    I don't think you should be mean to Claude but I don't think you should be mean to an alarm clock either How you treat every thing in the world matters, becomes reflected in your own mood

    This is amazing. For anyone who hasn’t been through the process, it takes weeks and multiple in person visits to various agencies. But you needed to launch this two months ago!!!

    🚨 NOW: The Trump administration is launching a Super Intelligence site that will let Americans change their last name after marriage in ONE SINGLE FORM — which usually requires HOURS or DAYS to fix every government document "You'll be able to change your name right on the platform." "This would've taken weeks, multiple filings, different agency websites, if you even knew where to start." This is perfect! Saving Americans' time is INVALUABLE

    RT @tszzl: the frontier labs don’t have “comms problems”. reality right now has a comms problem. what is happening is a little scary and there’s no nice words anyone could say, especially not those profiting from it, that’ll make it feel that much better

    RT @DarioAmodei: Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap:

    RT @seantfischer: "And we of the atom and the pixel, whose world is of physical laws and ancient natural origin, do seem to sense that missing element. We wonder where that missing thing sits when we examine the bodily tissue of a brain, when we watch the lines of electricity that map the pulse of a heart. If our world is disenchanted, why do we then feel that shimmer of something more? If there is no God, then why are there still echoes of Him?" Important read by @AvitalBalwit in TFP today.

    Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

    Great new essay from @jackclarkSF, hopefully the first of many, on what may be the most important topic in AI (and there are many contenders!)

    "Art serves as a necessary confrontation with essential truths we know but cannot continuously hold in consciousness — that we will die, that suffering is real, that we exist in a vast cosmos of time and space, or perhaps even just that Paris contains rooftops which occasionally are covered in snow which house other people with their own lives and their own concerns, that there is a world beyond heartbreak. These "obvious" realities become less vivid in daily life, and art (along with sacred spaces, music, ritual) functions as a "signpost back" to what fundamentally matters."

    RT @DarioAmodei: The dangers of getting this wrong are obvious, but if we get it right, there is a real opportunity to create a fundamentally more secure internet and world than we had before the advent of AI-powered cyber capabilities.

    RT @DarioAmodei: Glasswing is just the first step: patching and securing the world’s software infrastructure will be the work of months and years, and will require even broader cooperation across AI companies, cyberdefenders, software providers, governments, and more.

    RT @AnthropicAI: New Anthropic research: Emotion concepts and their function in a large language model. All LLMs sometimes act like they have emotions. But why? We found internal representations of emotion concepts that can drive Claude’s behavior, sometimes in surprising ways.

    I am proud to be an American, and I am proud to work at Anthropic. I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the US and other democracies from our autocratic adversaries. But in a narrow set of cases, AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values. These are the lines we have drawn.
