I'm incredibly sad to hear of Marc Garneau's passing. More than an astronaut and politician, he was a pioneer and the pride of Canada. Thinking of his loved ones tonight.

Fascinating. Anthropic describing their latest system as a "concerning improvement". Shows a new angle in the AI race - they who have the most advanced system also have an obligation to identify safety and security measures. Anthropic response to OSTP here:

So long as there aren't models that perform differently for different price points. Uh, that's already happening. Just think how students with IEPs and limited modalities available to learn could thrive with AI. Let's make sure they aren't getting inferior tech than those that can pay.
