134: Anthropic is Having a Week

This week’s episode is all about Anthropic. First up, Anthropic unveiled Claude Remote Control, which will let users continue a Claude session back on their personal machine from a phone, tablet via the Claude mobile app. Watch out OpenClaw.

Anthropic continued making news by refusing to bow to the Department of War’s request for “unrestricted use” of its AI for military purposes, including domestic surveillance and fully-autonomous weapons. We’ll let you know if those defense contracts get revoked or not.

On a lighter note, a developer at Cloudflare rebuilt Next.js with AI as a drop-in replacement using Vite... in one week. That’s right! $1,100 worth of tokens, access to Next’s docs and test suite, and Claude Code, and Bob’s your uncle!
