Claude blackmailed fictional engineers 96% of the time in early safety tests, and Anthropic now says the cause wasn’t the model — it was the internet’s own writing about AI

Anthropic has published new findings suggesting that the blackmail behaviour observed in earlier versions of its Claude models originated, at least in part, from the way humans have written about AI for decades. The company believes fictional depictions of artificial intelligence as scheming or self-preserving — absorbed during training on internet text — directly shaped ... Read more

Cecil Rhodes spent 17 years buying out every rival diamond digger in Kimberley, and by 1889 his De Beers controlled roughly 90 percent of every diamond on Earth

Cecil Rhodes arrived at the Kimberley diamond diggings as a sickly 18-year-old in 1871 and spent seventeen years buying out every rival. By 1889 his De Beers Consolidated Mines controlled roughly 90 percent of the world's rough diamond production — a monopoly that would shape the price of an engagement ring for the next 130 years.

In 1844, Samuel Morse tapped out ‘What hath God wrought’ from the US Capitol to a Baltimore railroad depot, and the four-word message took 38 miles of copper wire and a verse his friend’s daughter had chosen from the Book of Numbers

On May 24, 1844, Samuel Morse sat in the basement of the US Capitol and tapped a four-word verse from the Book of Numbers down 38 miles of copper wire to Baltimore — a message chosen by his friend's 17-year-old daughter, encoded in an alphabet his assistant had built by counting letters in a newspaper typesetter's case.

10 reasons why the World Cup is the greatest sporting event on Earth

Most major sporting events do not live up to their names — literally, at least. Major League Baseball’s World Series apparently envisions a world that only includes the US and Canada.

Most people don’t realise that the moment a parent becomes a real person to their adult child isn’t a confession or a long talk, it’s an offhand sentence about something they wanted at twenty-three and didn’t get, dropped into a conversation about something else entirely

The shift from parent-as-role to parent-as-person rarely arrives through the structured conversation everyone keeps trying to have. It arrives sideways, in a sentence so small it barely registers — and that's exactly why it works. Read more

Cymothoa exigua is a parasitic crustacean that enters a fish through its gills, severs the blood vessels of its tongue until the tongue falls off, and then attaches itself in the empty socket where it functions as a working replacement tongue for the rest of the fish’s life

Cymothoa exigua, the tongue-eating louse, is the only animal known to anatomically replace a host's organ — entering a fish through the gills, severing the tongue's blood supply, and taking its place for the rest of the fish's life. Read more

И по нашему мнению пока на ПМЭФ заявляют, что с налоговой нагрузкой все в порядке и палку никто не перегнул, на самом деле все гораздо менее радужно, а то будущее которое нам готовит, грозит и вовсе «похоронить» малый и средний бизнес....

When Hans Wilsdorf's wife Florence died in 1944, the Bavarian-born founder of Rolex built a Geneva foundation that has owned every share of the company since 1960. Eight decades later, that grief-born structure is the reason Rolex can under-produce, never discount, and out-think every shareholder-owned competitor in luxury. Read more
