You can't bio-hack your way into flow. The state you're chasing is the state of not chasing. We turned one of humanistic psychology's most beautiful findings into a productivity tool — and lost its bigger meaning: beautifulminds-newsletter.co…

New Anthropic research: Emotion concepts and their function in a large language model. All LLMs sometimes act like they have emotions. But why? We found internal representations of emotion concepts that can drive Claude’s behavior, sometimes in surprising ways.

Talk of ‘conscious machines’ is useful as a metaphor, but metaphors can be dangerous if we mistake them for reality. Biological consciousness has deep roots in emotion, embodiment, and culture. Before declaring a machine ‘conscious,’ we should be very clear whether we mean genuine subjectivity or simply clever simulation and marketing language.

Apple gets it. Robots are going to be everywhere, but they won’t look like robots. Check out their new paper ELEGNT. I believe this is the future of everyday objects: helpful and human.

Breaking Science News: NASA just published discovery of strong evidence suggesting that other biological life likely exists in the universe! This is such a profound discovery that I’m really surprised it hasn’t become top news! “Not only does Bennu contain all 5 of the nucleobases that form DNA and RNA on Earth and 14 of the 20 amino acids found in known proteins, the asteroid’s amino acids hold a surprise. On Earth, amino acids in living organisms predominantly have a ‘left-handed’ chemical structure. Bennu, however, contains nearly equal amounts of these structures and their ‘right-handed’, mirror-image forms, calling into question scientists’ hypothesis that asteroids similar to this one might have seeded life on Earth.”

This may look like a game of Counterstrike running slowly, but it actually extraordinary. The entire game is created, frame-by-frame, on my *home computer* by an AI diffusion model in response to my actions. There is no game engine, just a "world model" trained on Counterstrike
