Anthropic’s Olah says UNSETTLING, MYSTERIOUS 'things' are regularly found inside AI models ‘We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience’ ‘We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease’

Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah on mysterious AI internal states: We keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that, functionally, mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease. I don't know what that means, but I think it warrants ongoing discernment.

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models. What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve. Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large." The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

😳 Genomics Expert Kevin McKernan Says 'Components of Pfizer's Vaccine' Are Being Found Inside Cancerous Tumors "We're in the stage where we're scanning through tumors to look for integration events and looking for evidence of this in cancer biopsies. And we can find them now ... They found one that had really high spike [protein] sent to us for sequencing. And we can find components of Pfizer's vaccines inside this thing a year after vaccination." Full Episode: Danny Jones Kevin McKernan

They still are just reiterations of announcements and of plans." "And we really haven't seen much happening in terms of actually getting things done." Lydia Miljan

HAPPENING NOW: Members of Parliament in the Canadian government are basically acknowledging one-after-another that we have a crazed dictator in charge of the country, and with limited legal mechanisms to remove him from power. I find that unsettling.

“Yes, I am sad, and so are you, because we are all oppressed, oppressed since birth, shackled by chains of repression, terror, suppression, and fear. We are born and we die in an American prison called the Arab world. They want me to laugh, to speak with joy and that is one of our Arab wonders: to demand from a Human to laugh inside a mourning tent! “ - Ahmed Matar

Bishop Jeffrey Schaub from the Grand Blanc Ward shares an update on the ward and its members following the Sunday, September 28 attack on their local meetinghouse. “We will be happy and find joy again. I know there are a lot of people suffering right now. But we share in that testimony and that love of Jesus Christ that through Him, we’ll find that peace and joy that is missing today, and tomorrow, and the next few days—but it will come."

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin: Activist Judges Are Preventing DHS From Identifying Non-Citizens on the Voter Rolls: “We have created inside DHS the SAVE program that allows states to proactively look at their rolls. And so when you have 278,000 individuals that are non-citizens registered to vote, plus 400,000 that have already been identified just in 23 states, what can we find when we have all 50 participating with us?”

ZELENSKYY: We can destroy all kinds of drones and lot of different missiles. But we still don't have our own anti-ballistic system in our defense shield. We will build it, but we need time for this. And during this time, we are losing people. Until the moment we produce our European anti-ballistic system, we need support from United States. What can we give United States? All the things that we have and that United States doesn't. For example, software, radars, systems of electronic warfare, cheap interceptors, AI drones, lot of different kinds of drones, and so on. But we don't have enough anti-ballistic systems, and United States does. What do we want? We want to share. We want to give everything that we have. We remember that United States helped us from the very beginning of this war. Of course, we are very grateful, and we are ready to share what we have.

"As a devout Christian, I would say it’s one of the most anti-Christian things and anti-American things that you could do," says Vice President JD Vance on religious violence. "One of the fundamental American rights that I think came from our Christian heritage as a civilization is the idea that we respect people’s religious freedom, in part, because we respect them as human beings, but also, because we respect their right to find their own pathway to God. You can’t force anybody to a pathway to God. They have to, through their own free will, find God themselves."

Sam Altman: "I bet there is another new architecture to find" Sam Altman believes we are on the verge of discovering a new underlying architecture that will be as big of a leap forward as Transformers were over LSTMs. He noted that we finally have AI models that are smart enough to help conduct this level of research (GPT 5.4 and above 👀) His direct advice to builders looking for the next major leap is to look for a "mega breakthrough" and use current models to help them find it.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION STATES THAT LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE. Every single person that you attract into your life is a similar vibration to you. We are deep mirrors of each other. And when you're in a romantic relationship, they mirror your deepest wounds. They will mirror the way that you treat yourself. If you treat yourself with love, you attract in people who reflect this love. Your partner is always a reflection of the worst things that you don't want to admit about yourself. © loveagainjen ✨🙌🏽💫

As AI capabilities continue to improve, some people have questioned whether it's possible to reliably identify AI text at all. But researchers like Jenna Russell are finding more ways that human and AI texts differ. " We took about 10,000 human written short stories from published anthologies of stories, and we generated synthetic versions from different AI models." "Then we extracted these very fine-grained features. So things like: how many supporting characters are there in this story? Or: is there a resolution to the plot?" It was possible to identify AI generated stories from these narrative choices alone, even while controlling for stylistic tells. "Once we had all these features, you can train really simple logistic regression type models. And you're able to still very easily distinguish between AI stories and human stories."
