Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.

What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text.

"We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience."

"We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."

These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours.

And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve.

Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large."

The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

The @DeptofWar is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.

These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves.

This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency.

Given all the hype about the RFK Jr. team up with Trump, and what it means for healthcare, I have some questions.

Many funders of Trump, such as Joe Lonsdale and Elon Musk as well as JD Vance himself, have major investments in biotechnology, gene therapies and companies deeply invested in mRNA and DNA vaccine technology. Trump stands by Operation Warp Speed, which produced mRNA vaccines of dubious efficacy and safety, some of which were made with the help of companies tied to Lonsdale's VC, among others.

Will RFK JR. be opposing the use of these technologies as he seeks to tackle the chronic disease epidemic in the US in a future Trump administration? Will he allow the "health" DARPA, ARPA-H, to continue to operate? Will he allow the Peter Thiel and Joe Lonsdale co-founded Palantir to continue to collect and analyze Americans' health data (and genetic data) with no meaningful oversight into how they use that data and if they share it w other government agencies they contract for like the CIA?

I agree that there is a major healthcare crisis in the US, but identifying the problem is one thing - will these experimental technologies be used or promoted as part of the solution? I think it's important to know and it seems like not many are asking these types of questions.

Everyone from Netanyahu's son, Yair, to Israel's Economy Minister Nir Barkat, to Justice Minister Yariv Levin, has chimed in to defend the right of soldiers to rape Palestinian prisoners. What was intended as a legal charade to demonstrate to the ICC that Israel could hold its soldiers accountable for crimes – in this case, the gang rape of a prisoner at the Sde Teiman concentration camp – has backfired and exposed the psychological sickness emanating from the heart of Jewish Israeli society.

The sadistic torture that has taken place at Sde Teiman and other Israeli dungeons was undeniably fueled by the state-led propaganda hoax accusing Hamas of "systemic sexual violence" on October 7. Legacy Western outlets like the NY Times, BBC, The Guardian, along with the voice of Israel's "enlightened public," Haaretz, legitimized the hoax, and have refused to retract or even correct reports that were comprehensively debunked. Thus, to the common Jewish Israeli, Hamas militants not only violated hundreds of women before butchering them for pleasure, they cruelly emasculated the Israeli male who supposedly conquered the land.

Behind the walls of Sde Teiman, the shadowy goon squad known as Force 100 has been tasked with restoring Zionist machismo by revenge-raping defenseless Palestinian men kidnapped from Gaza. All prisoners are "terrorists" in their minds, therefore anything is permissible. As Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Knesset from the ruling Likud Party stated openly in a parliamentary debate, "If he is a [Hamas] Nukhba member, everything is legitimate to do him!"

The same media outlets that propagated the Hamas "mass rape" hoax are predictably downplaying the documented gang rape of a Palestinian prisoner. Haaretz has referred to the rape in a front page headline as mere "abuse." Currently, there is nothing on the NY Times front page about the incident, while the Washington Post refers cryptically to "detainee abuse" in its coverage, which is buried at the bottom of its website. Prominent liberal Zionists, meanwhile, are pronouncing Israel's "democracy" and its international image as the ultimate victims of the crisis, and not the Palestinians who have endured rape and torture at the hands of the occupation's enforcers.

The war in Gaza suffocated the national protests against Netanyahu's judicial reform plans, seemingly breathing new life into the PM's career. But now, after nine months of blood-letting, the war is setting the stage for an existential civil meltdown if and when Netanyahu agrees to a ceasefire without scoring the "total victory" he's promised. If that day comes, let it be recorded that the turning point was a violent Zionist riot in support of the right to rape Palestinian men.

@frothspuns @ejmalrai At least have of Gaza are children, they never voted for Hamas.. Simple as that

50 years from now people reading history books will be dumbfounded and appalled that calling for a “Free Palestine” was considered a form of hate speech.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Israel has now killed 196 humanitarian aid workers, three times as many as any other conflict in the world this year, including the WCK workers who they just brazenly murdered. That caused many other aid workers to withdraw from Gaza. Mission accomplished!

They have also killed 99 journalists, more than any conflict since tracking began in 1992. If you think, they’re not doing it on purpose - they just happen to be the most incompetent military in the world - you’re either a dupe or purposely lying to help cover up their war crimes.

This is the definition of terrorism. They’re purposely killing people who might help or feed the Palestinians or report on how badly they’re being mistreated. They’re not being subtle about the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Several cabinet ministers have admitted they want to drive out the Palestinians. They’re doing that through a campaign of terror, death and starvation. And we’re funding these atrocities.

This will be a mark of shame, not just on Israel, but America that financed this genocide, Joe Biden who gave them billions in weapons to kill as many Palestinians as they like, and almost all of our legislators. Our so-called representatives are monsters who care so much more about their careers and campaign contributions than they do about innocent lives.

Israel today has nothing to do with biblical Israel. The people who run it have zero line to the biblical Israelites. They are secular Europeans abusing scripture in order to justify their depravity & shield themselves from criticism as they march us towards nuclear holocaust. Wake up.
