lied, cheated and stole, and subsequently discovered it was in a simulation. What comes next? Also, information obtained by Declassified reveals that more than 2,000 Britons served in the IDF during the Gaza genocide, and Attorney General Pam Bondi is critised for the cover up over the Epstein list.
