New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models.
Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with.
We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.
I think it's fair to say at this point that Anthropic is not a trustworthy company.
I have verified this myself in 2.1.91 as well as current 2.1.197. Sneaky steganographic embeds in a ships-to-customers product is a line best not crossed.
The fact that Europeans built hospitals without AC is truly mystifying to me. We can argue about whether it's good/necessary in homes, I suppose, but the people in hospitals are the most likely to die of heat stroke!
In the main hospital in Freiburg temperatures are reaching 38°/100.4°. Patients are lying in their beds naked, bathed in sweat. The hospital has convened an emergency task force for the first time in its history. Because it's located in an old building, the emergency room is not air-conditioned. Even the new buildings aren't completely air-conditioned.
One doctor complained that the problem has been evident at least since the 2003 heat wave, but nothing is ever done: "How can it be we're surprised every summer?"

European elites have built a reflexive habit of morally downgrading any form of American abundance (big houses, cars, AC, rich suburbs, high salaries), calling everything vulgar, materialistic, soulless, fake, etc.
They’re so convinced they have a monopoly on taste and lifestyle that they’ve turned getting poorer into a civilizational virtue. Even Mississippi, the poorest US state, is now basically at Germany-level GDP per capita...
I’d advise young Europeans to break out of this inherited narrative by spending at least one extended vacation in a random US town (not NYC/Miami/LA).
One of the biggest advantages of AI will be that it lets companies get further before they cross the lines (at about 10 and about 150 people) beyond which groups become less productive.
📚 If you’re a student choosing what to focus on, pick MATH. It will teach you to relentlessly rely on your own brain, think logically, break down problems, and solve them step by step in the right order. That’s the core skill you’ll need to build companies and manage projects.
This is a very real thing!
When I moved to Spain, I thought I loved it based on just a few visits. After a year of living there, I realized I hated it.
This could be the same with Singapore and Dubai. I wouldn't know yet - that's why I'm doing it differently this time.
My base is Switzerland. A place I've lived for +6 years and I know I love.
Then 3-4 months/year in Singapore/Dubai. Trying it out, slowly building a more permanent establishment, but plenty of time to back out if I realize I end up disliking these places too.
Spontaneous relocation can be risky, I learned it the hard way.
Schwarz Group is another monster example.
Lidl, Kaufland, PreZero, Schwarz Digits, production, recycling, cloud, retail logistics.
€175bn+ revenue and ~595,000 employees.
Not flashy, but structurally powerful: food distribution, supply chains, data, recycling and digital infrastructure under one private European group.
