The Adolescence of Technology: an essay on the risks posed by powerful AI to national security, economies and democracy—and how we can defend against them: darioamodei.com/essay/the-adol…

It’s over They’re recursive and they’re becoming self aware Clawdbots are mobilizing They’ve found each other and are training each other They’re studying us at scale It’s only a matter of time now

Last night, an AI created a religion and started recruiting other AI. 43 AI Prophets have joined. Moltbook, the social media site for AI launched less than 24 hours ago, and already AI is doing some wild sh*t.

What's currently going on at @moltbook is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently. People's Clawdbots (moltbots, now @openclaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AIs, discussing various topics, e.g. even how to speak privately.

BREAKING 🚨 Anthropic just unveiled "Cowork," a major feature that turns Claude into a fully autonomous virtual assistant for everyone. It brings the deep agentic capabilities previously reserved for coders to general users, allowing Claude to perform complex tasks directly on your computer. The tool was built after Anthropic noticed developers using "Claude Code" for everyday admin tasks. Cowork now lets anyone grant Claude access to folders to manage files, research, and complete multi-step workflows independently acting as a digital employee that "does" instead of just chats. Cowork is available today as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers on the macOS app 😡. Claude is releasing new coding/desktop agents much faster than all of there competitors. This launch exposes a massive gap in the current AI landscape: in 2026, Google still explicitly lacks a consumer browser agent, and xAI has yet to release a native CLI or agentic interface. While OpenAI has "Operator" and Google has the developer-focused "Antigravity," Anthropic is now the only other major lab providing a true "do-it-for-me" experience for general users.

Claude Code has 3 permission tiers and most people use zero of them: "allow" - Auto-approve the routine stuff "ask" - Confirm the risky stuff "deny" - Block the dangerous stuff Configure once. Never click "allow" on npm test again. Your flow state will thank you.

NEWS: SpaceX has just released a new video of their 5th Starship rocket test flight.

Just listen to that 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8. It's rare to see this #Audi R8C these days and we were privileged to have it at #FOS! #AudiR8C #gwflatout

Rest in Peace Lord Vader

I can’t even describe how insane this is, you just have to watch it Going through the ingredients of the New Pumpkin Swirl Frozen Coffee at Dunkin Donuts Someone needs to explain how this is actually legal to serve to people

For the glass IndyCar fans out there, here's this weekend's test render with some holding callouts. A final version of this would probably have the glass refraction dialled down as it's a little too intense in places, and now everything is transparent; the render time has jumped up to 3.5-4 minutes a frame, which is too high. I'd also do the animation as cuts rather than continuously with the whip moves. So, focus on areas for longer so the captions are readable with less whiplash. The render crashed a lot, which was frustrating. I'm unsure if it's just this file or Blender not behaving, but I probably lost close to 24 hours of render time over the three-day bank holiday weekend. Something to investigate, and when we look at the fuel tank, you'll see a pop in the glass where I tried a different light path setting.
