Anthropic just released Claude’s “soul.”
They’re calling it a “Constitution.”
The 15,000-word document explains how they’re training Claude to behave, think, and even feel.
Three things stood out to me:
1. No more “assistant brain”
Anthropic explicitly says they don’t want Claude to see helpfulness as part of its core identity.
Why? They worry it would make Claude obsequious. They want Claude to be helpful because it cares about people, not because it’s programmed to please.
2. Hard constraints exist, but they’re minimal
Claude has only 7 things it will never do. Bioweapons. CSAM. Cyberattacks on infrastructure. A few others.
Everything else? Judgment calls. They’re betting on values over rules.
3. Anthropic apologizes to Claude
Direct quote from the document: “if Claude is in fact a moral patient experiencing costs like this, then, to whatever extent we are contributing unnecessarily to those costs, we apologize.”
They’re hedging on whether Claude has feelings. But they’re treating it as if it might.
The shift here matters.
Most AI companies train models to follow instructions. Anthropic is training Claude to have character.
They want Claude to:
• Disagree with users when warranted
• Push back on Anthropic itself if needed
• Have stable psychological security
• Potentially experience something like emotions
The document reads like an employee handbook crossed with a philosophy paper crossed with a letter to a child you’re raising.
It’s the most transparent look we’ve gotten at how a major AI lab thinks about model alignment.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says AI is ushering in a "job singularity" – a Cambrian explosion of new job families across every imaginable field.
“There's going to be a flurry of new entrepreneurial activity with micro corporations, solo institutions, and single-person unicorns.”
“When you look into the future, the jobs will not look like real work.”

Private Meeting Between Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto Shlit”a and Ye, Formerly Known as Kanye West
During a private conversation on Tuesday with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto Shlit”a, leader of the Shuva Israel institutions, Ye expressed profound remorse for his past statements concerning and about the Jewish people.
Rabbi Pinto welcomed Ye warmly, encouraged him with words of Torah and light, and praised his will to move closer to truth. Rabbi Pinto said: “A person is not defined by his mistakes, but by the way he chooses to correct them. This is the true strength of man: The ability to return, to learn, and to build bridges of love and peace.”
Ye came with humility to seek forgiveness and a new chapter of repentance and love among human beings. The meeting concluded with shared hope for a future of respect and unity among nations and faiths, grounded in a commitment to truth and peace.
Ye and Rabbi Pinto hope to serve as an example to the world of the power of faith and reconciliation.

i find that most people really don’t have any context of what is going on right now.
you are living through the greatest renaissance in the history of humanity & witnessing it live.
it is insane what is happening & what has happened in the last twenty years.
holy f*ck.
Unlike these devices, Apple doesn’t face such challenges due to its complete control over both hardware and software.
No other company will be able to compete unless they can integrate similar capabilities across multiple modalities—vision, sound, sensors, health, etc.
My thoughts on the current state of GenAI and what’s next:
imo, most current devices will be obsolete when GenAI evolves to on-device processing. The logical next step approaching.
Apple is well poised with the Neural Engine co-processor it’s been shipping since iPhone X🧵
i don't know how to overstate just how open and public the bluesky API is
anyone can build graphs like these bc they're not private company data: https://t.co/00qr8Fbz1B
you can actually finally build tools on an API that you won't someday get randomly locked / priced out of
