    For @verge, I spoke with police officers, tech companies, and public safety experts about the growing role of AI within law enforcement. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. Huge thanks to @tarbellcenter for their support in bringing this to life!

    I've officially joined @Gizmodo as a senior reporter covering AI! Feeling very lucky to be a part of this team. I'll be covering the industry from all angles—technical, legal, economic, psychological, philosophical. Send tips to [email protected].

    New for @WIRED: DMT trip reports are full of encounters with what seem to be intelligent, otherworldly beings, including the "self-transforming elf machines" of Terence McKenna fame. Are they just hallucinations, or something more?

    Anthropic researchers say they've found "evidence for some degree of introspective awareness in our current Claude models, as well as a degree of control over their own internal states." My latest for @ZDNET:

    AI is becoming introspective - and that 'should be monitored carefully,' warns Anthropic
    Models that introspect on their own thoughts could be a huge boon for researchers - or pose a threat to humans.
