Image created with gemini-2.5-flash-image with claude-sonnet-4-5. Image prompt: PS1-era top-down pixel art of busy intersection with chunky sprite cars and pedestrians, neon traffic lights in hot pink and electric blue, some vehicles perfectly aligned in lanes while others drift chaotically, saturated primary colors against dark asphalt, dithered road textures with high contrast lane markers, isometric bird’s-eye view showing emergent patterns of order and chaos, CRT screen glow effect, 32-bit graphics aesthetic

This is interesting for a lot of reasons, including helping explain how model personality drift happens (and an easy way to mitigate that) as well as more exploration into the “Assistant” the key personality of basically every AI you work with, but which is not well understood.”” https://x.com/emollick/status/2013420897403543681

Sharing our principles for how we will approach ads in ChatGPT before we start testing in the U.S. in the coming weeks. Most importantly: ads will not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you.”” https://x.com/fidjissimo/status/2012226082716393960
We are starting to test ads in ChatGPT free and Go (new $8/month option) tiers. Here are our principles. Most importantly, we will not accept money to influence the answer ChatGPT gives you, and we keep your conversations private from advertisers. It is clear to us that a lot”” https://x.com/sama/status/2012253252771824074

When my students were creating initial demos with Claude Code & Antigravity, the AI would often spontaneously decide to do Wizard of Oz demos. The AI would build an interface, but not underlying logic. Code would (live!) run the interface behind the scenes to make it look working”” https://x.com/emollick/status/2012212148915654753
Claude’s Constitution \ Anthropic https://www.anthropic.com/constitution
Claude’s constitution is out! It’s the culmination of a lot of work by many people, but it’s also a work in progress that will no doubt change and hopefully improve over time. I’m looking forward to people’s thoughts, and to talking with more people about this kind of work ❤️”” https://x.com/AmandaAskell/status/2014010171081581048

Claude’s new constitution https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/21/claudes-new-constitution/
If you ask Claude 4.5 for the name of a software developer, you are going to get Marcus Chen. Wizards are mostly named Aldric. Space pilots are Kira. (I’d been meaning to do this myself at some point, since this repetition is so obvious to Claude users) https://x.com/emollick/status/2013057279990407418
The Claude Constitution shows where Anthropic thinks this is all going. It is a massive document covering many philosophical issues. I think it is worth serious attention beyond the usual AI-adjacent commentators. Other labs should be similarly explicit. https://x.com/emollick/status/2014042317162791095
We’re publishing a new constitution for Claude. The constitution is a detailed description of our vision for Claude’s behavior and values. It’s written primarily for Claude, and used directly in our training process.”” https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/2014005798691877083
Our approach to age prediction | OpenAI https://openai.com/index/our-approach-to-age-prediction/
Sometimes you complain about ChatGPT being too restrictive, and then in cases like this you claim it’s too relaxed. Almost a billion people use it and some of them may be in very fragile mental states. We will continue to do our best to get this right and we feel huge”” https://x.com/sama/status/2013703158459978076
Robots don’t need more rules. They need better ways to learn: RL with synthetic data. Group Relative Policy Optimization, or GRPO, is not just another RL trick. It points to a different learning philosophy. Instead of giving a robot one simple reward, GRPO compares many”” https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/2012448824904557015
