Anthropic needs certification department for powerful model users
By
–
I think Anthropic needs to build a certification department that audits and approves users of powerful models. Computer security companies, biotech researchers, academic labs, doctors, government institutions need access to the best AI we can build.

First fast read: key point – absent method, ASI must not proceed
By
–
Good paper on a first fast read. I have misc quibbles, eg "setting aside" the chance that N can't align N+1; the more a fair solution is hard, the more likely a fake solution gets found instead. The main point not spelled out is, "Absent a method, ASI must not proceed."

AI justification warning: post hoc reasoning not reliable

Here is the justification (but treat post hoc justifications with suspicion, since AIs are not able to reflect on their own thinking)

Frontier AI models fail to change ‘three words’ to ‘four’ when appropriate
By
–
This is an interesting test, and the frontier models (GPT-5.5 Pro Extended, Claude 5 Fable Max) do fail. They refuse to turn the "three words" into "four" if that fits better Prompting the AI to act like a translator surfaces the problem, but it still avoids changing the wording

Anthropic accused of gatekeeping over Claude usage by developers
By
–
Anthropic can use the internet, copyrighted books, code, user feedback, public human knowledge, synthetic data, and its own models to improve Claude But if a developer uses Claude to bootstrap a competitive open alternative, Anthropic calls foul That is called Gatekeeping
