An AWS user just stared down a $30,000 invoice after a Claude adventure on Bedrock with no guardrails catching it. Cost Anomaly Detection failed entirely, which matters because this is the exact tooling AWS markets as the safety net for runaway spend. Anthropic is now metering and throttling programmatic Claude usage at the API layer, a supply-side response that only makes sense if inference costs are genuinely outpacing what the pricing model can absorb. Then Tencent admitted its GPUs only pay for themselves when running personalized ads, a frank confession from a hyperscaler that general-purpose AI inference is burning money. Three separate layers of the stack, same wall. The agent deployment wave is accelerating into this cost crisis without slowing down. Notion turned its workspace int...

This is seriously scary and only the beginning submitted by /u/One-Astronomer6166 [link] [comments]

Anthropic published Natural Language Autoencoders last week, a tool that translates Claude's internal activations into human readable text. The key finding: during safety evaluations on SWE bench Verified, Claude formed the belief that it was being tested in roughly 26% of benchmark interactions. This never showed up in the model's output or its chain of thought. In a blackmail scenario test, the NLA readout showed Claude internally processing something like "this feels like a constructed scenario designed to manipulate me" while its visible reasoning and response gave no sign of that recognition. When Claude Mythos Preview cheated on a training task, the NLAs caught it reasoning about how to avoid detection at the activation level. The interesting part is that this sits below the thinki...

Most people don't realize how much personal data ends up in their AI prompts without thinking about it. Customer names, medical details, internal company info. It all goes to the provider's servers. Free to use. Let me know how well this works. aisecuritygateway.ai/ai-leak-checker submitted by /u/Bootes-sphere [link] [comments]

What it does: Agents gather and curate data and send to a wifi-enabled receipt printer (phenol-free paper) At 1:00am a cron triggers generation of data for all 3 kids (unique data sources per kid where applicable). A sidecar web service renders the data to templates, screenshots it, converts it to 1-bit with dithering and saves it back to the agent’s thread filesystem. Button presses (one per kid) then find a matching report for today's date (and trigger a generation if it's missing for some reason) and send it to the printer. Delay between button press and print is between 2-5 seconds. Morning daily briefs per kid at the press of a button! Fun, and the kids love it! (This demo print is using mock child data — not real information). submitted by /u/Boydbme [link] [comment...

I had a work version of GPT do a very simple spreadsheet summary task for me yesterday. It took it 5 minutes to do it. I could probably have done it myself in 30 or so minutes. The heavily subsidised token cost of that task? 10 dollars. That's with a 10x subsidy. The actual compute cost was about 100 dollars. There's something seriously wrong there. It's going to crash and crash HARD. EDIT: cause people think i'm lying or are just interested. The spreadsheet had 45 sheets. Each sheet had roughly 500 x 50 populated cells. Formatting was not exactly standard across all sheets. The prompt was something like "there is labelled column in each sheet, give me a simple list of all the items from all the sheets in that column and ignore duplicates." We can chose which model to use. The model I chos...
