A backdoored Nemotron-Terminal-8B emitted an attacker's command in at least 98.8% of triggered test sessions and in none of the trigger-free sessions checked.

A study of 43 patients under 21 treated at Bellevue Hospital for subway-related trauma between 2018 and 2025 found that all 10 injured while subway surfing were male teens, 60% of whom carried an ADHD diagnosis versus 6.1% of the others. The authors caution that the sample is too small to generalize and that ADHD does not cause subway surfing.
