“We’re publishing a new constitution for our AI model, Claude. It’s a detailed description of Anthropic’s vision for Claude’s values and behavior; a holistic document that explains the context in which Claude operates and the kind of entity we would like Claude to be. The constitution is a crucial part of our model training process, and its content directly shapes Claude’s behavior. Training models is a difficult task, and Claude’s outputs might not always adhere to the constitution’s ideals. But we think that the way the new constitution is written—with a thorough explanation of our intentions and the reasons behind them—makes it more likely to cultivate good values during training. In this post, we describe what we’ve included in the new constitution and some of the considerations that informed our approach. We’re releasing Claude’s constitution in full under a Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Deed, meaning it can be freely used by anyone for any purpose without asking for permission.”
“The team then looked through information from OpenAlex—an open-access catalog of scientific papers—and industry announcements to check for ties between authors and social media companies during the period when the journals required disclosure. They found about half of all papers had some such tie, suggesting authors in 30% of all studies were not declaring potential conflicts of interest. For the subset of papers that revealed the identity of the editors and peer reviewers, the authors also examined whether they, too, had any conflicts of interest. Adding those who did to the analysis pushed up the proportion of papers that had some industry tie to 66%. Extrapolating to cases where the reviewers were anonymous, the researchers estimated that only one in five papers were likely to have remained fully independent of industry throughout the publication process.”
“The For You feed algorithm retrieves, ranks, and filters posts from two sources: In-Network (Thunder): Posts from accounts you follow Out-of-Network (Phoenix Retrieval): Posts discovered from a global corpusBoth sources are combined and ranked together using Phoenix, a Grok-based transformer model that predicts engagement probabilities for each post. The final score is a weighted combination of these predicted engagements.We have eliminated every single hand-engineered feature and most heuristics from the system. The Grok-based transformer does all the heavy lifting by understanding your engagement history (what you liked, replied to, shared, etc.) and using that to determine what content is relevant to you.”

“De fait, Corporate Europe Observatory et LobbyControl soulignent la proximité croissante entre défenseurs des intérêts des Big Tech et partis européens d’extrême droite. Si chaque entreprise et association d’entreprises a sa propre stratégie, les deux entités soulignent notamment le renforcement des relations entre Meta et le groupe des Conservateurs et réformistes européens. Lors du précédent mandat, la société de Mark Zuckerberg n’avait rencontré qu’une seule fois un député d’extrême droite. Sous la législature qui a débuté en juillet 2024, 38 réunions ont déjà été organisées.Dans une moindre mesure, des représentants de Google opèrent le même rapprochement : depuis la publication de la proposition de la Commission, le directeur des Affaires publiques de Google France a par exemple participé à au moins une rencontre sur le sujet de l’IA avec des membres du Rassemblement National.”

“All product information, such as description, images, pricing and ratings, comes from merchant sites, according to Amazon’s FAQ page. “This information is refreshed regularly to reflect changes merchants make on their sites.” But Amazon also says it “may modify these for display on the Amazon Shopping app.” That might explain why one of Chua’s products listed on Amazon through “Buy For Me” — a vinyl sticker — erroneously displayed a photo of a pair of pants, a product that Chua has never sold. It’s unclear where the image came from, but Amazon says it doesn’t generate AI images of a brand’s products. “It was a totally random stock image,” Chua said. “I don’t sell pants.” Chua also received at least several orders for products that were either out of stock or no longer existed on her website. She said she canceled several of those purchases and issued refunds after realizing Amazon had enabled customers to order items that had been fully removed from her online store.”

“L’enquête sectorielle s’intéressera notamment aux thématiques suivantes : L’intégration de la publicité au sein des agents conversationnels : l’Autorité étudiera notamment les modalités d’affichage de ces publicités et le rôle joué par ces dernières dans le modèle économique de ces acteurs. L’intégration des agents conversationnels au sein de services existants : la question des effets de levier et de l’autoréférence sera particulièrement scrutée, ces agents étant mis en œuvre par des acteurs dominants. Les partenariats noués par les éditeurs d’agents conversationnels La transformation des agents conversationnels en plateformes : les agents conversationnels sont plus que de simples interfaces de questions réponses et tendent à devenir de véritables plateformes, permettant aux utilisateurs d’accéder directement à des services tiers sans quitter la fenêtre de conversation.En revanche, la relation entre les agents conversationnels et les moteurs de recherche ne fait pas partie du champ de l’avis.”

“L’IA consomme beaucoup d’énergie et chez Infomaniak, rien n’est perdu. La chaleur produite par Euria est entièrement récupérée et réinjectée dans le chauffage urbain de Genève. Euria démontre qu’une IA peut être puissante tout en étant plus soutenable pour la planète : 100% alimentée par des énergies renouvelables, sans eau gaspillée, toute l’énergie profite une seconde fois à la collectivité pour chauffer des foyers. Boris Siegenthaler, fondateur d’Infomaniak. Concrètement, le data center qui propulse Euria permet, à pleine capacité, de chauffer jusqu’à 6 000 logements en hiver, de fournir 20 000 douches chaudes par jour et d’éviter la combustion de 3 600 tonnes de CO₂ issus du gaz naturel par an.”
