The “Goblin Problem” in ChatGPT – how a small training signal triggered a large AI effect

It sounds like an internet joke, but it was a real issue: in newer versions of ChatGPT, references to goblins, gremlins and similar fantasy creatures began appearing with unusual frequency – even in entirely serious contexts.

The Cost Trap of Agents: Why AI Workflows Suddenly Get Expensive

0
Agents are widely seen as the next evolution of AI. Systems such as Claude (including Cowork) or automation platforms like n8n promise to plan and execute entire tasks autonomously.

Claude Design: how Anthropic aims to reshape the design process with AI

With Claude Design, Anthropic is trying to solve a problem that many AI tools have so far struggled with: moving beyond generating visually appealing one-off outputs towards something that actually supports a real design workflow. The new product from Anthropic Labs is neither a classic image generator nor a simple prompt-driven toy. Instead, it is a browser-based environment that combines chat, a visual workspace and a pathway into production-ready development. Anthropic positions it as a research preview for Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise users
