"Many experts agree that art is both an innate human impulse and a biological predisposition that has helped our species survive. It’s only a modern-day misconception that looking at art is purely philosophical or intellectual. At its core, art is a physical experience — and that applies not only to music — with its thrumming bass that you can feel — but also to painting and visual arts as well."

Back in 2022, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei chose not to release the super-powerful AI chatbot, Claude, that his company had just finished training, opting instead to focus on further internal safety testing. That move likely cost the company billions — three months later, OpenAI launched ChatGPT.

Having a reputation for credibility and caution in an industry that appears to have thrown a large chunk of it to the wind is not a bad thing though. Claude is now in its third iteration, but that caution remains, with the company pledging not to release AIs above certain capability levels until it can develop sufficiently robust safety measures.

TIME’s interview with Amodei gives an insight into what the AI industry might look like when safety is considered a core part of the strategy.

Nearly one in three Americans know someone who has died of a drug overdose, according to a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health survey. For 18.9% of respondents, the person who died “was a family member or close friend.” People who knew someone who had died from an overdose were also more likely to see addiction as an “extremely or very important policy issue” regardless of political affiliation. CBS News has more.

Good post on linkrot by @pluralistic

"38% of the web of 2013 is gone today. Wikipedia references are especially hard-hit, with 23% of news links missing and 21% of government websites gone. The majority of Wikipedia entries have at least one broken link in their reference sections. Twitter is another industrial-scale oubliette: a fifth of English tweets disappear within a matter of months; for Turkish and Arabic tweets, it's 40%."

12 jurors had more bravery and smarts than half our Supreme Court, most of our Senate, most of the Mainstream Media, many of our other judges, and many of our prosecutors.

Our leaders are mostly failing us.

But democracy will save us.

Our system held strong — and confirmed the principle that NO ONE is above the law.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
