What values does an AI show when talking to real people? Anthropic took a deep dive into its AI, Claude.
They analyzed 700,000 real conversations to see if Claude actually acts "helpful, honest, and harmless."
Good news: Claude mostly aligns with its goals.
This study helps us understand how AI makes judgments and whether it aligns with human values in the real world.
Key point: Evaluating AI values isn't just for the lab. We need ways to check them during actual use, not just pre-release.
Anthropic is sharing its massive values dataset publicly to encourage more research and transparency in AI development.

What if building concrete structures could be cheaper, faster, and use dirt instead of wood molds? MIT might have figured it out.
Building concrete structures needs temporary wooden molds, called formwork. This step is expensive and takes time.
This dirt formwork is "infinitely recyclable," according to the researchers. Just dirt turned into a useful tool.
Plus, 3D printing soil makes it easier to create custom, complex shapes optimized to use less concrete.
Using less concrete is a big deal because it significantly cuts down the carbon emissions linked to construction projects.

Japanese scientists have created artificial blood that works for ANY blood type! This could be a game-changer for transfusions, especially for rare types.
It's made using hemoglobin from expired donor blood, encased in a shell.
Male infertility rates are soaring, up nearly 80% in recent decades. Now, a common parasite is under scrutiny for literally decapitating sperm.
The parasite is Toxoplasma gondii. It's incredibly common, infecting up to half the world's population. 🧵
