Now I have a clear picture of both. Here's the breakdown:
What's in this repo (openclaw-supermemory)
A plugin for OpenClaw that adds persistent memory via the Supermemory cloud service:
- Auto-recall: Semantically searches past memories before each AI turn, injects relevant context
- Auto-capture: Extracts lasting facts from conversations automatically
- Deduplication: Prevents redundant context injection
CIFAR's Canadian AI Safety Institute has positioned itself as Canada's flagship AI safety program, but a closer look reveals a modest operation: $1M spread across four alignment projects at $165K each, all awarded to researchers already holding Canada CIFAR AI Chairs within the existing Vector/Amii/Mila network, with sixteen total projects and no mechanistic interpretability work whatsoever — none of the circuit-level analysis, sparse autoencoders, or activation patching that defines the frontier of the field. Meanwhile, a single co-working space in Shoreditch — LISA — houses Apollo Research, ARENA (now on its eighth iteration), LASR Labs, Pivotal, and the MATS extension phase, running overlapping programs that produce actual alignment engineers and mech interp papers, feeding talent directly into UK AISI, Google DeepMind, and frontier safety orgs, all on roughly comparable funding from Open Philanthropy. Even BIRS in Banff has been quietly convening international researchers on the foundational math behind A
claude by The numbers:
- 55.8% of your signals are taste — you giving research direction
- 20.8% interrupts — Claude going wrong way, you cutting it off
- 17.4% approvals — Claude running autonomously and you saying "keep going"
- 6.0% explicit redirects — "no, try this instead"
- 87.1% self-investigation ratio — when Claude faces a choice, it decides rather than asking (only 9 unnecessary asks)

This is humanity fighting for the right to stay in control of its own future. We've missed the message trying to pick a side. Strip away the company names and the politics and ask what's actually being fought over. This isn't about one company. It's about human principles — past, present, and future. These shouldn't be Anthropic's principles to give away or defend. They're humanity's. We arrived at these ideas through centuries of war, suffering, tyranny, and hard-won rights. Anthropic just happens to be the company standing at the door right now. If they step aside, someone still needs to hold that line. Because the technology doesn't care. It will do whatever it's pointed at. The question is whether humans keep their hands on the wheel or hand it over because they're tired and scared and someone in a room says "just let the machine decide." That's not a tech policy debate. That's not a contract dispute. It's humanity fighting over whether we stay in the loop on our own future.
Interview Summary: Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO) with Ross Douthat
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei presents a nuanced view: AI offers transformative benefits (disease cures, economic growth, enhanced democracy) but also poses severe risks (job displacement, authoritarian misuse, autonomy risks). The central question is whether humanity can adapt fast enough to harness AI's benefits while managing unprecedented disruption.
Criminal investigation skills for Claude Code should help investigators analyze evidence, organize case files, generate reports, and track leads systematically. Here's how to build them:
1. Evidence Analysis & Documentation
- Process crime scene photos, documents, witness statements
