“Mr. Dorsey said he did not believe that Block was the first company to realize that the rapid developments of A.I. would change businesses — nor that it would be the last. “I think most companies are late,” he wrote. “Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes. I’d rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively.””

““It’s not about scoring individuals or enforcing scripts. It’s about reinforcing great hospitality and giving managers helpful, real-time insights so they can recognize their teams more effectively,” Burger King said in a statement. Burger King added that the key words are “one of many signals to help managers understand service patterns.” “We believe hospitality is fundamentally human. The role of this technology is to support our teams so they can stay present with guests,” Burger King said.”

Amazon Logo Stylisé

“Amazon’s cloud unit has suffered at least two outages due to errors involving its own AI tools, leading some employees to raise doubts about the US tech giant’s push to roll out these coding assistants. Amazon Web Services experienced a 13-hour interruption to one system used by its customers in mid-December after engineers allowed its Kiro AI coding tool to make certain changes, according to four people familiar with the matter. The people said the agentic tool, which can take autonomous actions on behalf of users, determined that the best course of action was to “delete and recreate the environment”. ”

– development of human capital;
– broadening access for social empowerment;
– trustworthiness of AI systems;
– energy efficiency of AI systems;

AI models fails the viral car wash test

20 février 2026 / noflux

I want to wash my car. My car is currently at home. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

“Even if the flawed prompt is to blame, the chatbots’ answers starkly contrast with their developers’ claims that human-level AI will be built in the next decade or sooner. The widespread failure across models also raises doubts about the AI’s ability to fully automate jobs.”

Claude’s new constitution

21 janvier 2026 / noflux

“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.”

5 janvier 2026 / noflux

“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.”
