Here’s what I’ve been working on recently: @anthropicai. I’ll be spending a lot of my time on measurement and assessment of our AI systems, as well as thinking of ways govs/others can assess AI tech. There’s a lot to do!

Hiked in a cool redwood valley on a scorching day, the sun so bright it made parts of the canopy shimmer luminous. I walked with my head craned back and mouth agog marveling at the beauty, accompanied by the whispering sussuration of a million leaves. #VOTENATURE2026

the anthropic co-founder jack clark advice that stuck with me:
read the primary material. not the summary. not what the ai said about it. the actual thing.
form your own opinion first. then ask the model. never the other way around.
keep practices in your life where it’s just you against the world ~ a sport, an instrument, reading, building something with your hands. spaces where the algorithm can’t mediate what you learn about yourself.
and don’t defer to AI even when it’s usually right. especially then, actually. that’s precisely when the habit forms.
the people who won’t get eaten by this moment are the ones who stayed hard to replace. not because they avoided the tools but because they kept the parts of thinking that make the tools worth using.

Niche tweet: If you have an excitable toddler, get sick of listening to Bluey and Raffi, and need the occasional bit of non-brainslop kid TV to let you do basic tasks like unload the dishwasher, you might like this fan-made video for the Geese song Cobra. youtube.com/watch?v=R6UcL3Hf…

We’re expanding Project Glasswing. We’ve extended access to Claude Mythos Preview to approximately 150 additional organizations, based in more than fifteen countries.

Anthropic now has a team dedicated to AI and the rule of law — and we've just opened our first role.
@AnthropicAI has studied what AI means for the economy. This team asks a different question: what will it mean for executive power, for courts and elections — and for the public deliberation that constitutional democracy ultimately rests on?
We're looking for someone with real depth in both AI and the law — a legal scholar, political scientist, or experienced government hand who can reason about frontier systems and the institutions they will affect.
If that's you, or someone you know: job-boards.greenhouse.io/ant…

It's sunday, so getting a little loose with Import AI. Wrote up a fun recent paper from @akorinek about measuring AI in the economy, will be covered tomorrow in issue 459.

Wrote a fictional story for the next issue of Import AI that is pretty different to my previous ones. I think there are beautiful things ahead for humanity as AI gets more powerful and I've tried to capture some of that here. Issue should come out on Tuesday.

Many people act like AI policy is some mystery where the right solution demands some kind of Policy Einstein who invents general relativity for tech regulation. This isn't true at all! There are many sensible ideas we could do today. All we need to do is choose to do them.

Awesome shoutout for my @law_ai_ colleagues @CharlieBull0ck and @Christophkw's work on Radical Optionality from @jackclarkSF.

The best part is the majority of these ideas also have the property of continually generating information and building state capacity around advanced technology, so they start "paying out" to society in the form of more well-informed governance almost immediately.

Gotta hand it to him - Juergen Schmidhuber had some amazing papers in the 2010s - early stuff on handwriting recognition (arxiv.org/abs/1003.0358), computer vision (arxiv.org/abs/1102.0183), suggesting intelligence be benchmarked via video games (arxiv.org/abs/1109.1314), etc.

Reading these papers is also just very, very fun. You can feel the creativity jumping off the page. I came into AI right when this period was ending and I'm a little sad I missed it - the OGs really did see most of the neural future in the 2010s.

It's no surprise that a ton of DeepMind OGs came via studying under Schmidhuber

Very nice post pushing back on my "RSI 60% by EOY 2028" claim. I particularly like how @sudoraohacker surfaces some hard benchmarks that give him a more bearish view on RSI (though he still thinks possible in ~10 years).

Will We See AI with Recursive Self Improvement in 2028? Likely Not., by @raohackr

I've spent the past few weeks reading 100s of public data sources about AI development. I now believe that recursive self-improvement has a 60% chance of happening by the end of 2028. In other words, AI systems might soon be capable of building themselves.

There's also MLE-Bench, which is ecologically valid (tasks come from real kaggle competitions) and involves building a very diverse set of ML apps to solve specific problems. The same progress shows up here.

My whole experience doing this project was finding endless "up and to the right" graphs at all resolutions of AI R&D, from the well known (e.g., SWE-Bench) to more niche (like those above). It's a fractal, but at all the resolutions you see the same trend of meaningful progress.
