What Is Claude? Anthropic Doesn’t Know, Either
A very interesting and entertaining article about how Anthropic builds Claude and shapes its “personality”, with lots of anecdotes and insights into their work.

Have We Forgotten How to Design?
Louis Mantia raises some questions about the role of design in today’s move-fast-and-break-things mentality. I just finished reading The Green Imperative, which was written in the 90-ies, and I’m sure Viktor Papanek would turn over in his grave if he heard some of the examples mentioned here.
