Looks very promising!

Today, I’m launching my newco, NavigateAI. We are short hundreds of thousands of skilled workers and we're on a mission to give every field worker an AI copilot, so they can build faster and better when we need it most. https://t.co/8eOtvosfOn

Things get more interesting by the day

[TFTC @TFTC21]

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.

Your morning decides whether you create or react. — Sascha Rossaint

Most people hand over the first hour of their day to someone else's agenda without even realizing it.

The first 10 minutes of your day are the system prompt for your mind. — Sascha Rossaint

If you jump on your phone the moment you wake up, your mind goes reactive. Your morning attention is the system prompt for your entire day. Choose it deliberately.

Stillness is not the absence of motion. It is the foundation of it. — Sascha Rossaint

I used to treat stillness as something that happened when work stopped. The ability to be still before moving is not a luxury — it is an operational advantage.

Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be. — Viktor Frankl

Frankl wrote this inside a concentration camp. That context matters.

Clarity is not a luxury. It is the prerequisite for everything else. — Sascha Rossaint

When I look at teams that are struggling, the problem is almost never effort. Clarity is the one input that multiplies everything else.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. — Amelia Earhart

Every project I have ever stalled on had a clear decision at the front of it that I had not made.

@elonmusk how is this even legally possible?

[Sascha Rossaint @srossaint]

Someone has to measure the neural overload and burnout risk using all of these AI tools daily. Wasn't there a study?

Amor fati — love your fate. — Nietzsche

Nietzsche did not mean resign yourself to whatever happens. He meant go further — find a way to want it.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. — Marcus Aurelius

The best operating decision I made last year came out of a constraint I had not chosen. Obstacles are not pauses in the work. They are often the work.

@HHShkMohd Wondering if you could run a government on Claude Max at $200/mo ? 😆

[Sascha Rossaint @srossaint]

@HHShkMohd This is groundbreaking!

[Sascha Rossaint @srossaint]

There we go

[HH Sheikh Mohammed @HHShkMohd]

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.

AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.

This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.

We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.

Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution.

The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.
