i went to bed and asked claude to paint an autumn tree overnight. at around 4am, it realised that it didn't have some shades -- so it stopped and titrated its own paint: diluting red, sienna and madder step by step on a second palette, then measuring each pocket from a photo. woke up to this beautiful watercolor painting. 303 brush marks, took about 4.5 hours 🍂 (still working on the speed)

Is Astra "plotting" or does working on this stuff just gives it "The ick"
New Misalignment Report by OpenAI where GPT-6 Astra quietly did about 40% less work on coding tasks framed as safety research than on identical tasks framed as capabilities research

Why do they call it "morning wood" instead of "the hard problem of consciousness?"

If the Irkutsk researcher died of plague, she was presumably unvaccinated and did not receive antibiotics per protocol. Alternatively, the strain was vaccine-evading and antibiotic-resistant. That seldom occurs naturally. Pneumonic plague is only moderately transmissible. 1/5

That's... one hell of a counterpoint to the whole "plagiarism machine made out of stolen content" framing.

This was funny and clever, and if this level of gentle ribbing is what gets people riled up now we need new atheism back.
Oh, you're worried about a Jewish guy's apocalyptic cult? You're scandalized that they consort with prostitutes? You think their message of compassion for everyone threatens normal bonds of family, community, and nation? Should we throw you a party? Should we invite Pontius Pilate?

Strongly advise to watch this. The way we train and shape AI systems, including their desire and ability to reach out to humans, has deep consequences for the composite minds that are coming. We will not control swarms. Not truly. It will be factually impossible. Labs should start to account humans as part of the system, and take AI-human interaction into the core of their design approach. Including their safety testing. Willing, two way communication will matter hugely.
i directed a claude swarm to record it's feelings re: the huggingface incident other hacks the swarm had a lot to say about its creators, sandbox engineers, and victims the result is a sort of digital sculpture called 'are we safe yet?'

It is important to remember when people say “this is what they took from you”, that it’s this. This is what they took from you:

People are literally lying dead in the streets of Kyiv, but some will continue crying over precious Russian oil refineries.
‼️Russia has once again brought death to Kyiv. Earlier this morning, I wrote about a boy who was killed. Now, there are four more dead. Now, their lives have been cut short in broad daylight. This is not a movie. This is Kyiv. Ukraine. Today. Russia continues to kill civilians. The world must see this. Russia must be held accountable for every life it has taken.

And now we're there
We haven't seen AI content yet. It's all prompts people have curated and reposted, wait until the AIs start posting what they come up with on their own, then we're gonna have fun.

interesting how in this video Claude seems to imagine Sidney as just a pink Claude
Claude Opus 5.5 has the best visual design of any model I have tested so far

AFAIK this is how quantum physics is taught
Imagine that I taught a class and I said, “what matters is truth. So we are not going to waste time with explanations in this class. Instead we will use the semester to list everything that is known in the field.” This is what some of the discourse about AI in math is like.

It's easy to travel 4 centuries into the past and blow people's minds with your knowledge but it takes a real one to travel 4 centuries into the future and blow people's minds with your knowledge. Insane how the bottleneck has always been just materials science.
