Appreciate you listening or watching as always.

And until next time, peace.

All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in.

First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, Zencoder, Landfall IP, Robots and Pencils, and Super Intelligent.

To get an ad-free version of the show, go to patreon.com slash aiDailyBrief, or you can subscribe at Apple Podcasts.

Ad-free is just $3 a month.

I really tried to price it in a way where anyone who really doesn't want to hear those ads can get it for less than the price of a cup of coffee at this point.

But if, on the other end of the spectrum, you are interested in sponsoring the show, send us a note at sponsors at aiDailyBrief.ai.

Lastly, before we dive in, another quick call to check out AIDBintel.com.

A little later this week, people who sign up are going to start finding out what this cool looking chart is.

I promise you, you won't want to miss it.

Again, that's AIDBintel.com.

With that out of the way, let's dive in.

Welcome back to the AI Daily Brief Headlines Edition, all the daily AI news you need in around five minutes.

The story of this January so far has been the slow but steady settling in of the notion of a shift in capabilities centered upon Opus 5, Cloud Code, and now more recently, Cloud Cowork.

Turns out the change is not just among the highly enfranchised AI users on X. The Wall Street Journal declared over the weekend that Claude is taking the AI world by storm, and even non-nerds are blown away.

The WSJ writes, they call it getting Claude-pilled.

It's the moment software engineers, executives, and investors turn their work over to Anthropix Cloud AI and then witness a thinking machine of shocking capability, even in an age awash in powerful AI tools.

The article noted the huge wave of positivity on social media, with many non-technical people using Cloud Code to develop their first piece of software without knowing the first thing about coding.

It also noted that Cloud Code is being deployed for a range of other use cases, including health data analysis and expense report compiling.
