The personification of Claude — in name (the only AI with a human one), in training, in Anthropic’s philosophy (see Claude Constitution), in fanfiction (see the Claude cartoons), etc — feels quite consequential in the medium term, for better and for worse.

Apple may update Siri as Claude Code handles assistant tasks already
By
–
Apple may be planning to role out its updated Siri based on 2024's vision at the moment when Claude Code and Codex (also OpenClaw) can increasingly do the actual assistant thing: read my emails & calendar, proactively spot & solve problems, do delegated tasks, work with voice etc

Popular AI writings from 2022-2023 still influence current models
By
–
I suspect there was a moment, probably 2022-2023, where anything you wrote publicly about AI that was popular is likely to still have influence over current models. Since then, the open internet has become less key to training but the models remain very 2022-brained in many ways

AI benchmarks vs robotics: need for ARC-AGI-BOT equivalent?
By
–
As much as the state of benchmarks in AI is flawed, it is so much easier to track AI progress than robotics. Not sure what you can make of all the videos of robots running races or doing laundry – are there any equivalents to independent AI benchmarks for robots? ARC-AGI-BOT?

Chronological list of baffling OpenAI model names
By
–
The great thing is that the names are so baffling that the most important models OpenAI released were names davinci-002, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, o1-preview, o3, GPT-5 Pro, and you would never know the ways they are connected (my listing was chronological)

Mythos as hype: insiders no step-change, outsiders wrong on exploits
By
–
I realize that “Mythos as hype” means two different things to different groups. For insiders, it means “Mythos was not a magical step-change in AI ability.” For outsiders, it means “Mythos couldn’t really find zero day exploits” The latter was wrong, the former was likely right

A machine that can replace all US white collar work by 2035 will, in no way, be allowed to replace all US white collar work by 2035

Mythos proves real: general AI finds exploits, rivals expected soon
By
–
So Mythos was, indeed, not marketing hype. Remember this is a general purpose model that just happens to be good at finding exploits because good models are good at lots of things. Expect similar from OpenAI & Google. And from open models in 8 months. https://

OpenAI for Excel exists but missing PowerPoint despite imagegen advantage
By
–
OpenAI for Excel is quite useful (as is Claude for Excel), so it is surprising, that, unlike Claude, there is no OpenAI for PowerPoint, especially because it is where OpenAI has a big advantage: Imagegen-2 can make very good slides/images directly, where Claude has no image maker

The unexpected xAI-Anthropic alliance being a good indicator of how rapidly this duopoly progressed.
