Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

@suekhim Amazing! 🤩 Would love to help my 8 year old prep for 3rd grade and not have a summer slide in math / problem solving

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Intelligence as energy 🤔

[Flo Crivello @Altimor]

Insane that we'll end up producing 99% of our energy from space, and send it down as intelligence. Literally no other way to send this much energy back — intelligence ended up being the densest form of energy we discovered.

[Kat ⊷ the Poet Engineer @poetengineer__]

mark weiser in 1996:
- the purpose of a computer is to help you do something else.
- the best computer is a quiet, invisible servant.
- the more you can do by intuition, the smarter you are; the computer should extend your *unconscious*.
- technology should create calm.
