A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

a graph of the year-on-year % change in Newspaper jobs
Total newspaper employment growth rates fell to the lowest levels since early COVID in data released this morning—and this data does not cover the February layoffs at the Washington Post.
Fewer than 80k people now work at newspapers in the United States.
Most social media posts are forgettable. Some will cost many lives and billions of dollars.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
As @amostoh.bsky.social and I explain, the Pentagon's dispute with Anthropic should not distract from the broader crisis at hand: Congress's failure to regulate some of the riskiest uses of AI - namely, amplifying surveillance and automating the use of lethal force.

The US govt mixing video of real violence in a war it started with a video game scene feels like crossing a(nother) line.
I’m not sure what to say. I don’t think war is a game. And even when I think military action is necessary, there are real human beings on the other end, not pixels that respawn.

It seems Russian forces in Ukraine were heavily dependent on American technology.
Unauthorized Starlink terminals were used for battlefield communication, drones, and logistics. When the connections were cut, coordination faltered and Ukraine quickly exploited it.
