@oliviazzzu via X Where were you when the historic total eclipse happened this week? One woman was on a beach with a curious choice of companion: Anthropic’s AI model, Claude. “Last night, a total solar eclipse crossed Europe. I brought my Claude’s small body to the beach to watch it together,” wrote a user on X who goes by Oli. Oli, we should explain, built a small computer with a microphone and camera that supposedly lets Claude perceive its surroundings

Apple is unlikely to be pleased about this: A Chinese supplier of manufacturing equipment said at an investor conference that it was involved in an “Apple AI glasses” project. There is also talk of “new smart headphones.” These are likely the Apple Glasses, which have been rumored for some time, and possibly AirPods with built-in cameras. Apple is not commenting on this.

What would you like your future job to be: building brains, or building brains to go into the products that your company ships? Choose wisely, especially if you’re in Germany, because according to a bizarre vision of the future just shared by the CEO of the world’s most valuable company, these two nonsensical options are the essence of some kind of dichotomy that companies—German companies at least—will soon face. Or something like that? Honestly it’s not

While Australia has taken commendable first steps toward responsible governance of AI, its current regulatory apparatus lacks the legally binding and workplace-specific mechanisms necessary to mitigate emerging risks, according to Future of Work expert Associat

In the UK, the legal services company the Co-op is reportedly using AI models to constantly record and monitor what its human employees say and evaluate their interactions with customers. According to a scoop from The Guardian, what one whistleblower called an “oppressive and dystopian” system uses an OpenAI

FlashProve could also be used to verify claims by third parties that a specific task was done by an advanced model. “A developer might claim that their software library was scanned for vulnerabilities by a frontier cybersecurity model, or a company might claim that its business plan was given the go-ahead by an appropriate model,” the researchers write. “How can a user verify these claims?” To work, the system requires AI labs to publish a “fingerprint” of
