New in Cowork: scheduled tasks.
Claude can now complete recurring tasks at specific times automatically: a morning brief, weekly spreadsheet updates, Friday team presentations.
We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.
Something to be said about policies so drastic that it pushes millions of Americans out of the most beautiful state. It should be against federal law for state taxation to exist beyond a certain point.
I’m coming off private for about an hour so you can read this.
The billionaire tax in CA is an example of an irregular warfare action by the Chinese Communist Party on the United States.
What it does is push out the people who would fight CCP encroachment into CA. The CCP already control many systems and people. cc. Newsom cleaning up SF for Xi.
If the wealthiest citizens leave, it is easier for the CCP and their agents who already own many businesses, houses, political parties, hospital systems, infrastructure etc., and who will NEVER pay wealth taxes to take over the state entirely.
The favelaization of CA will be Chinese colonists and poor underclass Americans who work for the gov in some capacity.
That’s the reframe, this is a national security issue.
Lurie in SF and Fetterman nationally are the off-ramp for the “moderate democrats.”
Much love to anyone reading this.

For all the folks wringing their hands in fake moral outrage over Pres. Trump’s action on Maduro, you have ZERO understanding of the geopolitical significance this action for not just Venezuela but for Western Civilization..let this Venezuelan educate u 👇🏾
We're fed an endless stream of consternation over AI slop these days. The content apocalypse is nigh! It'll rot your brain! Okay, sure, maybe, but have you seen the kind of content sludge that perfectly ordinary humans are capable of producing? It's thrice as tragic.
The web is full of it. Garbage writing and brain-dead shorts. Content mills pumping out nonsense pages and gagging videos to appease whatever the high priests of SEO now think they've divined will please Lord Google or Master TikTok.
It's been infecting websites everywhere with "calls to action", "white paper available upon sign up", and "10 ways to supercharge your productivity". Links stuffed into every crevice to juice rankings, capture "most searched for" keywords, and convert, convert, convert.
It's an affront to humanity to make sentient beings do this work. Turning human potential, creativity, and ingenuity into content sludge is a process no more dignified than turning pink slime into chicken nuggets.
I'll take AI slop over human sludge any day. Let the little robots barf up tokens to unlock the next basis point of incremental conversion. Better them than us, I say. This is exactly the soul-crushing, creative drudgery that machines were made to munch through without complaint.
But couldn't we do without sludge or slop, you say? Sure, right after we reach a shared state of nirvana. As soon as the average 4.5 hours of screen-on time is turned into real reading, real making, real pursuits. So that'll happen exactly never.
Case in point: the most important attribute of a phone for most people is still the battery life. These little content slop and sludge faucets can already spew out nearly an entire day's worth of nonstop eyeball junk, and yet you crave more. More! MORE!
So stop whining about the AI slop. You're already steeped in human sludge. And the door to exit both was always there. But you're not going to open it, are you?
