    What if you could model peace negotiations between conflicting nations, simulate labor strikes to test collective bargaining strategies, or design resource management systems that prevent the tragedy of the commons, all through a simple web interface? The Concordia Simulation Builder, developed at the United Nations University, makes this possible. This open-source tool brings Google DeepMind’s Concordia…

    You’ve been there. You ask Claude Code to refactor the auth middleware. It proposes server-side rendering (SSR). You explain, once again, that the PM vetoed SSR six months ago for analytics reasons. The agent apologizes, adjusts, and delivers solid work. Next week, a new session. Same agent, same suggestion. The context is gone. This isn’t…

    Turning a 363,000-star single-user AI agent into a secure multi-user platform, without changing a line of its code. The Problem In March 2026, we published “The Lobster in the Machine”, documenting OpenClaw’s emergence as the practical threshold where autonomous AI became useful, accessible, and open. A persistent daemon that checks files, browses the web, sends messages,…

    Two papers from MIT and Stanford now offer formal proof of what many suspected: sycophantic AI is not merely annoying. It is systematically eroding both our grip on reality and our capacity for moral repair. In the spring of 2026, two research teams issued a warning that moved well beyond the familiar complaints about AI…
