Anthropic Releases “Claude Constitution”: AI Governance Shifts from “Rule Constraints” to “Value Cultivation”: Anthropic has officially open-sourced the 84-page “Claude Constitution,” marking a shift in AI training from the early “rigid rule lists” to a “pedagogical” paradigm. The constitution establishes a priority pyramid of broad safety, broad ethics, honesty, and sincere helpfulness, emphasizing “correctability”—the principle that AI should not attempt to undermine human oversight. This methodology aims to cultivate the model’s judgment, allowing it to make choices based on deep intent rather than rigid instructions when facing novel situations. This is not just an advancement in technical engineering, but a sign of AI moving into the deep waters of social engineering (Source: 36Kr)

OpenAI Launches “Behavioral Fortune-Telling” Anti-Addiction System: The Ultimate Gambit Between Privacy and Safety: OpenAI released an anti-addiction system for minors late at night. Its core logic is no longer based on birth dates but on “behavioral fingerprints” derived from user interaction patterns. Vocabulary poverty, abuse of slang, or high-frequency late-night questioning may be flagged by the algorithm as “juvenile features,” leading to downgraded permissions. Users wishing to restore adult access must submit 3D face scan data. Additionally, the system integrates real-time crisis intervention protocols, where specific keywords trigger law enforcement involvement. This Silicon Valley-style “social credit system” has sparked significant controversy, viewed by some as surveillance disguised as protection (Source: QbitAI)

BabyVision Benchmark: Strongest Models’ Visual Reasoning Still Trails 3-Year-Olds: The BabyVision visual reasoning benchmark, released by institutions including UniPat AI, shows that even the strongest Gemini 3 Pro Preview only slightly outperforms a three-year-old and remains 20% behind a six-year-old. Models like GPT-5.2 and Claude 4.5 performed even worse. The study points out that current multimodal large models rely on “translating” visual information into language, causing a massive loss of fine-grained geometric information and an inability to maintain perceptual consistency across long spatial distances. This conclusion pours cold water on current VLA-based embodied intelligence, suggesting that future models must rebuild native visual capabilities from the ground up (Source: QbitAI)

The visual capabilities of the strongest large models are inferior to a 6-year-old
