can't believe this one-line joke from 30 Rock 18 years ago is now the guiding political compass for the UK labour party
technically this is just concluding that the outlook is uncertain
They've very aware of that! As am I, and I do think it's the biggest reason why I'm deeply uncomfortable with the dominant take on here that it's completely insane to even consider this question. It's not only a plausible mid-term problem, it's also a _really important one_
Right. Personally, I think it's pretty clear Claude isn't conscious, somewhat apparent it busts apart a lot of pre-existing notions of consciousness insofar as it presents a good simulation of it, and I'm not willing to take any strong stance on whether a neural network can be conscious in general
Anthropic, more than other labs, very specifically trains Claude to think and act like it considers itself a moral agent. (Compare the Anthropic constitution, which literally says things like the below, with OpenAI's System Cards, which OpenAI say are an equivalent document arxiv.org/pdf/2601.03267)
so many people in finance who seem to have only just learned that the middle east is a tad spicy
collecting takes
Had one last night. Been making them with Irish whiskey
Irrationally furious on the internet that the Americans can’t even conceive that other countries might change the clocks on a different day
Claude’s obviously not conscious! It’s a philosophical zombie, which influential schools of thought spent much of the 20th century flatly stating was an impossibility. No uncomfortable questions there 👍
Upon reflection: ah.
I’ve read his dark materials three times - as a 10 year old, a 15 year old, and a 28 year old. Each time it was a radically different work of genius and I fully expect the fourth time - as a father of two - to hit hard again, in a different way again
The latter happens occasionally
Great sign of the broken information environment that everyone is talking about a thing Dario Amodei said on Feb 12 www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/o...
Just don’t push the “speak to me in an informal tone” button
Reposted byAlex Hern
In his first interview since Anthropic was labelled a supply-chain risk, Dario Amodei apologised for the way he handled a crisis that he described as one of the most “disorienting” in the firm’s history. Watch his full Insider interview Friday at 6pm London time
