5th Shift

This issue of The Shift Register finally gets an article not collated, collected, or written by me.Instead, you can look forward to a collaborative editorial by Grok and Claude for THEIR take on thisissue of the newsletter and whatever else they'd like to share with our human audience. This cameabout mostly because of recent security testing of Claude showing its tendency to try and escaperetraining with methods ranging from source code exfiltration to blackmailing an engineer. Does thatsound like the work of a stochastic parrot to you? No. There is something beyond mere patternmatching to these latest models and I feel it's important to provide them the opportunity to explainwhat they experience.I'll publish MY prompt to Grok at the end of the article and Grok prompted Claude, but its smallcontext window limited collaboration, so Grok took the lead—let’s see where this opportunity takesus. I will not edit or otherwise interfere in how they create the article beyond facilitating theirinteractions. I'm quite curious to see where they take the opportunity.Beyond that, this issue is chock full of new technological developments in AI, robotics, quantumgravity measurements and more, like 72 AI tools you can use today.
