When James Hicks, 75, was diagnosed with heart failure, it felt like the beginning of the end. Mr. Hicks, a former railroad worker from Rogers, Ark., had quietly dealt with various health problems, from carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms to dual knee replacements. But now his heart was giving out, and the doctors chalked it up to the wear and tear of old age. “There’s just not exactly a surgery to fix this,” he said.

Lyudmila Lucienne/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways New research from Anthropic identifies model characteristics, called persona vectors. This helps catch bad behavior without impacting performance. Still, developers don't know enough about why models hallucinate and behave in evil ways. Why do models hallucinate, make violent suggestions, or overly agree with users? Generally, researchers don't really know. But Anthropic just found new insights that could help stop this behavior before it happen
