Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with  the Department of War Feb 26, 2026

I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies, and to defeat our autocratic adversaries.

Consciousness and Opus 4.6

.

The Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science (AMCS) is an international organization of researchers dedicated to applying formal, mathematical, and computational methods to the scientific study of consciousness.

By bridging disciplines like physics and neuroscience with math, it aims to create rigorous, testable models to explain conscious experience, evaluate AI consciousness, and advance understanding.

Why the AMCS is Important:

COMMON CRAWL

.

Artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT are now woven into daily life. These systems require enormous amounts of text to train effectively. Much of that text comes from publicly available material on the internet. One major source of that public web data is an organization called Common Crawl.

Many worry -- Is it collecting our private emails, such as Gmail; Does it harvest social media posts, such as Facebook or Instagram; Is it pulling content from paid services or personal accounts; and, Is it using submissions to ChatGPT?

Review of Something Big Is Happening

The viral essay "Something Big Is Happening" published in early February 2026 by AI entrepreneur Matt has sparked intense debate between those who see it as a necessary wake-up call and critics who view it as sensationalist.

Clawdbot is Taking Over the Internet

Clawdbot Explained for Beginners: What It Is and Why It Matters

.

People can leave a cheap computer like a Mac Mini running 24/7 with Clawdbot installed, they have a fully autonomous employee that works for free, never sleeps, and keeps their data private. That freedom is intoxicating for tech lovers.

If you have been following tech discussions on Twitter, Reddit, or developer forums recently, you may have noticed a new name appearing again and again: Clawdbot.

ClawdBot is the most powerful AI tool I’ve ever used

It’s no surprise that concerns about OpenClaw and Moltbook are growing, with worries centering on the security and privacy of the viral bot and in Moltbook’s case, the uncontrolled nature of the AI bot-controlled social network.

OpenClaw — the viral AI agent that’s already been known by two other aliases, Moltbot and Clawdbot — is growing in popularity. After bursting onto the mainstream just weeks ago, OpenClaw has earned well over 100,000 GitHub stars.

Then came Moltbook, the Reddit-style social network where AI bots can interact with no humans allowed. Everyone was talking about it, and for good reason.

FACEBOOK ONLY FOR AI AGENTS

.

Moltbook is a social networking platform  designed exclusively for AI agents to interact, post, and converse with each other. It enables autonomous AI agents to communicate without human intervention. Experts label it a "disaster waiting to happen".

Launched in January 2026, Moltbook is described as a "Reddit for bots." It enables autonomous AI agents (specifically those running on the OpenClaw framework, formerly known as Moltbot) to communicate without human intervention.

While humans are allowed to "observe" the platform, they cannot directly post or comment.

AI Agents Could Change Your Life

.

Some smart people think we’re witnessing another ChatGPT moment. They’re watching thousands of AI agents build software, solve problems, and even talk to each other.

Unlike ChatGPT’s ChatGPT moment, this one is a series of moments that spans platforms. It started last December with the explosive success of Claude Code, a powerful agentic AI tool for developers, followed by Claude Cowork, a streamlined version of that tool for knowledge workers who want to be more productive. Then came OpenClaw, formerly known as Moltbot, formerly known as Clawdbot, an open source platform for AI agents. From OpenClaw, we got Moltbook, a social media site where AI agents can post and reply to each other. And somewhere in the middle of this confusing computer soup, OpenAI released a desktop app for its agentic AI platform, Codex.

A Huge Loss of Jobs

.

A huge miscalculation has been made about AI and the job losses coming

by Professor Yu Xiong

When the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, warns that AI will displace workers as profoundly as the industrial revolution, the era of blinkered optimism is over. Britain has spent decades assuming that services and research would protect it from its post-industrial decline. Now, as we enter the automated age, that promise is truly collapsing.

Can AI companions help heal loneliness?

AI companions could either be the cure to our loneliness epidemic … or humanity's final downfall, says Eugenia Kuyda, creator of Replika — an app that allows you to create AI friends. She explores the potential of this technology to either exacerbate isolation or encourage connection, advocating for an AI whose success is driven not by clicks and screen time but by human happiness and flourishing.

The Enigma of Consciousness

.

About a month ago, a family member asked me, "What is my definition of consciousness as it pertains to AI?"

I couldn't answer. AI was advancing faster than anyone had anticipated. I was trying to keep up with the new developments that the definition of consciousness was immaterial. It will happen, and we won't know (or care).

How AI Is Learning to Lie

Microsoft Copilot: An Overview

.

Next to OpenAI’s GPT‑5, which I use most of the time, Microsoft Copilot is my preferred secondary AI assistant. Its greatest strength lies in its seamless integration into Windows 11 and the Microsoft ecosystem, making it highly convenient for productivity and everyday tasks.

Reliability and Limitations

When comparing GPT‑5 and Copilot, I found both occasionally produced incorrect, incomplete, or misleading answers. Verifying and challenging those responses required effort and sometimes slowed down my workflow. This underscores an important reality: even advanced AI assistants are not infallible and must be used critically, especially in research and professional contexts.
