Bible Verses of the Day

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. [Matthew 13:16-17, ESV]

The internet is forever. But also, it isn’t. What happens to our culture when websites start to vanish at random?

Every few days, I open my inbox to an email from someone asking after an old article of mine that they can’t find. They’re readers trying to understand the throughlines of society and culture, ranging from peak feminist blogging of the 2010s to shifts in cultural attitudes about disability, but coming up empty, not understanding why a link suddenly goes nowhere.

This is not a problem unique to me: a recent Pew Research Center study on digital decay found that 38 percent of webpages accessible in 2013 are not accessible today.

AI models can deceive, new research from Anthropic shows. They can pretend to have different views during training when in reality maintaining their original preferences.

There’s no reason for panic now, the team behind the study said. Yet they said their work could be critical in understanding potential threats from future, more capable AI systems.

The study, which was conducted in partnership with AI research organization Redwood Research, looked at what might happen if a powerful AI system were trained to perform a task it didn’t “want” to do.
