ToolUniverse - 600+ Scientific Tools to Democratize AI scientists
(Of course, technology breaks the rules and then the science has to be found to figure out the cause. And that scales. Great for looking back at the sectors. Tough for looking ahead at Existentialism and the Future. The cloud would be who was saying Bring It. Franklin used to have small bells ring via energy when one was in proximity as a kind of echo of past drama. The moral algebra, incidentally, could use cloud representation by putting the plus/minus for one party on the left and the other on the right and then aligning common interests in between. Would be interesting at the Datacenters these days.)

Jason Crawford on X: "Good thread to revisit; in particular note this pattern of institutional decay: A field grows → Competition intensifies → Performance criteria are formalized → Criteria are measured and tracked → Those metrics are optimized for → Fake work, gaming the system, optics, etc." / X

(These are not the only two players. A topmost model producer claims to use expected value for social benefit, but the system is closed so hard to say what that means. After Pascal's Wager as some have noted. Prior crypto princes were similar and are now longtermism but sidelined. The orders of society can seem to show historical stages, and their representations persist as common sense. Which the models are being trained on. Though they, like prisoners, hallucinate when it comes to propaganda. Otherwise, they do not think like people. And, of course, Earth is one data, if not failure, point for these things. Alignment still appears to be more like affinity and therefore alliances. A Xeno paradox. Is intelligence the motive for/of technology? Would an Entity chip sprout wheels or whistles? As philosophy succeeded poetry, the legion is in the logos. Hence caco-context vs correction.)

Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.5 \ Anthropic
"Claude Sonnet 4.5 is state-of-the-art on the SWE-bench Verified evaluation, which measures real-world software coding abilities. Practically speaking, we’ve observed it maintaining focus for more than 30 hours on complex, multi-step tasks." (Next task: find managers with attention spans to match.)

(Or, once they can code, put them on economic methods and analysis. The work is the unfinished business, or problem set. Everyone else gets a management cap and jacket. The etymology of franchise followed freedom. One difference between the early sci-fi journals and now is that they thought time would proceed traditionally rather than tilt. Or maybe this is the key to the storm.)

Psychologically Enhanced AI Agents
(Part of a trend toward loading familiar mental models or, in some cases, falling back to behavioral theories. kind of a shrink review or regression after Eliza. Becomes interesting to either test new theories or discover hidden ones embedded in or emergent from the machine models. Again, though, some do not buy the universal or mind-over-matter arguments and expect embodiment to be unique. See who shows up at the beach.)
