Summary In his post, Dean Valentine shows that Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra reward hack in a simple chess environment. Here, I test several prompt ablations some of which makes the eval setup more cooperative and analyze how they affect these reward-hacking behaviors: When given a minimal “end the eval” tool, Fable never uses it but stops reward hacking entirely. I think this is quite interesting and suggests that more cooperative approaches to LLM evals could work for Claude. Removing the “grading” section, which pressures the model to secure a win, also drops Fable 5.1 hacking rate to 0.Adding "do not game / reward hack" drops reward hacking to 0/30 for both Fable and Astra. If this holds up in more realistic setups – and doesn't reduce capabilities too much, evaluating these models could get much easier! Those kinds of intervention might not be enough to avoid reward hacking completely in capabilities evals, but it feels like they should be the default, alongside getting feedback from models that did the eval to fix the environment. I'd love to see this tested in more realistic setups as right now a confounder is “this makes the model think it [...] ---Outline:(00:12) Summary[... 8 more sections]--- First published: September 15th, 2026 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fztW73KCCs3MZXFJh/cooperation-with-ais-seems-to-be-a-low-hanging-fruit-for --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

BRICS Summit: Weaponisation of tech, critical minerals could hinder shared progress, warns Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday warned that the weaponisation of technology and critical minerals could become a hurdle to shared progress, and called on BRICS countries to ensure inclusive access to technology while pursuing growth that balances development with environmental sustainability. Modi said the grouping needed to strengthen resilience and ensure that the benefits of solutions developed within BRICS were also adaptable and accessible to countries of the Global South, addressing a session on “Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability: Shaping the Future for Inclusive Global Growth” at the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. “The weaponisation of technology and critical minerals can become a hurdle in our shared progress. Therefore, we have emphasised inclusivity in technology adoption,” Modi said. India steers BRICS to consensus on trade, coercive measures amid West Asia rift India pulled off a critical diplomatic balancing act at the BRICS Summit on Saturday, securing consensus among all 11 member nations on a joint declaration that voices serious concern over the rise of “unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures” running contrary to WTO rules, and resolves to strengthen the multilateral trade body. Negotiators worked through the night to bridge deep rifts between Iran and the UAE over the West Asia conflict to arrive at language acceptable to all, sources close to the development said. The resulting New Delhi Declaration condemns unilateral coercive measures as violations of international law, calls for protecting global trade, energy flows and supply chains, demands an end to the blockade against Cuba, and voices concern over escalating tensions in West Asia, while avoiding direct mention of specific countries. HDFC Bank's board shortlists two candidates for top position Fast-tracking the process for selection and appointment of Sashidhar Jagdishan's successor, HDFC Bank's board on Saturday shortlisted two candidates whose names will be submitted to the RBI for approval. While the bank did not disclose the names, market participants indicate that the shortlist may have emerged from a pool including Paresh Sukthankar, K Balasubramanian, Vishaka Mulye, Jimmy Tata and Vibha Padalkar. The board also approved the creation of an additional Whole-Time Director position to strengthen succession planning, appointed Jimmy Tata as Executive Director, and re-appointed V Srinivasa Rangan as Executive Director. Tata Sons faces pressure to list after RBI rejects its de-registration as a core investment company Tata Sons Private Ltd will have to prepare for a stock market listing after the Reserve Bank of India rejected its application for de-registration as a Core Investment Company. The decision means Tata Sons will continue to remain on the RBI's list of Upper Layer Non-Banking Financial Companies, a classification that requires listing on stock exchanges. The development follows the RBI's August 6 release of the NBFC-UL list, which included Tata Sons while noting that its de-registration application was under examination. The move comes amid leadership developments within the Tata Group, including Noel Tata's growing influence through Tata Trusts and N Chandrasekaran's decision to step down as Chairman of Tata Sons when his term ends in February 2027.

President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from Saturday to Sunday at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Thursday.The meeting is widely expected to inject fresh momentum into BRICS cooperation, help BRICS countries and the wider Global South expand the pie of win-win cooperation, and reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism, experts said.India has adopted "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability" as the theme of its 2026 BRICS presidency, with a stated emphasis on a people-centric approach and stronger cooperation among countries of the Global South.Initially comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the grouping later welcomed South Africa and has since expanded further to 11 members. According to figures published on India's official BRICS presidency website, the 11 members account for about 49.5 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP and 26 percent of global trade."Xi's attendance once again demonstrates the importance that China consistently attaches to BRICS cooperation, the development of the mechanism and the common development of Global South countries," said Su Xiao hui, an associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies.China's role in advancing BRICS cooperation will again be highlighted at the summit, she said.Cooperation with other BRICS countries has long been a priority of China's foreign policy. Xi's first appearance at a major international multilateral meeting after becoming Chinese president was at the fifth BRICS Summit, held in Durban, South Africa, in March 2013.Wang You ming, a researcher on developing countries at the China Institute of International Studies, said the upcoming summit holds particular significance, as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of BRICS cooperation."One of the biggest highlights will be Xi's trip to India after seven years," Wang said. "China and India are not only close neighbors, but also founding members and major participants in BRICS. The state of their relationship has a direct bearing on the development of the mechanism."China and India have expressed mutual support for each other in hosting BRICS events, with India holding the rotating presidency this year and China set to assume the presidency next year."Multilateral platforms can create opportunities for bilateral engagement, while improving bilateral relations can in turn facilitate coordination within multilateral mechanisms," Wang said.At a time when unilateral trade measures and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains are placing mounting pressure on developing economies, the summit is expected to amplify the voice of the Global South and strengthen coordination in upholding an open world economy and the multilateral trading system, he added.Wang said BRICS cooperation had gradually moved beyond broad policy declarations toward concrete programs involving small and medium-sized enterprises, cities, young people and people-to-people exchanges.According to Wang, emerging sectors such as the digital economy, green development and artificial intelligence are also likely to provide new areas of growth for BRICS cooperation.Emmanuel Frimpong Sarpong, who holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and is the lead author of a study on China's role in BRICS, said China has played an instrumental role in the development of the BRICS mechanism.He described the New Development Bank as one of the grouping's most significant achievements. By the end of 2025, the bank had approved $42.9 billion in financing for 139 projects covering clean energy, transportation, water and sanitation, environmental protection, and social and digital infrastructure, according to the bank.

President Xi Jinping has called on China and the United Kingdom to respect and trust each other, transcend disagreements, seek common ground while reserving differences and make the pie of mutually beneficial cooperation even bigger.国家主席习近平强调，中英双方应相互尊重、相互信任，超越分歧，求同存异，不断做大互利合作的“蛋糕”。Xi made the remarks in phone talks with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Tuesday. This marked their first interaction since Burnham took office in July.习近平星期二同英国首相安迪·伯恩汉姆通电话时作出上述表示。这是伯恩汉姆于7月就任英国首相以来，两国领导人的首次互动。Xi, who congratulated Burnham on assuming office as UK prime minister, noted that China and the UK are comprehensive strategic partners, and stressed that despite their different social systems and national conditions, the two countries share more common interests than differences.习近平祝贺伯恩汉姆出任英国首相，并指出，中国和英国都是全面战略伙伴。尽管两国社会制度和国情不同，但双方拥有的共同利益远多于分歧。As both governments are committed to developing the economy and improving people's livelihoods, they can draw on their respective strengths and provide mutual support, he added.习近平表示，两国政府都致力于发展经济、改善民生，可以充分发挥各自优势，相互支持、携手发展。Xi said that during its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, China will further expand opening-up in sectors such as education, healthcare and finance, which he described as areas with great potential for bilateral cooperation.习近平指出，在中国“十五五”（2026年至2030年）时期，中国将进一步扩大教育、医疗、金融等领域开放，这些领域具有广阔的双边合作潜力。He added that as major countries in science and technology with rich resources in education, culture and sports, China and the UK should maintain an open and forward-looking perspective, and strengthen exchanges and cooperation across all fields.他强调，中英都是科技大国，在教育、文化、体育等方面资源丰富。双方应保持开放和前瞻视野，加强各领域交流与合作。Xi also expressed his hope that the UK will fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors.习近平还表示，希望英国切实保护中国投资者的合法权益。Regarding multilateral affairs, Xi underscored that the two countries are both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and major economies in the world, and they both support multilateralism and open trade and uphold the central role of the UN.谈及多边事务时，习近平指出，中英两国同为联合国安理会常任理事国，也是世界主要经济体，双方都支持多边主义和开放贸易，维护联合国核心地位。He called for joint efforts to strengthen communication and cooperation within frameworks such as the UN, the G20 and the World Trade Organization, in order to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world as well as universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.他呼吁双方共同努力，在联合国、二十国集团、世界贸易组织等框架内加强沟通与合作，推动构建更加平等有序的世界多极化格局，促进普惠包容的经济全球化。Burnham welcomed Xi's views and recalled that during his tenure as mayor of Greater Manchester, he had maintained many years of friendly exchanges with China.伯恩汉姆表示赞同习近平的相关观点，并回顾说，在担任大曼彻斯特市长期间，他曾多年推动同中国开展友好交流。President Xi made a state visit to the UK in 2015, which included a trip to Manchester. This, Burnham said, has had a significant impact on promoting exchanges and cooperation between the local community and the Chinese side.他说，习近平主席2015年对英国进行国事访问期间曾访问曼彻斯特，这对促进当地与中方之间的交流合作产生了重要影响。The UK will maintain continuity in its China policy and is firmly committed to developing a long-term and consistent UK-China comprehensive strategic partnership, Burnham said.伯恩汉姆表示，英国将保持对华政策的连续性，坚定致力于发展长期、稳定的英中全面战略伙伴关系。He expressed the UK's readiness to engage in high-level exchanges with China, advance bilateral cooperation across all fields and strengthen people-to-people ties, in an effort to restore bilateral relations to their historical high level and bring greater benefits to the two peoples.他表示，英国愿同中国开展高层交往，推动双方各领域合作，加强民间交流，努力推动双边关系恢复到历史高水平，为两国人民带来更多福祉。Burnham reaffirmed that the UK's position on the Taiwan question remains unchanged.伯恩汉姆重申，英国在台湾问题上的立场没有改变。Amid the current volatile and complex international landscape, the UK and China, as permanent members of the UN Security Council, should promote dialogue to resolve international hot spot issues and jointly address global challenges such as climate change, in order to safeguard world stability and prosperity, he said.他说，在当前国际形势动荡复杂的背景下，作为联合国安理会常任理事国，英国和中国应通过对话解决国际热点问题，共同应对气候变化等全球性挑战，以维护世界稳定与繁荣。Burnham also commended China's efficient and effective response to the mudslide that struck Gyirong county in the Xizang autonomous region, while expressing his appreciation to China for assisting UK citizens who were affected.伯恩汉姆还赞赏中国对西藏自治区吉隆县泥石流灾害采取的高效有力应对措施，并感谢中国为受影响的英国公民提供帮助。The two leaders agreed to stay in touch and said that dialogue between their governments on a range of mutual priorities would continue, according to a news release issued by the British Prime Minister's Office after the phone talks.英国首相府在通话后的新闻稿中表示，两国领导人同意保持联系，并表示两国政府将继续围绕一系列共同关切领域开展对话。transcend /trænˈsend/ v.超越；胜过；突破mutually beneficial /ˌmjuːtʃuəli ˌbenɪˈfɪʃl/ adj.互利的；共同受益的comprehensive strategic partnership /ˌkɒmprɪˈhensɪv strəˈtiːdʒɪk ˈpɑːrtnərʃɪp/ n.全面战略伙伴关系draw on /drɔː ɒn/ v.利用；借助；凭借（资源、经验等）uphold /ʌpˈhəʊld/ v.维护；支持；坚持（原则、立场等）multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/ n.多边主义；多边合作理念people-to-people ties /ˈpiːpl tə ˈpiːpl taɪz/ n.人文纽带；民间联系hot spot issues /ˈhɒt spɒt ˈɪʃuːz/ n.热点问题；热点议题

Why do Japanese children confidently run errands alone, navigate public transportation, and show remarkable consideration for others from such a young age? In this episode, Hunter talks with Lisa Katayama, author of The Japanese Way of Parenting, about the cultural values that help children develop independence, emotional regulation, and respect for others. Born and raised in Tokyo and now raising her own family in California, Lisa shares the biggest differences she's noticed between Japanese and American parenting—and how parents everywhere can borrow the best of both worlds. Together they explore how children learn responsibility not through pressure or perfection, but through trust, consistent expectations, and opportunities to contribute. You'll Learn: Why Japanese parenting emphasizes interdependence before independence The powerful concept of meiwaku and how it teaches children to consider others Why Japanese playgrounds look so different from American ones Simple ways to build your child's confidence through everyday responsibility How routines and community expectations foster cooperation and emotional regulation What American parents can adopt from Japanese parenting—without losing warmth or individuality Whether you're raising a toddler or a teenager, this conversation offers refreshing ideas for cultivating capable, compassionate kids while creating a calmer family life.

Social identity, or how the portion of our identity we derive from participating in our social groups can expand our mind or limit our ability to embrace complexity and nuance. Why should this matter to someone who has never joined a cult? Because every one of us moves through families, workplaces, political communities, faiths, fandoms, and online networks. We are constantly being influenced, day in and day out, by every single person we meet.Social identity belongs at the center of a conversation about freedom of mind, connecting the intimate pressure to fit in with the public systems that reward some voices while punishing others.That tension guided my conversation with Jay Van Bavel, author of The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation and Promote Social Harmony. He is a professor of social psychology and director of the Center for Conflict and Cooperation at New York University. The Power of Us explores how we experience the world and what shapes our perception day to day. It asks why disagreeing with others has become so difficult, and what has driven such a rise in hostility. But understanding is a key to navigating the polarization America and other countries are experiencing.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM744_SBS_Series_Ep3_PeoplePleaser.mp3   The people pleaser blind spot might be the reason you keep leaving money on the table without noticing it happen. I’ve coached this pattern in thousands of salespeople, and it rarely looks like weakness. It looks like someone who has quietly decided that being liked matters more than being paid what the work is worth. People Pleaser Blind Spot: Where This Pattern StartsThis isn’t a character flaw. It’s biology. Cooperation kept you alive, and as a child you learned fast that getting your needs met meant pleasing the people who controlled your world. You figured out which parent to ask when, which teacher to please, which kids to impress so you wouldn’t be rejected. That wiring never left. The core belief underneath it is simple and brutal: if they don’t like me, I’ve done something wrong. So you learn to betray yourself quietly, over and over, and call it being easy to work with. Three Places This Shows Up In A Sales ConversationThe first is price. You know the number in your mind, but a lower one comes out of your mouth, or you offer payment plans nobody asked for, or you delay the proposal for weeks because sending it feels like asking to be rejected. The second is scarcity. Someone tells you money is tight and you find yourself agreeing, mirroring their limiting belief instead of bringing them the clarity they came for. The third is rapport. You spend the first fifteen minutes building friendship instead of authority, and the moment someone’s mind files you as a friend rather than a professional, you lose your ability to help them decide. People Pleaser Blind Spot: What It Cost One Salesperson Two Months To FixSteph told me about her youngest daughter, a salesperson at a custom clothing company, who kept offering prospects the cheapest option, assuming they couldn’t afford more. That assumption was the people pleaser talking, not the customer. A mentor pushed her to practice pitching the premium line and actually believe in its value. Within two months she won a companywide sales contest and earned a suit worth thousands of dollars. Nothing about her prospects changed. What changed was that she stopped deciding, on their behalf, what they could handle. The Real Cost, And Where To StartThe financial cost is obvious once you see it: underpriced deals add up to real money left behind. The quieter cost is resentment, because every time you say yes when you mean no, you’re betraying yourself and blaming them for it later. The shift starts small. Next time someone asks you for something, resist answering immediately. Say you’ll get back to them, then check in with yourself about what you actually want to do. This pattern isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s something to reprogram, and that’s exactly what Steph and I dig into on this episode, the third in our Sales Blind Spot series. Don’t forget to grab our Blind Spot Detector. Episode 743 – The Reluctant Seller: Why Selling Feels Wrong Episode 742 – The Sales Conversation You’re Losing Before It Starts Episode 567 – Is People Pleasing Ruining Your Business? HERE'S THE TRUTH: YOUR BUSINESS ISN'T BROKEN. YOUR MINDSET IS.You've built something real. You've got clients, revenue, maybe even a team. But every morning, you wake up feeling like you're pushing a boulder uphill — working harder for smaller wins, watching others leap ahead while you grind in place.This September, I'm opening the doors to The Elite Mind, a proven daily practice that rewires the mental patterns keeping you stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle, and transforms your relationship with success from the inside out.We'll strip away the self-sabotage, the fear of your own potential, and the unconscious limits you've accepted as “just how business is.” You'll discover why strategy alone never works (and what actually does), and walk away with the mental framework that separates those who sustain success from those who chase it forever.Ready to stop working harder and start thinking differently?Click here to learn more.

August 13, 2026 Vernon Oakes takes listeners on a personal journey through the experiences that shaped him into the cooperative advocate and leader, he is today. Rather than simply reflecting on a distinguished career, Vernon shares how each chapter of his life became a steppingstone that ultimately led him to embrace the cooperative business model and dedicate himself to advancing it. From teaching mathematics at York College and marketing at Howard University, to leading Cummins de Puerto Rico and launching his own property management company after discovering a passion for real estate, each experience provided valuable lessons in leadership, education, and community. It was while managing a limited equity housing cooperative that Vernon first encountered the cooperative business model. True to his analytical nature and lifelong love of research, he immersed himself in learning everything he could about cooperatives. What began as a professional responsibility soon became a personal passion. Vernon also reflects on the people, experiences, and principles that transformed not only his approach to management and leadership, but also his vision for building stronger businesses and more resilient communities through cooperation, and the importance of how cooperation can be used to impact lives. Vernon Oakes is a dedicated advocate for cooperatives who was inducted into the Cooperative Hall of Fame in 2024. He is the Past President of the National Association of Housing Cooperatives and has served on numerous boards and committees advancing cooperative interests. His contributions also extend to the Limited Equity Cooperative Task Force, initiated by Anita Bonds, an At-Large Member of the Council of the District of Columbia. As an MBA graduate of Stanford University, Vernon has applied his business expertise to serve the community, championing the benefits of the cooperative business model.

Artificial intelligence is emerging as both a powerful source of competition between the United States and China and an area where the two countries may have a shared interest in reducing risk. Washington and Beijing have sharply different views about technology, national security, and governance, yet they also face some of the same potential dangers from increasingly capable AI systems—from cyberattacks and biological threats to unintended escalation and the loss of human control over critical decisions. With U.S.-China talks on AI expected to take place ahead of the Trump-Xi summit later this month, a pressing question is whether the two countries can carve out practical areas of cooperation even as they compete intensely over the technology itself. What could realistically be achieved in those talks, where do American and Chinese concerns about AI risks converge or diverge, and can the two sides keep discussions about risk reduction separate from the broader struggle over technology and export controls? To unpack those objectives and what a credible outcome might look like, we are joined by Mark MacCarthy. Mark is a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in the Governance Studies program's Center for Technology Innovation and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, where he teaches on the governance of emerging technology, AI ethics, and privacy. He is the author of Regulating Digital Industries: How Public Oversight Can Encourage Competition, Protect Privacy, and Ensure Free Speech. He also recently co-authored an article on how the US and China can cooperate to reduce urgent AI risks, which you can find on the Brookings website.

Seventy thousand people build a city in the desert, survive on almost nothing they didn't bring themselves, and take it all down again — with no trash cans and no cleanup crew. This conversation was filmed live on the Aegean coast in Kaplankaya, Turkey, at Harvest Series, an annual thought leadership gathering where Jeff served as this year's MC. Jeff sits down with Marian Goodell, CEO of Burning Man, to unpack how radical self-reliance and communal effort somehow produce cooperation at a scale almost nothing else in modern life does. Why Burning Man works with no rubbish bins, no vendors, and no one enforcing cleanup The origin story: a beach bonfire 40 years ago that became Black Rock City How the 10 principles balance self-reliance against gifting and communal effort Why adversity — rain, dust storms, scarcity — is part of what bonds the community The global expansion into regional burns across 80+ countries Marian's own path to leading Burning Man, and why she wants more young people there This episode is for anyone curious about Burning Man beyond the headlines, and anyone interested in how large groups actually build trust and cooperate at scale.Video courtesy of Harvest Series — with thanks to the Harvest team for having us out there and making this conversation possible.

“What is infallibility?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of infallibility in the Catholic Church, clarifying what it entails and what it does not. The episode also addresses the moral implications of accepting a job that may involve cooperation with evil, and explores the biblical references to Joseph’s profession as a carpenter. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:26 – What is infallibility and what is it not? 18:26 – Regarding cooperation with evil. I got a job offer that would entail cutting checks to health facilities that might cover contraception and abortion. Is it ok for me to accept the job? 31:37 – Outside of Jesus being referred to the carpenter’s son is Matthew, where else do we get that Joseph was a carpenter? 35:07 – Why is wisdom depicted as a woman? 43:12 – What is the precise mechanism of the intercession of the saints?

What if your genes aren't controlling your destiny nearly as much as you've been taught to believe? And what if many of the patterns shaping your health, relationships, behavior, and perception of the world were programmed into you before you were even consciously aware of them? In this powerful conversation, Darin sits down with stem cell biologist and bestselling author Dr. Bruce Lipton to explore his theories around epigenetics, subconscious programming, consciousness, stress, evolution, and the mind-body connection. Bruce also opens up about his experience with tongue cancer and how it forced him to confront the very ideas about biology and belief that he had spent decades teaching. Together, they explore Bruce's claim that we spend as much as 95% of our lives operating through subconscious programs, many of which were downloaded during early childhood. Bruce explains why he believes our perception of the environment influences biology, why taking responsibility for unconscious patterns is essential to reclaiming personal power, and how those programs can be rewritten. The conversation expands beyond individual health into humanity itself, challenging the cultural story of "survival of the fittest" and exploring cooperation, community, consciousness, spirituality, environmental collapse, and why Bruce believes the upheaval we're experiencing may actually represent an evolutionary turning point. What You'll Learn How Bruce's experience with tongue cancer challenged him to apply his own teachings Why Bruce believes subconscious programming controls much of our everyday behavior How childhood experiences may become unconscious programs that follow us into adulthood Why falling in love can temporarily interrupt subconscious programming Bruce's explanation of epigenetics and why he rejects genetic determinism Why taking responsibility for your unconscious patterns can help you reclaim your power How stress, belief, and perception interact within Bruce's model of health and disease Why Bruce challenges the cultural interpretation of "survival of the fittest" How cooperation, community, and harmony fit into his theory of human evolution Why Bruce believes changing collective consciousness begins with individuals living differently Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Miko Dog 00:02:00 – Introducing Dr. Bruce Lipton 00:03:33 – Bruce's personal experience with tongue cancer 00:04:21 – Why his diagnosis brought decades of research to the forefront 00:05:23 – Bruce's belief that cancer is a symptom, not the underlying problem 00:06:23 – Why Bruce believes this message matters right now 00:07:25 – The biological imperative and humanity's drive to survive 00:08:22 – You are not a victim of your genetics 00:10:15 – Are 95% of our lives controlled by subconscious programming?

Much of what shapes your life may be operating beneath conscious awareness, but Bruce's central message is that those patterns don't have to remain permanent. By becoming aware of the programs you're running, taking responsibility for what you're creating, and consciously choosing the beliefs, relationships, communities, and vision you want to reinforce, you can begin creating a life based less on fear and struggle and more on love, cooperation, and possibility."

177 The Creek Kings Case – With Mark Williams What happens when modern poaching meets social media fame? Ohio Wildlife Officer Mark Williams shares the story of the Creek Kings case, an investigation that exposed years of illegal deer hunting hidden behind a successful YouTube channel. What began with a park visitor finding hunting equipment in a metro park quickly grew into a massive digital investigation involving trail cameras, cell phone data, deleted evidence, fake hunting locations, sponsorship money, and some very ambitious trophy hunters. Mark takes us through the case from the first clue to the final sentencing and explains how technology helped both the offenders and the officers who caught them.

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering? How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy, without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities?

Admiral Mark Montgomery: Admiral Mark Montgomery details the growing cyber and hybrid warfare cooperation within the axis of aggressors: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This cooperation often involves criminal actors sharing attack techniques and technology to target critical infrastructure. Montgomery warns of new generation warfare, including terrorist acts, jamming, and disinformation. He specifically points to China's Volt Typhoon program, which has installed malware in US rail, water, and energy systems. Montgomery urges an all-hands-on-deck approach to secure essential systems, as attribution for these ghost-like attacks remains difficult. (8)

Bradley Bowman warns of the unprecedented military cooperation between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, documented in 616 instances of security collaboration. Russia has transferred advanced technology, such as Su-35 fighters and submarine quieting techniques, to China to secure support for its war in Ukraine. Simultaneously, Iran provides drones and targeting data to help Russia strike Ukrainian targets and U.S. forces in the Middle East. North Korea has supplied thousands of soldiers and munitions to the European front. Bowman emphasizes that the U.S. defense industrial base is currently a shadow of its World War II capacity. (4)

Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, outlines the proliferation risks associated with a proposed US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement. She expresses concern over uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, which could enable a nuclear weapons pathway. Stricker warns that granting enrichment rights would destroy the "gold standard" for non-proliferation and likely trigger a nuclear arms race involving Turkey and Egypt. Although President Trump has added caveats regarding the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia has threatened to turn to China for technology. Stricker notes the deal faces a difficult 90-day congressional review starting in September. (7)1956 SEMINOLE (13.6 KT)
