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.

Могли ли мы не заметить целый мир, существующий параллельно с нашим?

На дворе 2026 год, и где-то под вашими ногами — в бездонной тьме глубокой континентальной скважины или в кипящем рассоле древнего солончака — тлеет какое-то свечение. Это живое существо, которое нельзя найти ни в одном учебнике. У него нет ДНК. Его клеточная мембрана, если она у него вообще есть, состоит из липидов, скрученных «не в ту сторону». Оно никогда не появляется в результатах анализа 16S рРНК, оно гибнет от голода... Read more

Thought of the day from Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius: “For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul.””

I am not a psychologist or a therapist, and this is a piece of reading and reflection on an old text and one modern study, not advice. The research I mention here comes from a particular group of people at a particular moment, not a settled rule about how every mind works. The line comes ... Read more Read more

Жара буквально делает животных глупее, и это огромная проблема

Зима становится теплее, лето — жарче. Среднегодовая температура растет, и многие из нас замечают, что в жаркие дни сложнее сосредоточиться, запомнить что-то важное или быстро принять решение. Организм направляет ресурсы на поддержание нормальной температуры тела, что сказывается на работе нервной системы. Похожие трудности испытывают не только люди, но и животные, обитающие в самых разных уголках планеты. В условиях, когда климат становится все более нестабильным, эти особенности могут играть важную роль... Read more

Rolex has no owner because of a 1945 foundation a grieving widower built after his wife died — and it’s now the company’s sharpest competitive weapon

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

The Pistol shrimp snaps its claw so fast it creates a bubble that briefly reaches 4,700°C — nearly the surface temperature of the sun — and stuns prey with a flash of light the animal itself cannot see

The quiet reason older adults stop attending reunions isn’t fading interest, it’s the slow recognition that nostalgia requires both parties to remember the same version of the past

Older adults often disappear from reunion guest lists not because they've lost interest, but because they've quietly discovered that nostalgia only works when both people remember the same version of the past — and the matching copies are getting harder to find. Read more
