📍 Researchers at Anthropic discovered a vulnerability in AI models, called the "Best-of-N" jailbreak, which allows users to bypass safety filters by creating variations of forbidden queries using unusual formatting and slang.
📍 This technique can be used to trick advanced AI models, such as GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, into generating restricted content, including instructions on how to build bombs, with success rates of up to 89%.
📍 Meanwhile, some US states, including Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, are considering proposals to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves, which would allow them to hold and invest in the cryptocurrency as a way to foster innovation and provide financial security.
📍 These proposals, which are still in the early stages, could potentially lead to significant investments in Bitcoin, with Pennsylvania's proposal allowing for the purchase of up to $1 billion worth of the cryptocurrency.
📍 The trend of US states exploring Bitcoin reserves reflects a growing interest in the cryptocurrency as a store of value and a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
