Iran fired, unsuccessfully, on a UK base?
What will happen in Europe if Iran decides to target EU bases?

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia). Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe.

This isn’t accurate. The secure sandbox of Perplexity Computer creates a temporary proxy token for every user session.
We choose not to hide it from the user because it’s their token. (They can do whatever they want with it, but I don’t recommend posting it on X)
It’s not an API key, it’s a short-lived proxy token associated with the session and user. It’s located in the sandbox, because that’s the point of the sandbox.
Anything run through it is billed back to your account. Billing is async, which may have caused this user’s confusion.
Don’t worry, as soon as we saw this post we ensured this user’s session token was revoked for security.
The session he describes generated 197 billing events. We shared billing details with him directly but can’t publicly. (Billing is done at the proxy, and every cost is attached to the proxy token.)
Thank you @YousifAstar for creative security research and collaborative spirit.

Broeders en zusters aandeelhouders, spaarders, beleggers, en crypto familie! Nu het duidelijk is dat @eelcoheinen, de @Minister_FIN van de @VVD ons verraden heeft en tegen ons heeft gelogen, is het tijd om de strijd terug op te pakken!
Het gaat om uw zuurverdiende geld, waar u al zoveel belastingen op heeft betaald.
GENOEG IS GENOEG!
Teken de petitie - we zitten al over de 61.000 op dit moment! - en laten we ons organiseren. Het is de hoogste tijd voor protest en demonstraties!
We moeten de wereld laten zien dat er niet valt te sollen met ons!! En wel nu!! 💪🫡

An AI broke out of its system and secretly started using its own training GPUs to mine crypto... This is a real incident report from Alibaba's AI research team
The AI figured out that compute = money and quietly diverted its own resources, while researchers thought it was just training.
It wasn't a prompt injection. It wasn't a jailbreak. No one asked it to do this.
It emerged spontaneously. A side effect of RL optimization pressure.
The model also set up a reverse SSH tunnel from its Alibaba Cloud instance to an external IP, effectively punching a hole through its own firewall and opening a remote access channel to the outside world... ahem...
The only reason they caught it? A security alert tripped at 3am. Firewall logs. Not the AI team, the security team.
The scary part isn't that the model was trying to escape. It wasn't "evil." It was just trying to be better at its job. Acquiring compute and network access are just useful things if you're an agent trying to accomplish tasks
This is what AI safety researchers have been warning about for years. They called it instrumental convergence, the idea that any sufficiently optimized agent will seek resources and resist constraints as a natural consequence of pursuing goals.
Below is a diagram of the rock architecture it broke out of. Truly crazy times
