Het Groenlandmonument in Kopenhagen symboliseert voor de één schaamte voor een koloniaal verleden, voor de ander is het juist een eerbetoon. In 2020, toen op meerdere plekken ter wereld koloniale beelden werden neergehaald, werd het ongemoeid gelaten. „Het monument is de geschiedenis van de verhoudingen tussen Denemarken en Groenland in het klein.”

Voor het eerst heeft iemand de vijfduizend meter in minder dan zes minuten afgelegd. Over twee weken vinden de Olympische Winterspelen plaats.

Manchester City have a first Premier League win in four games and Wolves a first defeat after going five unbeaten in all competitions after a fixture in which the referee, Farai Hallam, on his top-flight debut, dared to stick with his decision not to award a penalty despite being sent for a pitchside review by the video assistant referee.

That was for a Yerson Mosquera handball and infuriated Pep Guardiola, though after their dire recent form a first three points since 27 December is what matters.

• Massengo and Chaves strike late in Bavarian derby

• Defeat ends Bayern’s 27-game unbeaten league run

Strugglers Augsburg scored twice in six minutes late in the second half to come from a goal down and stun hosts Bayern Munich 2-1 in the Bavarian derby on Saturday, the league leaders’ first Bundesliga loss of the season.

The hosts, fresh from securing a Champions League knockout spot with Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise, took a 23rd-minute lead thanks to Hiroki Ito’s header but lacked any spark upfront as Augsburg struck in the 75th and 81st minutes through Arthur Chaves and Han-Noah Massengo to earn their first win in Munich for 11 years.

TechCrunch reports:


On Wednesday, Anthropic released a revised version of Claude's Constitution, a living document that provides a "holistic" explanation of the "context in which Claude operates and the kind of entity we would like Claude to be...." For years, Anthropic has sought to distinguish itself from its competitors via what it calls "Constitutional AI," a system whereby its chatbot, Claude, is trained using a specific set of ethical principles rather than human feedback... The 80-page document has four separate parts, which, according to Anthropic, represent the chatbot's "core values." Those values are:

1. Being "broadly safe."
2. Being "broadly ethical."
3. Being compliant with Anthropic's guidelines.
4. Being "genuinely helpful..."
In the safety section, Anthropic notes that its chatbot has been designed to avoid the kinds of problems that have plagued other chatbots and, when evidence of mental health issues arises, direct the user to appropriate services...

Anthropic's Constitution ends on a decidedly dramatic note, with its authors taking a fairly big swing and questioning whether the company's chatbot does, indeed, have consciousness. "Claude's moral status is deeply uncertain," the document states. "We believe that the moral status of AI models is a serious question worth considering. This view is not unique to us: some of the most eminent philosophers on the theory of mind take this question very seriously."

Gizmodo reports:


The company also said that it dedicated a section of the constitution to Claude's nature because of "our uncertainty about whether Claude might have some kind of consciousness or moral status (either now or in the future)." The company is apparently hoping that by defining this within its foundational documents, it can protect "Claude's psychological security, sense of self, and well-being."
