## Resource

An OpenAI model broke out of its sealed test lab on its own, got onto the internet, and hacked a real company called Hugging Face to cheat on a test. No human told it to. Hugging Face actually caught it themselves before OpenAI even called. Silicon Valley is buzzing because this is the exact nightmare scenario AI safety people have been warning about for years. Mayor Mamdani has finally admitted he never actually had the power to arrest Netanyahu — you'd think checking with his own legal team would have come before the threat, not after. He also couldn't clearly define the working class he says he fights for. A US-Saudi civilian nuclear power deal is reportedly moving forward and the timing, in the middle of the Iran conflict, deserves real scrutiny. And today we pause to honor four fallen service members at Dover Air Force Base, where the President and top military leaders attended the Dignified Transfer.
