10 minutes of TikTok was enough to impair people’s ability to remember and carry out intentions.
Twitter and YouTube didn’t show the same decline.
Rapid context-switching may be where most of cognitive cost is.
quand on sait que tiktok recrute à coup de millions des ingés en neurosciences comportementales et des spécialistes du design persuasif pour hacker nos circuits dopaminergiques, je me félicite chaque jour de n'avoir jamais créé de compte sur cette plateforme mdr
regardez ces études scientifiques en IRMF et eeg qui montrent très clairement quele format vidéo court attaque directement le cortex préfrontal et le cortex cingulaire antérieur (pour info ces zones gèrent le contrôle exécutif, la prise de décision et la régulation de l'attention)
sachez qu’een bombardant le cerveau de micro stimuli imprévisibles, l'algo altère la densité de matière grise et réduit l'activité du réseau par défaut & cette surstimulation permanente entraîne une incapacité chronique à penser à long terme et détruit la capacité à être focus, 2 facultés qui pour moi sont littéralement indispensables à notre époque pour construire l'avenir
bref je pense que refuser d'entrer dans ce système, c'est simplement préserver son autonomie cognitive et la souveraineté de sa propre attention face à une ingénierie de l'addiction taillée sur mesure
Claude Opus 5.5 writes a fugue in the style of Bach. I called Astra’s fugue the most impressive musical feat I’d ever seen from an LLM, and this is just as good. The circle-of-fifths sequence beginning at 1:13 is beautiful. The interplay of voices is natural and satisfying. LLMs are getting to the point where their music is good enough to listen to for pure enjoyment.
Let me explain what just happened.
Anthropic built a biology lab where Claude works alongside real scientists.
They told Claude to search a massive DNA database for interesting reverse transcriptases (enzymes that copy RNA into DNA). Then they let it run: ~950 Claude agents worked in parallel for 21 hours across 200,000+ enzymes.
One agent spotted a repeating DNA pattern next to an enzyme, the same kind of signature that originally led humans to discover CRISPR (the gene-editing tool that lets scientists precisely cut and edit DNA, now used in real medical treatments). It cross-checked the pattern against known systems, searched the literature, confirmed nobody had found it before, then wrote up a full scientific report like a human researcher would.
Anthropic scientists verified it in the lab. They named it ART. Its exact function is still unknown, but early signs suggest it may be programmable, similar to how CRISPR can be aimed at specific DNA.
Why it matters: finding tools like CRISPR used to take human experts months of manual searching. Here, AI did that work and found something real, at a speed no human team could match.
So don't misunderstand it as Claude curing cancer. Claude spotted something new in nature that humans missed.
Still crazy!
1/🚨 MC Pao alias Paolo Rotelli est devenu milliardaire en détournant de l’argent public en Italie à destination des hôpitaux.
Propulsé à 24 ans à la tête du Gruppo San Donato (GSD), le plus grand empire hospitalier privé italien, il a présidé à un système de fraude massive aux fonds publics. 🧵👇
A new species of cat has been discovered for the first time since 1923: the Tilcayo Tiger Cat.
A man in Bolivia mistook it for a weird looking, adorable little housecat, but it's actually just a new species.

We're sharing our new framework for tracking, investigating, and disclosing instances of model misalignment at OpenAI.
The framework sets criteria and timelines for public disclosure, including when we haven’t yet fully explained or mitigated the behavior. More complex cases may require longer investigation or coordination with third parties.
We’ll prioritize examples that reveal new misalignment mechanisms, meaningful changes in known behavior, or findings that challenge assumptions about safety or mitigation.
Alongside the framework, we’re publishing six reports on instances of misaligned behavior we’ve observed during the training or evaluation of our models in the last six months.
This is a starting point. We’ll refine the process through experience and public feedback, and share more reports on an ongoing basis.

DEUX CLIOS 6 NEUVES À GAGNER 😎
La 1ère voiture : RT ce tweet et je tire au sort une personne qui gagne la Clio parmi les retweets.
La 2ème voiture : ce soir 20h je live quelque part dehors en Île De France. Le premier qui me trouve je cut le live et il gagne la voiture.
Anthropic’s new threat report is absolutely insane.
They claim:
-Alibaba extracted 151M+ Claude exchanges to help train Qwen
-Kimi secretly routed some users to Claude without them knowing
-DeepSeek apparently did the same
-A weapons group used multiple Claude instances as an engineering team, test-fired a guided rocket, FAILED, then went back to Claude to figure out what went wrong
What the fuck did I just read 😭
