We want to get to know you, not an AI-generated version of you. We value authenticity and integrity when we consider each person’s unique skills and contributions. Lead with your own voice — AI can help clarify, edit, and organize your thinking, but always maintain your own point of view. We want to hear from you, not your favorite LLM.

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop — That Privacy Guy!
I did not install any Anthropic browser extension. I have never installed a Claude browser extension due to privacy and security concerns. I did install Claude Desktop, the Mac app, a while back. That is the only thing on this machine which could have written the file. Claude Desktop reached into Brave, a browser from a completely separate vendor, and registered a back door for a browser extension I do not have.

The Tortuous Triumph of Progressive Education | I Love You but You’re Going to Hell
Yes, the Koch’s own kids get to go to schools with fabulously progressive pedagogy. But Koch money pushes a very different sort of classroom elsewhere. In Tennessee, for example, Koch funding promoted charter schools for low-income families. At some of those schools, most famously the KIPP network, students are rigidly controlled. KIPP’s “no excuses” model and “SLANT” rules (Sit up, Listen, Ask and Answer questions, Nod and Track the teacher) can feel oppressive.

Anthropic’s most dangerous AI model just fell into the wrong hands | The Verge
The group accessed Mythos by using knowledge of Anthropic’s other model formats obtained from a recent Mercor data breach to make “an educated guess” about its online location.

“Cradle” 10×13 print combo of embossing and linoprint. This one broke my brain but I learned so much! I used one lino block as a mold for the emboss and a second for the print. : r/printmaking

Text-to-speech generation (TTS) | Gemini API | Google AI for Developers
Out of the box, the model will natively interpret a transcript and determine how your words should be delivered. Simple transcripts without any additional prompting sound natural. But Gemini TTS also comes with tools you can use to steer it. The purpose of this guide is to offer fundamental direction and spark ideas when developing audio experiences. We’ll start with Tags for quick inline control, and then explore advanced Prompting structures for full performance direction.

The Future of Everything is Lies, I Guess: New Jobs
I think we will see some people employed (though perhaps not explicitly) as meat shields: people who are accountable for ML systems under their supervision. The accountability may be purely internal, as when Meta hires human beings to review the decisions of automated moderation systems. It may be external, as when lawyers are penalized for submitting LLM lies to the court. It may involve formalized responsibility, like a Data Protection Officer. It may be convenient for a company to have third-party subcontractors, like Buscaglia, who can be thrown under the bus when the system as a whole misbehaves. Perhaps drivers whose mostly-automated cars crash will be held responsible in the same way—Madeline Clare Elish calls this concept a moral crumple zone.
