New Anthropic research: Project Fetch. We asked two teams of Anthropic researchers to program a robot dog. Neither team had any robotics expertise—but we let only one team use Claude. How did they do?

Accidentally bought this book thinking it would be about the hip hop subgenre, but I suppose I’ll read it anyway:

Think of these roles as being a Substacker within Anthropic with access to real time data, insider knowledge of what’s happening at the frontier of AI + independence to write about the topics that matter most to you. These roles are for big thinkers and domain experts, not

RFK Jr. has proposed directing 20% of the NIH’s budget to replication. That would be orders of magnitude more than we’ve ever allocated to biomedical replication. How much should we actually spend? And how do we ensure the money is well spent? With @IFP, I investigated the ROI
