Wow—looks like I’m not the only person with AirPods. Good thing these aren’t connected to my iPad. Thanks Apple for the extremely relevant and actionable warning, and for delivering it by modal pop-up to be sure I couldn’t continue working and accidentally miss it. 🫡

Over the past few months, our Interpretability team has put out a number of smaller research updates. Here’s a thread of some of the things we've been up to:

SecureDrop just wrapped up its 6th security audit! Only 3 vulnerabilities (2 low-severity, 1 medium) were found and fixed in the 2.10.0 release. Big thanks to @7ASecurity and Open Technology Fund for supporting our work to protect journalists and whistleblowers. securedrop.org/news/securedro…

Claude can now view images within a PDF, in addition to text. This helps Claude 3.5 Sonnet more accurately understand complex documents, such as those laden with charts or graphics. Enable the feature preview: claude.ai/new?fp=1.

Fleming describes the fantastic Anthropic Claude Artifacts interface, and how much he learned from the 3,000 word "system prompt" that, among other things, guides Claude on when and when not to use Artifacts. "Anthropic has this web interface like ChatGPT, but you can say,
