An artificial intelligence researcher who quit AI firm Anthropic has said people working on the technology were "genuinely frightened" about the speed of its advancements and what it could mean for humanity. The 27-year-old's former boss, Anthropic head Dario Amodei, recently called for AI development to slow down – though some have questioned the motivations behind this.

Earlier this month, Anthropic announced that future versions of Claude will generate text that includes watermarks showing it was AI-generated. At the time, Anthropic did not explain how this would work, leaving us to speculate on the podcast: Would it somehow encode this into the text? Include invisible characters? Do something with the metadata? We now know, thanks to a blog post over the weekend, that Anthropic will do this by changing how its AI writes altogether.

Anthropic accidentally exposed internal source code for its Claude Code AI coding tool after a debug file was mistakenly included in a public npm package update, Axios reported. The leak exposed roughly 500,000 lines of code across approximately 1,900 files, according to Fortune.

OpenAI plans to combine its ChatGPT app, Codex coding platform, and Atlas browser into a single desktop “superapp,” according to The Wall Street Journal, as the company moves to streamline resources and respond to competition from rival Anthropic.

Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence models had “elevated errors” on Monday, as the app held its spot as the most popular free app on Apple ’s App Store. On Friday, President Donald Trump ordered every U.S. government agency to “immediately cease” using Anthropic’s technology. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on X shortly after that the Pentagon would be labeling the company a “supply-chain risk to national security.”

Figma is partnering with Anthropic and launching a feature called “Code to Canvas” that converts code generated in artificial intelligence tools like Claude Code into fully editable designs inside Figma. The move reflects a broader bet that agentic coding tools like Claude Code haven’t eliminated the need for design, and made it more essential. But the risk is that Figma is building a better on-ramp to a highway it no longer controls.
