What Is Claude? Anthropic Doesn’t Know, Either Researchers at the company are trying to understand their A.I. system’s mind—examining its neurons, running it through psychology experiments, and putting it on the therapy couch.

This article is amazing. Sorry its behind a paywall. I keep thinking about it and just finished a conversation with Claude about it. One paragraph in particular I sent to Claude; their response was just what I needed. #ai #anthropic #nyer

Collage of close-up willow branches at different stages of spring growth: tight reddish buds and soft silver catkins against a blurred green background, frost-dusted buds along a twig, and fully opened golden, pollen-rich catkins glowing in warm light.

A legend tells that when a mother cat’s cries rose by the river, the willow bent low and trailed its branches through the water, saving her drowning kittens. Where their small paws brushed the boughs, soft catkins grew, a gentle reminder of love and compassion. #FolkloreSunday

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

Burial entry for Agatha Mary Clarissa Mallowan (Agatha Christie).

50 years ago today, Agatha Mallowan, better known as Agatha Christie, was buried in the graveyard at St Mary's, Cholsey. The register recording the burial is now held by us. This autumn we will be holding an exhibition celebrating this renowned author and local resident.

Girl with Hyacinths (1950) A young woman dies by suicide and leaves all her belongings to her next-door neighbour, who becomes determined to investigate her reasons for taking her life.

I’ve always thought you have to watch a lot of films, many no so good, many mediocre. Then that film comes along that knocks your socks off. That happened to me today. Available on Criterion, right now. I will watch this again. #filmsky #moviesky

Two slices of French toast cooked sitting on a paper plate next to a fork covered in 100% NYS maple syrup

Pardon the paper plate. We just moved. First French toast in the new apartment. Heidelberg bread, Penzeys cinnamon, eggs for my friend Barb’s farm, and maple syrup from Tully New York. Perfect start to the new year.

It’s a good morning for French toast.

Brilliant idea. I’m going to do the same. So much more hopeful than a list of resolutions.

Those look so good.

They were gay together. 😆

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.
