What Is Claude? Anthropic Doesn’t Know, Either Researchers at the company are trying to understand their A.I. system’s mind—examining its neurons, running it through psychology experiments, and putting it on the therapy couch.

Two slices of French toast cooked sitting on a paper plate next to a fork covered in 100% NYS maple syrup

Pardon the paper plate. We just moved. First French toast in the new apartment. Heidelberg bread, Penzeys cinnamon, eggs for my friend Barb’s farm, and maple syrup from Tully New York. Perfect start to the new year.
