We just released Claude Code channels, which allows you to control your Claude Code session through select MCPs, starting with Telegram and Discord. Use this to message Claude Code directly from your phone.

Apple has quietly halted App Store updates for popular AI "vibe-coding" applications most notably the $9 billion startup Replit and mobile app builder Vibecode. After months of pushback, Apple is reportedly demanding major UX changes. Replit is being asked to force its generated app previews to open in an external web browser rather than natively inside its app. Vibecode was told it must completely remove the ability to generate software specifically for Apple devices.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

During the iteration process, we also realized that the model's ability to recursively evolve its harness is equally critical. Our internal harness autonomously collects feedback, builds evaluation sets for internal tasks, and based on this continuously iterates on its own architecture, skills/MCP implementation, and memory mechanisms to complete tasks better and more efficiently.

point 3 is the one that should terrify every founder and VC reading this, the Gulf states were quietly becoming the biggest non-US source of tech capital on earth, Abu Dhabi & Saudi sovereign wealth were pouring billions into AI chips and infrastructure, this war just gave them every reason to pivot that capital toward China which was already rolling out the red carpet, so the west just simultaneously destroyed its energy supply chain AND its emerging capital pipeline in a single strategic move, I wrote about this exact dynamic tonight in a thread on the talent and capital migration east, the funding crash and the brain drain are the same phenomenon seen from 2 different angles point 5 is where it gets really interesting though, China controls roughly 80% of global solar panel manufacturing, dominates battery supply chains through CATL and BYD, is building nuclear plants at 10 per year & now has C2C and power to X at scale, so the country that the west tried to contain through chip sanctions is about to become the only entity capable of solving the energy crisis that this war just created, the strategic irony is almost poetic bc the west just made itself more dependent on China in the exact moment it was trying to decouple
