Ever thought about what goes on inside an AI's 'mind'? Turns out, Anthropic’s latest research digs into that exact question, whether large language models like Claude can actually recognize their own inner states. Here’s the quick scoop: - Researchers tested if Claude could notice injected thoughts inside its neural activity. - Some models (Opus 4 and 4.1) showed real signs of recognizing internal changes. - Introspection still hit-or-miss — only works around 20% of the time so far. - These findings hint that future models might genuinely understand parts of their own reasoning. - This could be a big deal for debugging, safety, and building more transparent AI tools. It’s honestly wild to think AIs might start explaining not just what they think, but *how* they think. Do you guys think we’ll reach a point where AIs routinely audit their own reasoning?

OpenAI is quietly building a finance-savvy version of ChatGPT by hiring over 100 ex-investment bankers to teach it how to handle complex financial modeling and pitch decks.

Here’s what’s going down: - OpenAI calls it “Project Mercury” - Bankers get $150/hour to train AI on Excel models and PowerPoint tweaks - Goal is to target the banking industry with serious B2B tools - Enterprise clients could be a key growth engine beyond $20 consumer subscriptions - Signals growing trend of AI automating high-paying, white-collar grunt work Do you think AI will fully take over finance workflows, or will there always be a human piece to the puzzle?
