In January, Mike Krieger transitioned from his old job as Anthropic's chief product officer to leading the company's labs team. David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images Anthropic Labs chief Mike Krieger said he's receiving a lot of emails from parents of soon-to-be college graduates. Like many, they are wondering what their kids should do to thrive in an era of AI upheaval. Krieger said it's important "to remain curious" and understand nothing is "set in stone." Top Anthropic executive Mike Krieger's message to college graduates and their parents nervous about AI is that they're not the only ones going through this process. "I think what I tell folks is you're not alone," Krieger told tech journalist Alex Heath during a recent episode of Heath's "Access" podcast. "This is a shared kind of complicated thing." Krieger, who cofounded Instagram, said he receives "a whole class of email" from people in his broader social circle who are parents of soon-to-be college graduates. One of his messages is that there will continue to be innately human areas that AI won't affect anytime soon. "I think the things that will still remain human, and ineffable, and important are still relationships and curiosity and creativity and the ability to organize people towards an end," he said. "I don't see AI replacing that anytime soon." Since January, Krieger has helped lead Anthropic Labs, a unit dedicated to "incubating experimental products at the frontier of Claude's capabilities," as the AI startup described it at the time. Previously, Krieger was Anthropic's chief product officer. Anthropic has become one of the most outspoken AI companies when it comes to talking about job displacement. Its CEO Dario Amodei, has repeatedly warned that AI will wipe out up to half of all entry-level, white-collar jobs in the next one to five years. AI executives have increasingly discussed their advice for those joining the workforce, even as the debate about the extent of displacement rages on. Krieger said it's important to understand that if someone is unhappy in this situation, it won't always remain that way. "Even if in the current moment with all the uncertainty, maybe our friend's kid doesn't land in exactly the job that they wanted, things will continue to shift," he said. "Nothing is set in stone." Like others, Krieger emphasized that people who are open to change will be better able to navigate this moment. "I think if people remain curious and actively exploring what the frontier looks like, they might then either be part of creating a whole new category of jobs or progressing to a different place in their own companies," he said.

Travel influencer Jake Rosmarin has been posting about life in quarantine after a hantavirus outbreak aboard the M/V Hondius. Jake Rosmarin, AFP via Getty Images Jake Rosmarin is a creator who's been in quarantine after the hantavirus outbreak. The travel influencer saw his Instagram followers soar after posting about life during the incubation period. Rosmarin said he's had mixed emotions seeing his follower count take off for his quarantine posts. This as-told-to story is based on an interview with Jake Rosmarin, an American travel influencer who is being quarantined after being on board the M/V Hondius cruise ship following a hantavirus outbreak. The following has been edited for length and clarity. I'm a freelance content creator and photographer, and was on the cruise with the company to show people these remote places that they might not know about. I'm on day four of a 42-day incubation period in the national quarantine unit in Omaha, Nebraska, and as of this moment, I do not have any viral infection. Even though it doesn't mean anything in the long run, I'm taking it as a win. I'm stuck in a room all day. It's a bit nicer than a hospital room, and I'm allowed to get packages and stuff. I was able to get a mattress cover, new pillows, and sheets. I'm supposed to get posters today, so I'm able to make this place feel like home. I miss my fiancé and my family. I get to talk to them every day. But it's the physical contact — I'm a big hugger, and I can't wait to be able to hug people again. I've been posting about what my days look like because I think it was just something that I needed to do for my mental headspace, because that's all I know: creating content. Maybe it'll feed some of the conspiracy theory people, but at the end of the day, you're not going to change their minds for the most part, right? I have mixed emotions The increase in followers that I've gotten was a really emotional experience for me, especially when I hit the 50K mark. I just cried a lot, because I really was so excited at some point to hit 50K followers on Instagram. I never wanted to get to where I am now because of a situation like this. I got into freelance content creation and photography after quitting my job in TV advertising in 2021 and slowly made it my full-time job. I enjoy showing people about my life. I'm not just Jake the traveler — I'm Jake the marathon runner, and Jake the guy who likes to go on long walks and hikes, and go to Orange Theory, and try new foods and do new activities in Boston. As a small travel influencer, I'm not paid by the company — I think that's a misconception. A lot of the time, I'm being sent on a free trip, and I make money when I convince people to travel with a certain company through an affiliate link or promotional code. The amount of travel varies — I could take two to 10 trips a year. I also do some brand ambassador work for a travel company. Looking to the future No travel company has reached out to me, so I don't know what this experience will mean for me in the long run. I also think it's not really the right time for me to be doing any kind of partnership — I'm in a quarantine unit. A company messaged me yesterday, and I said, "Thank you so much for the comment. Instead of sending me something, if you were able to donate something toward hantavirus research, I think that would be really amazing." I really don't want to be receiving things from brands. If I knew that someone was sending me something because that's what they really cared about, and didn't care about a shout-out or anything like that, maybe I'd be open to it. But if a big company that has a lot of money can send something to me, why not donate to research instead? The first step of getting through this is to come to terms with the realization that I'll be here for a total of 42 days. Then it's trying to look at the positives and appreciate the little things. Getting a Starbucks delivered to me brought me so much joy. I can either stay in this room for six weeks and sulk or try to enjoy my time as much as possible. I think when this is over, I'm going to go back to what I was doing before the trip: integrating all aspects of my life into my content. I don't want it to become my entire life. I'm not always going to be Jake, the guy who was in the hantavirus quarantine. Read the original article on Business Insider

The author broke a 222-day Wordle streak. Courtesy of Alesandra Dubin I often organized my day around Wordle and had a daily alarm, so I wouldn't forget to play. I had a 222-day streak, and when I finally broke it by running out of guesses, I was heartbroken. However, I realized that the feeling of obligation had stolen my love of doing the puzzle. Once my streak got long enough, I knew I was helplessly hooked on Wordle. For 222 straight days, I opened the New York Times Games app and dutifully completed the daily puzzle amid a slot machine-like spin of yellow and green squares. Early on, it was genuinely a fun challenge, a pleasant little ritual as part of my evening wind-down scrollfest. But somewhere along the way, the game stopped being just a game, and keeping the streak alive became the whole point. I often went to great lengths to protect my Wordle streak I started organizing my behavior around protecting it. I set a daily alarm on my iPhone so I didn't accidentally let the day go by and forget to play, no matter how busy I got. I played while sick (reasonably easy). I played while exhausted (harder). And I played while traveling internationally with rigorous itineraries in upside-down time zone situations (hardest). Once, while returning from a remote island trip with my family, I erased all my vacation zen by struggling to find WiFi in a low-tech airport so as not to break my streak (and then, when I couldn't, I paid $30 for WiFi on the long-haul overnight flight home for the explicit purpose). Then one day, not as a result of some dramatic life event or connectivity flameout, but just because I ran out of guesses, I lost. And just like that, 222 days of consistent positive reinforcement went away. I was surprised by how upset I was when my streak ended When I saw my new current streak at "0," I felt disproportionately upset. I felt like I'd lost something meaningful to me — a sign, perhaps, of my smarts and dedication. As one does, I texted my woe to the group chat: "I can't even have this?!" My sister replied immediately: "Streaks are a conspiracy to keep us enslaved." My longtime friend wrote: "You smashed it. Mission accomplished. Goodbye! On to the next mountain!" With that encouragement, my thinking completely shifted. Instead of focusing on how I blew it, I internalized a sense of — what was this new feeling? — freedom. For the first time in more than seven months, I no longer had this digital obligation in addition to all my regular daily tasks of parenting, work, and everything else. Talk about reframing the narrative. I started thinking about 'streak culture' After my epiphany, the idea of streak culture got under my skin. Streaks are everywhere now: Wordle, Duolingo, Peloton, meditation apps, fitness trackers, and on and on. Modern life is increasingly organized around maintaining visible continuity, often through brightly colored counters, icons, badges, bursts of digital confetti, and other celebratory notifications designed to make us feel accomplished for simply showing up repeatedly. And to be fair, streaks absolutely can be helpful for motivation. Plenty of people genuinely benefit from the structure and accountability they provide. The reason so many apps use them is that they really do work. But they also create a dynamic where skipping a leisure activity is psychologically fraught. "Every time Duolingo shows you a flame icon growing higher or Wordle tells you your streak is still alive, your brain releases a small hit of dopamine," Mel Plourde, LMSW, a psychiatric technician and program case manager at Eagle Creek Ranch Recovery Center, told me. None of it is accidental. "These apps are designed to produce a neurochemical reward system that makes you keep coming back," she said. She explained that losing a streak can feel surprisingly painful because of something called "loss aversion"— the psychological principle that losing something tends to feel more emotionally powerful than gaining something of equal value. Missing one day of Wordle did not objectively change anything about my life. I hadn't lost money, status, relationships, reputation, or opportunities. And yet emotionally, it felt weirdly significant. But once the streak disappeared, I realized how much pressure I'd attached to something that was supposed to be fun — and I was quite glad to be rid of it. I lost the love of the game — and now, I have it back Plourde also mentioned the "overjustification effect," in which external rewards replace internal motivation. In other words, you start learning a language because you genuinely want to learn it, but eventually, you're opening the app mainly to protect the streak counter. If I'm being honest, by around day 100, I wasn't really playing Wordle because I loved Wordle anymore — and it certainly didn't feel like a wind-down brain break. I was playing because I didn't want to lose. Now that the streak is gone, I still play occasionally. But I definitely deleted that daily alarm. Now I play because I feel like it, not because of an app holding me hostage. And that feels a lot healthier. Read the original article on Business Insider

After having two kids, my house had become disorganized and cluttered. So, I turned to a professional. Amy Lombard for BI In the five years I've lived in my house, there's an entryway bench I've never once sat on. This poor, sweet little bench is always buried underneath piles of coats, orphaned socks whose partners have presumably started new and better lives, and the occasional fossilized Girl Scout cookie. Our coat rack cowers in the corner, assuming the posture of a weeping willow in its final days. Many people with children recognize this tableau as the encroaching entropy of modern family life, where nothing seems to have a place, and the thought of fixing the chaos looms so large that it just never happens! I'd been meaning to declutter for a long time, but never got around to it. Amy Lombard for BI Decluttering had been on my to-do list for about eight months. At one point, I gleefully declared I would be "rewarding" myself every evening after bedtime by decluttering one small area. By day three, I realized this was the worst idea I'd ever had, and resumed bingeing "The Pitt." On day four, I decided to hire Raquel Bolton of Rainbow Rooms, a local professional organizer, to visit my home, assess the chaos, and implement systems to contain it. Ten hours of her time cost me $1,000. Here is what I learned. Where do we start? Raquel Bolton lives up to her company name: her leggings contained every color visible to the human eye, and she showed me photos of her own home, which is similarly bright and cheery. Bolton offered a free consultation to walk through my space as she gave an honest assessment: I had the budget for 10 hours. A full overhaul — including relocating the sprawling main-floor kids' zone to our finished basement, which is currently used for storage — would take about 30 hours over one to two weeks. We decided to do what we could, tackling the entryway and our connected living-dining room areas over the course of two days. @media (min-width: 768px) { .vertical-image-wrapper { display: flex; justify-content: center; } .vertical-image-wrapper .vertical-image { width: min(calc(80vh * var(--img-w) / var(--img-h)), 100%); min-width: 0; } } Bolton sent links ahead of time with storage options I could order before she arrived, but she was also happy to work with what I already had. We ended up doing a little bit of both. On our first day, Bolton immediately set to work sorting swiftly through years of accumulated kid clutter. "It's going to look a lot worse before it gets better," she warned, as we sat on the floor surrounded by Barbies with their hair chopped off, waterlogged puzzles missing key pieces, and a toy cellphone that had recently caused a full-on sibling war. Within minutes, she created piles: keep, donate, nostalgia, toss. What struck me most was how fast she moved. Where I might have spent 10 minutes debating the emotional significance of a broken toy stethoscope, she made the (correct) call in seconds. I was impressed by how quickly the organizer moved through my stuff. Amy Lombard for BI Before becoming a professional organizer, Bolton was a fifth-grade teacher and ran a home day care, so she moved through the piles with an intuitive sense of what was developmentally past its prime and what still had life in it. I got so emotional (over my) baby I expected to feel mildly embarrassed by all of the crap we would find, but I didn't anticipate the emotional weight of the process; a sizable number of toys and books triggered specific memories. I had to invoke my inner Marie Kondo — expressing gratitude for the joy each item had brought my family — and then say goodbye. And for particularly meaningful or high-value items that I couldn't part with, we had the "nostalgia" pile waiting. They'd later be put in a dedicated storage zone. Once we hit our stride, Bolton didn't need me hovering. She worked through the remaining areas solo, and I'd resurface periodically to find three neat piles awaiting my executive approval. The process felt efficient and literally saved me hours. I saved a lot of time working with an organizer. Amy Lombard for BI Occasionally, mystery items would surface — Bolton used Google's AI tools to identify them. My favorite was a set of small wooden pieces that flabbergasted both of us, but that artificial intelligence correctly identified as fake pills from a doctor's kit. We were able to reunite them with their toy. At 2 p.m. sharp, Bolton took a break to sign her kids up for their town's coveted spring-break camp as soon as registration opened. If you are a parent, you understand. The moment was a humanizing reminder to me that this service was different from hiring other contractors: Bolton is also a mom in the trenches who navigates the same challenges, and she brings that perspective into every aspect of the work. The kitchen analogy Bolton has a signature framework she shares with every client: "Everything has a home." It sounds obvious until she maps it onto your actual life. "I tell my clients that the ideal playroom has a similar setup to a kitchen," she explained. "You have cupboards and drawers for putting things away, those drawers have specific contents, and then you have workspace — the countertop, the island — which is the equivalent of the playroom floor or a play table." The analogy extends to how we use the space. @media (min-width: 768px) { .vertical-image-wrapper { display: flex; justify-content: center; } .vertical-image-wrapper .vertical-image { width: min(calc(80vh * var(--img-w) / var(--img-h)), 100%); min-width: 0; } } According to Bolton, you would never empty the spoons and forks from your dishwasher and toss them randomly into a drawer mixed with the peeler and spatula. Yet, she pointed out, most parents do exactly that with their children's toys — lobbing everything into one giant bin — and somehow this seems completely normal. "For children, playing is their 'job,'" she said. "Toys are the tools they need to do their work. If we want children to be independent, they need to be able to find their tools." And when it comes to tidying up, Bolton cautions against ever telling your kids, "Don't mess up the playroom. I just tidied up in there!" You would never say: "Don't have a cup of tea. I just put the mugs away." Toys are meant to be played with. Volume problems I asked Bolton what the most common mistake families make that contributes to clutter. "Too many toys," she said, without missing a beat. "Of course, all the toys end up tossed randomly into one bin, because the quantity is so overwhelming. It's too time-consuming to put things in individual places when there are just too many of them." We probably don't need so many toys in our house. Amy Lombard for BI Her solution, apart from regular decluttering, is toy rotation. Rather than giving children access to everything at once, Bolton advocates treating toys like seasonal décor or a rotating wardrobe — a curated selection is accessible at any given time, while the rest is stored away. The payoff is twofold. First, tidying up becomes more manageable. Second, during her years running a day care, Bolton found that children play better when a limited number of toys are available. Fewer choices lead to less overwhelm and more focus. As a bonus, a toy that's been out of rotation for several weeks feels brand new when it comes back out. Putting everything back together again Bolton's core principles in practice are simple: keep things in their logical places, create systems kids can use themselves (picture labels for younger children so they can put things back independently), and remember that kids won't play with toys they can't see. And at the end of the two days, our entryway transformation was the most dramatic. Each family member now has a dedicated hook and bin — the simplest and most economical solution rather than a more elaborate built-in. The bench is, for the first time, accessible. I can now actually see and use the bench I've had for so long. Amy Lombard for BI Bolton also encouraged us to move a beautiful dresser up from the basement, where it had been sitting empty and unappreciated, into the dining room to house my husband's art supplies, my annual two-week knitting hobby, assorted electronics, and the general adult miscellany that had previously lived visibly on every horizontal surface in the house. A newly organized TV room. A dining room with a dedicated art cart. Adult things and children's things, finally separated. My 7-year-old son came home that afternoon and said, "This woman is a GOD! I can actually find things now when I want to play with them." He was especially pleased with his "weapons corner," which, I want to be clear, contains only foam Harry Potter Swords of Gryffindor. The next morning, instead of going straight to the TV, my kids went to their newly visible, newly accessible toys. Bolton would not be surprised. My kids loved the new playroom setup. Amy Lombard for BI But does it keep? After our initial reveling, a few days in, things looked a bit sloppy again, but it was a meaningfully different kind of sloppy. Things have places now, categories exist, and critically, there is just less of everything. That last part is probably the most durable change because no amount of system-building can compensate for the volume that comes from hanging onto a lifetime supply of miniature plastic objects engineered for a hyper-consumerist childhood where nothing is meant to last, except maybe the clutter. The kids eventually drifted back to their morning TV routine (because "Peppa Pig" remains, inexplicably, appointment television). Still, now, when I say "that's it" for TV time, they are less likely to whine and more willing to explore the analog alternatives around them. I do have one concern: the beautifully labeled craft supplies in their elegant storage bags have not been touched in earnest since the reorganization, although I'm glad my son is now doing his homework with a sharpened pencil instead of a half-chewed crayon. @media (min-width: 768px) { .vertical-image-wrapper { display: flex; justify-content: center; } .vertical-image-wrapper .vertical-image { width: min(calc(80vh * var(--img-w) / var(--img-h)), 100%); min-width: 0; } } There's something about a perfectly arranged space that can make it feel slightly museum-like — too ordered to disturb. Bolton would likely point out that this is the Instagram-aesthetic trap in miniature: organizing for appearance rather than function. The goal, she always says, isn't the "after" picture; it's a more functional space. I may need to be the one to crack open the watercolors first and give the kids permission to make a beautiful mess. The value question In the end, I spent $1,000 for Bolton's time and a modest additional sum on storage bins and hooks. Bolton was largely able to work with what we already had, so the out-of-pocket spend beyond her fee was minimal. More importantly, having an external person present forced me to make decisions in real time rather than defer them. The "keep, donate, nostalgia, toss" framework cut through months of my own avoidance in a single morning. That alone felt worth the price. Bolton charges by the hour rather than by project, as she's found it's the fairest way to handle jobs that tend to grow once families realize how much they've been holding onto. In the end, hiring a professional organizer forced me to deal with my clutter. Amy Lombard for BI At $100 an hour for the Westchester/NYC metro area, I think it's a reasonable expense for what amounts to a combination of physical labor, editorial judgment, and — when a particularly beloved but structurally compromised stuffed animal enters the picture — low-grade therapy. I know our home will never be perfect, and that mess can be excellent evidence of a happy childhood in progress. What Bolton gave us isn't a pristine playroom, but a system that can absorb the frenzy without completely surrendering to it. We're likely moving next year, and when we do, I'll hire Bolton again to clear out the kids' rooms and establish systems in the new space before total chaos has a chance to take root. Until then, I'll be sitting on my bench. Read the original article on Business Insider

Palantir CEO Alex Karp discussed Germany's reluctance to use Palantir's products in an interview with BILD. Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP via Getty Images Alex Karp expressed surprise at the German military's stance on Palantir in an interview with BILD. The head of Germany's cyber forces has said it is "simply inconceivable" ⁠to grant Palantir staff national database access. The Palantir CEO also made the case for Ukrainian defense technologies. BERLIN — His company is considered the technological backbone of some of the world's most powerful militaries. Alex Karp, CEO of the American data analytics firm Palantir, supplies software to the United States, Israel and Ukraine, among others. Yet Germany's Bundeswehr, its military, does not want to integrate his products. Is this German skepticism justified? And can Germany's military buildup succeed without his battle-tested products? In an interview with BILD — which like Business Insider belongs to the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network — Palantir CEO Alex Karp expressed surprise at the Bundeswehr's stance and made the case for Ukrainian defense technologies. Following a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Minister Mykhailo Fedorov in Kyiv, Karp praised Ukraine, saying : "They deserve a lot of credit for building one of the most important military defense systems in the world." He does not share the pessimism of many Western observers: "Every person we dealt with believes they're going to win the war. They're very optimistic." Karp is proud that his company is contributing to Ukraine's defense. He described his products "as an operating system for war," so "the same way you'd have an operating system for a company or anything or even a car, they have it for the modern battlefield." "Currently there are very few people in the world who could do this," he said in the interview. Ukraine, he said, manages the battlefield "the way a tech company would manage its clientele." Only the key questions are different: "How many Russian people die per square kilometer? And why and how and what are the payloads and what worked and what didn't?" Karp said that other European countries should make use of this expertise by purchasing proven Ukrainian technologies. "What products is Europe gonna buy to defend itself? Is it going to buy PowerPoint tested products?" he said. "Or are they gonna buy the products that are single-handedly stopping a great military power?" The battlefield, he emphasized, is the ultimate testing ground. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shakes hands with Palantir CEO Alex Karp Ukrainian Presidency/Anadolu via Getty Images "One of the best ways to figure out what works and what doesn't is to see: Does it work on the battlefield? " he said. "You know, if you take a PowerPoint from us and a PowerPoint from an obviously fraudulent company, you may be able to tell a difference if you're highly technical, but by and large you really can't. You have to see, does it work or not? And the most unforgiving place in the world is the battlefield." That is why he hopes "that Europeans are open to Ukrainian-produced products." Karp said Palantir itself has no access to Ukrainian data, even though the military uses parts of its software. "When they're doing air defense or targeting, almost all the code is written by them, controlled by them. We have no access." he said. "In that sense, in my view, there's no sovereignty issue. I couldn't tell you what they're doing, how they're going, and I can't stop them from doing it. That's controlled by them." Karp, who studied in Germany and speaks fluent German, takes a critical view of the German military's rejection. "Every serious battlefield in the world uses parts of Palantir. There's a reason for that," he said. At the same time, he expressed understanding that Germany and other major countries want "autonomous systems — and they should have autonomous systems. The head of Germany's Bundeswehr's cyber forces, Vice Admiral Thomas Daum, told the German newspaper Handelsblatt in April on the topic of Palantir: "As much as we are interested in the functionality for our own database, it is simply inconceivable at the ‌moment ⁠to grant industry staff access to the national database." Reached for comment, a spokesperson for Germany's Ministry of Defense said that the statements made by Daum "speak for themselves." Vice Admiral Thomas Daum, Chief of Cyber and Information Domain Service, on September 04, 2025, in Warnemuende, Germany. Thomas Imo/Photothek via Getty Images Still, Karp is puzzled by German skepticism — especially given that his cofounder, Peter Thiel, was born in Germany. "Peter and I are the most prominent Germanic and/or German-speaking business people in the world by far, and every other country would have found a way to adopt us." "If we were French, the French would wholesale force us to have French passports and only speak French and change our name to Falantir," Karp added. "I don't understand how Germany believes it can afford this, and I would say at a general societal level, a lot of the discussions sound like they're talking about witchcraft. "By the way," he added. "How would Germany have ever sold any of its products post-World War II, if that was the way it has thought about things?" Palantir's 22-point summary of Karp's book, "The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West," declared that "the postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone," and argued "the defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price." The Palantir CEO is also critical of the way Europe is spending its massive defense budget. "When I look at spending in Europe, I get really worried that there's too much going to be distributed by people who have no idea how to spend it," Karp said. "And that's going to create entrenched interests of people producing suboptimal, non-workable tech that are politically strong. And then it's really hard to take it out." In his view, this was precisely one of Ukraine's key advantages: "And one of the big advantages Ukraine has: They had nothing."
