AI helps read papyrus scroll burnt to crisp during Vesuvius eruption

The Guardian

The scroll was recovered from the library of a luxury Roman villa in Herculaneum, near Naples, that was blasted by heat and buried under ash in AD79. The scroll was recovered from the library of a luxury Roman villa in Herculaneum, near Naples, that was blasted by heat and buried under ash in AD79. The surviving part of an ancient scroll that was burnt to a crisp when Mount Vesuvius erupted nearly 2,000 years ago has been virtually unwrapped and read with help from artificial intelligence. Researchers uncovered 20 columns of previously hidden text covering more than a metre of charred papyrus without physically unrolling the scroll. The age of the scroll, named PHerc 1667, makes it one of the oldest in a collection of hundreds recovered from the library of a luxury Roman villa in Herculaneum that was blasted by heat and buried under ash in the volcanic eruption that destroyed nearby Pompeii in AD79.

The Trump White House Is Over Anthropic's Dario Amodei

WIRED

The Trump White House Is Over Anthropic's Dario Amodei At high-stakes meetings with the White House, Anthropic's CEO--a weirdo, per one official--has been replaced by cofounder Tom Brown. The Trump administration has been happier talking to Anthropic lately, according to people familiar with the matter: They don't have to deal with CEO Dario Amodei anymore, because he's been replaced in meetings about re-releasing the Claude Fable 5 AI model by his cofounder Tom Brown. "Tom Brown is not being a weirdo like Dario and can actually engage," said one person directly familiar with the calls. The administration has not yet lifted the export controls that took Anthropic's most powerful models offline on June 12 after the National Security Agency affirmed there were ways to disable guardrails and access the more powerful capabilities of the company's restricted Mythos model. But the administration has had multiple calls with Anthropic in recent days, encouraged by the fact that Brown and Anthropic's public policy chief, Sarah Heck, have been leading the outreach.
