Introducing Code on Canvas in @pencildev
AI design tool for Claude and Codex.
Design ❤️ Code are officially in a relationship, opening new ways to create on canvas.

Ask agent to generate custom design tools inside Pencil on the fly, create interactive components, generative art and more, but still keep the full manual design control.

This is just the beginning. Let us know what you think. And let's take it to the next level together.

Download the new Pencil update today.

🚨 Anthropic just dropped 12 FREE AI courses that make most “AI degrees” look outdated.

They quietly dropped these courses that teach you how to actually build with Claude in 2026:

• Make real API calls and ship tool-using agents
• Build and deploy full RAG pipelines
• Connect models to live tools and data with MCP
• Spin up production-grade MCP servers with logs + scaling
• Run Claude inside Amazon Bedrock and Google Vertex AI
• Automate dev work from the CLI with Claude Code
• Integrate GitHub, workflows, prompt scoring, multi-turn agents

This is the stack serious builders are learning while everyone else is still arguing about prompts.

If you’re not learning agent workflows and Model Context Protocol this year, you’re already behind.

Iranians post videos explaining the civilian casualty of Israel’s “targeted” attacks. Video explains: A nuclear scientist lived in this apartment building with his family. All the units around them have also been hit. 20 dead bodies were retrieved from here. 40 cars were destroyed on the street. And the strike even impacted nearby buildings.

This is not just a war on nuclear targets, it’s also a war on civilians.

New investigation: We found Google routinely put its own products before competitors on the search page. In a sample of 15,000 queries, Google content took up 41 percent of the first page and 63 percent of the first screen of search results. https://t.co/pkjRuFyfIt

Final update.

We had to change the scale again.

Congratulations on making it through today's tech antitrust hearing.

Excited to be working with @TheKaranMenon to shed light on some of the absurd policies and practices underpinning the lack of #policeaccountability in the US. Our first video focuses on absolute immunity for prosecutors (link in bio if you want to learn more):

What if, when faced with a difficult conversation, rather than getting carried away by the CONTENT of the conversation, you have the META-CONVERSATION instead?
