Plus: Space data centers don't exist yet, but people already oppose them. Supercooled kidneys have been transplanted into pigs in a "landmark achievement" When it comes to organ donation, time is everything. As soon as an organ has been removed from a donor's body, it starts to deteriorate. Surgeons have only a matter of hours to get it into a recipient. In most cases, organs will be kept on ice during that time, at around 4 C (39 F). They cannot be frozen--in previous attempts, ice has formed, causing all kinds of damage.

Claude's voice mode just got smarter Claude's voice mode just got smarter And you can connect it to apps like Gmail and Slack. Since last year, Anthropic has offered a voice mode through Claude, allowing you to speak to its chatbot instead of writing out your prompts. If I had to guess, most people probably don't know Claude has voice input. However, for those that have used it, the consensus has been that it could use work . One issue is that before today Anthropic routed voice mode queries through Haiku, its smallest model, to reduce latency. That meant voice mode worked well enough for simple questions, but could struggle with more complicated requests.

Plus: Why the OpenAI hack is the scariest AI mishap yet. The power line that could reshape New York's grid is hitting snags During a heat wave on July 3, New York State's grid imported enough electricity from Canada to meet about 9% of its total demand that day. Some of that power shuttled in on a 339-mile power line stretching from Quebec to Queens. It opened in May and is officially the longest underground transmission line in North America. It could provide up to 20% of New York City's electricity demand, largely with abundant hydropower from Quebec. One wrinkle: The line has been down for most of this month, and some experts are concerned about how drought will affect the power supply feeding it.

China's AI models have Trump's AI world at war with itself David Sacks branded Anthropic's models "lobotomized" and "woke." Emil Michael, a top Pentagon official, called OpenAI's new head of strategic futures a "supreme village idiot." It began because no one can agree on what to do about Kimi, a free, open-source model that Chinese AI company Moonshot launched last week. It appears to rival the intelligence of models from OpenAI and Anthropic, which are very much not free. Every time a new smart, free model from China gets released, US companies see less reason to fork out money for models from Anthropic or OpenAI. Read the full story on why no one can agree what to do about Kimi .

What is Iran's Pickaxe Mountain? Can AI systems make moral decisions in war? Artificial intelligence is reshaping how wars are fought. From autonomous drones to AI-powered command-and-control, machines are paving the way for fewer decision-makers in the war room and boots on the ground. That transformation is already reshaping conflicts by introducing new technologies in Kyiv, Gaza and Tehran.

How To use Claude's Reflect dashboard and learn when it's time to touch grass How To use Claude's Reflect dashboard and learn when it's time to touch grass Break reminders are your friend. Anthropic's Claude chatbot can be an incredible productivity tool, but like any digital experience, it's possible to overuse it to the point where it starts to negatively affect your life. To help users get a better sense of how much time they're spending with Claude, and nurture a more thoughtful relationship with its technology, Anthropic recently released Reflect, a new dashboard inside of the chatbot's settings menu that's a mix between Spotify Wrapped and Apple's Screen Time tool. In this guide, I'll go over how you can use the tool to put limits on your Claude usage. First, you'll want to access the dashboard and generate your first reflect report.

PCWorld reports that Claude AI's new 1Password integration allows secure automation of online tasks like grocery shopping without exposing user passwords. The connector uses separate channels to maintain security, with 1Password handling login credentials while Claude performs website interactions on desktop Mac. Testing showed successful FreshDirect order completion, demonstrating potential for streamlining routine online chores, though social logins and passkeys aren't currently supported.

If you like putting Claude's AI agents to work on personal chores but are concerned about giving them access to your credentials, there's a new solution available. Users can now authorize Claude to complete real-world tasks like booking travel and managing accounts securely with credentials injected directly to the target system on their behalf, 1Password explains. Security has emerged as a big issue when using agents to complete tasks on your behalf. Sharing credentials directly with an agent exposes them to the model, its memory and the systems behind it, which can pose a risk if the model gets hacked . To solve that problem, 1Password built a zero-exposure security framework that allows agents to use stored credentials from your 1Password vault without them reaching the model.

Women use A.I. less than men and do more of the cognitive work at home. The A.I. "family assistant" promises to bridge both divides. In a promotional video for Ollie, an A.I. family assistant, one of the company's founders, Bill Lennon, is about to announce his new venture in front of a camera crew when his phone starts pinging. "THE BABY JUST ON THE CARPET / like A LOT / WHILE I WAS ON ZOOM W AN INVESTOR." Then, a somewhat anticlimactic follow-up: "My sister coming for dinner btw did I tell you???" Lennon does not respond directly to these messages, which are presumably from his wife.

Plus: New York has become the first state to enact a data center moratorium. When Anthropic announced last week that it had found a new window into its models' "internal thoughts" as they reason through answers, there was one colleague I had to talk to: senior editor Will Douglas Heaven. Aside from having a PhD in computer science, Will has spent a lot of time digging into what we can say about how AI models work. I spoke with him about what we should take from Anthropic's new (and typically quirky) research. Here's what he had to say . How will AI understand the real world?
