Let's talk about what's going on with Anthropic.

So the biggest thing that I think is happening is, first of all, just this huge acquisition.

And I think the reason why this is important is Anthropic is getting deeper and deeper into this kind of computer use area.

Personally, I use it pretty extensively for their Google Chrome extension, which is basically like ChatGPT Agents, except it sits on the side of Chrome and so I can open to a tab

And I can just tell it like, hey, go to this tab and relabel all of the items inside of this spreadsheet here doing X, Y, Z. Or I recently was like trying to format something.

I'm not a developer in any case, but I was trying to work on a project I was doing with Lovable and Lovable was unable to like set up the back end in Google Cloud for something I needed to do.

And it was like giving me instructions like I was developer.

I was like, great.

So I open up Google Cloud, make an account.

And then I just go to Claude, the Chrome extension, and I'm like, hey, here's the instructions.

Please go do these things.

And it's like clicking around inside of Google Cloud and setting stuff up for me.

I'm sure for developers, this would be terrifying for them, but I was able to get what I was trying to get done, which is basically allowing my vibe code tool that I'm just, it's a personal tool I built for myself called podcaststudio.com.

It helps me with all my podcast publishing and editing, and it allows me to publish two-hour-long podcasts now.

Anyways, I was adding that capability.

I wasn't able to do it.

I don't really know all the technical reasons why, but you needed to beef up our backend.

I was able to get Claude Code to do this.

So obviously this is a very powerful tool, but it's not perfect.

And I think Claude and Anthropic really are trying to put a big push, and that's why they're going and acquired Vercept.
