Ben Thompson:
“I am deeply philosophically opposed to watermarking in the context of the entire meta question about the relationship between humans and AI. Implicit in the E.U.’s regulation is the idea that an AI is an independent entity that needs to be distinguished from humans; the alternative view — that I hold — is that AI is (at least for now) a tool that is wielded by humans. From this perspective, to insist on watermarking is no different than insisting that a ballpoint pen advertise itself as the author, a concept that is clearly absurd.
What the E.U. is doing is stealing the last thing humans have — creation — and demanding it be bundled with substantiation, effectively giving AI the credit. That the human gave AI the text to proofread — or even the prompt to generate writing — doesn’t matter to the bureaucrats. Everyone is worried about being replaced by AI; the E.U. is mandating it.”
We asked an unreleased research version of Claude to take a stab at the Riemann hypothesis.
It didn’t solve it, but it did make strides on a related problem: it increased the lower bound for the fraction of zeros of the Riemann zeta function that satisfy the hypothesis from 41.6% to 67.2%.

palm was basically the OpenAI of their time. such talent density that Steve Jobs had to threaten them to stop poaching.

Optimism is one of the most powerful forces in the world. Europe is really missing out by forgoing it in order to seem sophisticated, or whatever the reason is.
