What We Lose When We Learn a Machine Made It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A week of astonishing things made with Claude Opus 5.5, and what goes missing when you turn round to see who made them.In November 1878 James McNeill Whistler was in a London court, suing John Ruskin for libel. The year before, Ruskin, the most influential art critic in Victorian Britain, had looked at Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket, a dark canvas of fireworks falling through the night, and written that he had never expected “to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas f

The View from the HillFirst lightAt first light the drone lifts from its cradle behind the lemon trees and goes out over the city as it does every morning, low across the hedges and then high into air still cold from the Pacific, air that has come eight thousand kilometres over water and touched nothing on the way, until the whole place lies under it: the forty-odd hills, each with its own weather, fog packed into the throat of the Gate with the bridge standing up out of it to the knees, the woo
AI will reshape employment over the next decade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My judgement is that, by 2031, AI will change how digital and professional work is staffed. Smaller teams will direct systems that complete substantial parts of an assignment, including analysis, production and checking. The pressure will reach experienced staff as well as beginners. Through 2036, these changes will spread across more organisations and countries, reshaping pay, promotion and the routes through which people acquire expertise.The disruption will widen. Tasks that once justified an
What Would It Take for a Machine to Be Badly Off? (opens the original)

The researchers built a ladder of buttons, and each rung cost more.In a preprint released this month, the researchers found a pattern of internal activity that shows up when a language model is processing pain, and worked out how to switch it on artificially. With it switched on, three models of increasing size were made to choose between two buttons, again and again, across roughly 44,000 trials. On the lowest rung, the button that switched the pattern off cost nothing. Higher up, pressing it m
The Accent Has Changed. The Arrangement Hasn’t. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I grew up in Britain from the 1970s, watching the BBC and learning, without anyone teaching me, which voices were there to be listened to and which were there to be laughed at. The first kind had the accent we were all meant to admire and hear as intelligence. The second kind was Irish, or just ‘foreign’ with a strong accent, and its job in the programme was to be funny by existing. My father was an immigrant. My mother came from a poor Irish background. I worked out fairly early which category
