Ole_CNX Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) believes that if artificial intelligence models continue to improve at the rate they are now, humans could become the bottleneck that stalls AI progress. "The evidence suggests that the human role is narrowing at each step in the AI development process," said Marina Favaro, head of The Anthropic Institute, and Jack Clark, a co-founder of Anthropic, in a blog post . "Once human- and AI-authored code quality reach parity, humans will stop writing code entirely, and shift to only reviewing it. But if they can't review code as quickly as Claude can generate it, human review will become the bottleneck to AI development." The Amazon-backed ( AMZN ) Anthropic used internal examples of the rapid rate at which Claude has learned how to handle code. Anthropic engineers are shipping eight times as much code per quarter as they were from 2021 through 2025. This isn't due to CEO Dario Amodei making employees sleep in the office and put in 100-hour work weeks. It's because Claude is becoming much better at following instructions and writing code. AI agents can now write and edit their own code. They can also delegate hours of work to other agents. As of May 2026, more than 80% of the code that Anthropic merged into its codebase was written by Claude. However, these accelerating improvements could lead to grave consequences, the authors warn. As of now, engineers provide Claude with a goal, and Claude can figure out how to achieve the goal without being given a specific method to use. And in research, Claude can already match or outperform humans at executing an experiment. But humans are still required to provide the assignment. Claude is not yet capable of effectively coming up with or using judgment when it comes to generating its own research ideas or specific goals. When, and if, the day arrives that Claude is capable of full recursive self-improvement and begins building ever-more-powerful successors, humans could conceivably lose control of the ...

Ukrainian president proposes meeting in neutral third country as Trump says both sides have to ‘make compromises’ The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has called for face-to-face negotiations in a public letter addressed directly to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. The letter, the first public letter Zelenskyy has written directly to Putin since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, was a sweeping criticism of the Russian leader’s 26 years in power.

Rubio Says 'We Remember Their Lives And Honor Their Legacy' On Tiananmen Massacre's 37th Anniversary Authored by Melanie Sun via The Epoch Times, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement to mark the 37th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party’s Tiananmen Square Massacre. “On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square,” Rubio said in a statement late June 3 in the United States, which is hours behind China. “Chinese students, workers, and other civilians who lost their lives had gathered to exercise their natural rights and demand democratic reforms and accountability for corruption. We remember their lives and honor their legacy,” he said. “No amount of censorship can erase the past. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.” Mention of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre is heavily censored in mainland China, with terms such as “June 4,” “6/4,” “64,” “六四” (in Chinese), and related phrases routinely blocked across all information platforms by China’s internet police. Closer to the sensitive date, even terms like “that year” are censored in an effort to suppress all mention of the Chinese lives lost that day and what they stood for. Despite being unsuccessful in China, the protests sent shockwaves throughout the world and helped strengthen the resolve of people in other communist states, such as East Germany and Romania, also seeking liberty. At the same time, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) dispatched Vice Premier Yao Yilin to East Germany in October 1989 to share its methods for suppressing protests. This year may be particularly sensitive for the CCP, following the November 2025 leak of classified video footage of the 1990 military trial of Maj. Gen. Xu Qinxian, who refused to deploy troops against the protesters in 1989. Xu’s testimony revealed ...

【有線新聞】日本政府制定新的核電政策，據報計劃在2050年之前，重建2至5座核電廠。之後十年重建數目將增加至11至14座，是福島311核災以來，首次訂立具體數量目標。 日本經濟產業省召開核能政策會議，討論全國核電廠重建計劃，據報目標是在2050年之前，重建2至5座進入退役階段的核電廠，之後十年重建數目會增加至11至14座。日本核電廠老化問題嚴重，到2050年許多核電廠都會超過政府規定的60年運作期限。目前全國11座核電廠的24個反應堆正進行退役程序。政府希望透過翻新核電廠，確保能源供應穩定，促進業界人才訓練和投資，應付人工智能世代的電力需求增長。 今次是2011年福島核事故以來，日本政府首次就全國核電廠制訂具體數量目標，計劃預計今年夏季，在內閣會議正式敲定。 日本去年修改能源政策方向，力求最大限度使用核能，目標是將全國總發電量的核能佔比由前年的9.4%，增至2040年的大約兩成。不過，全球核電廠建造成本飆升，令重建計劃未必可如期達成，加上日本發生過嚴重核災，如何取得公眾信任亦是關鍵。靜岡縣的濱岡核電廠，年初更爆出數據造假醜聞，在恢復運作申請，篡改抗震能力報告內容。

GummyBone/iStock Editorial via Getty Images It is finally time for Microsoft Corporation ( MSFT ) to join the AI party. The stock has curiously been left out of the AI rally, likely due to the company’s outsized software business. This comes even as the company shows stunning growth in its Azure business as well as maintaining a huge stake in OpenAI ( OPENAI ), which may come public as soon as this year. The company’s latest set of models appears to show that MSFT is very much still in the AI race. I reiterate my strong buy rating for the stock. MSFT Stock Price I last covered MSFT in February , where I gave my thesis on why I believe that MSFT stands to be a long-term winner in both AI as well as the unpopular software sector. The stock has been left out of the hyperscaler rally since. Data by YCharts The stock’s lukewarm performance appears to be due to a game of comparisons. I expect such reservations to prove transient as investors eventually focus on the reality. MSFT Stock Key Metrics At this point, I view MSFT as being primarily a bifurcation between an enterprise software company and a top-tier hyperscaler. There has been great bearishness in the software sector as of late, which has offset the enthusiasm in the company’s cloud division. That has not held back the company’s financial results, however, with the company generating 18% YoY revenue growth to $82.9 billion, exceeding guidance of between 15% to 17% growth. I was impressed to see the company pair that strong top-line growth with operating leverage, as operating income grew at a faster 20% clip. These are unusual times, as typically companies would have to choose between faster top-line growth and profitability. AI, however, has allowed companies to operate more efficiently without sacrificing margins. FY26 Q3 Presentation MSFT saw its productivity and business processes segment (the software division) show accelerating growth to 17% YoY, up from 16% in the first quarter. This appears to run contrar...

【有線新聞】美國以未有禁止進口強迫勞動產品為由，計劃向全球60個經濟體加徵關稅。貿易代表格里爾強調，會遵守和貿易夥伴已簽定的協議，包括歐盟及日本會維持15%的徵稅上限。 美國日前宣布按照《1974年貿易法》第301條款新一輪的調查結果，向歐盟及日本在內的盟友加徵關稅，令外界憂慮再疊加關稅會超出歐盟及日本貿易協議列明的15%上限。貿易代表格里爾強調推出新關稅措施的同時，會遵守和貿易夥伴已經簽定的協議，包括跟歐盟及日本協定的15%徵稅上限，又重申美國可以在一定範圍內向歐洲貨物加徵關稅。 貿易代表辦公室早前以未有禁止進口強迫勞動產品為由，建議額外向內地、香港、歐盟及日本等60個經濟體加徵10%至12.5%關稅；又以產能過剩為由，向中國、歐盟及日本在內的16個國家啟動301條款調查，預料未來數星期會有結果。 歐盟貿易專員謝夫喬維奇出席經合組織會議期間和格里爾會面，強調美國必須遵守協議，最多向歐洲貨徵收15%關稅。對歐盟被納入加徵關稅名單感到意外，強調已經計劃在明年禁止成員國進口涉及強迫勞動的產品。 中國貿促會對美國計劃加徵關稅表示強烈不滿、堅決反對，認為具有明顯單邊主義和保護主義色彩，呼籲美國停止泛化和濫用貿易限制措施，通過對話協商妥善處理經貿分歧，共同維護全球產業鏈供應鏈穩定。
