Anthropic CISO just told you that 90% of their code is written by Claude.
Then he explained how they protect their own secrets while doing it.

That ugly green halo around hair every time someone gets cut out of a green screen is a 30-year-old math problem that traditional keyers can't solve, and a YouTube studio in LA just open-sourced the fix.
Edges are hard for one reason. A pixel at the boundary of your subject covers maybe 30% skin and 70% green screen. The camera averages them: recorded RGB is literally 0.3 * skin + 0.7 * green. Same physics for motion blur, out-of-focus hair, glass, smoke, fabric. Every translucent pixel is a mix of subject light and background light.
Primatte, Keylight, Ultimatte (the workhorse keyers behind basically every Hollywood green screen shot since the 90s) estimate which pixels to keep with a binary mask. Modern "AI roto" tools do the same thing with neural networks predicting the mask. Both throw away the mixed pixel. That's why every cutout you've ever seen has either harsh edges or a green tint in the hair.
CorridorKey predicts the actual unmixed foreground RGB plus a linear alpha for every pixel. Given observed pixel = alpha * foreground + (1 - alpha) * background, the network solves for foreground and alpha directly. That's what Porter-Duff compositing math has wanted since 1984. The industry has been duct-taping around the missing solver with manual roto for forty years.
Outputs are 16/32-bit EXR. Plugs into Nuke, Fusion, and DaVinci Resolve via community ports that appeared within weeks of release. Trained on synthetic rendered data, so dataset cost is essentially zero. Niko Pueringer (one of the two Corridor founders) wrote it. This is the level of tool top VFX shops typically keep proprietary. Corridor put it on GitHub.
The gating constraint flipped from algorithm to VRAM. Inference at 2048x2048 needs about 23GB. That's a $2K consumer GPU. A shot that takes a roto artist a full day now runs in under a second on the same hardware kids use to play Cyberpunk.

Green screen keying, solved at the pixel level. Corridor's neural keyer unmixes edges into true foreground color and linear alpha, EXR out.

Space jellyfish alert!
Starlink 17-36 from SLC-4E in California on April 29, 2026 at 7:42:49 PM PDT could produce a space jellyfish. This occurs when a rocket and its expanding exhaust plumes are illuminated by the sun and observers are in local darkness.
The rocket will enter sunlight 00m00s after launch.

Newsmax is having a party over the rapid implosion of a California Democrat, but look how UNCOMFORTABLE they are about believing women.
And when I said that NOBODY who is liable for sexual assault should hold high office - like Donald J. Trump, for example - they completely skirted over the topic.
This is the Republican Party today in a nutshell.
If there's a bad Democratic politician like Eric Swalwell, they celebrate.
But, like most Democrats caught in major wrongdoing, Eric Swalwell ended his campaign and resigned his position.
Why does that happen? Well, for starters, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) issued a statement demanding that Swalwell end his campaign for California Governor.
In other words, in-party pressure from another Democrat convinced him to leave politics.
Contrast that with Rep. Corey Mills (R-FL), who is an arms dealer sitting on a House committee that oversees arms sales.
I call for Rep. Mills to leave Congress at the end of this segment, over the recent domestic violence incident in Washington, DC, that would've spelled sure political doom had any Democrat done the same.
Can you guess why Corey Mills is still a member of the House Republican caucus?
Donald Trump installed Jan. 6th denier Ed Martin as acting US Attorney for DC early in his term. (Everything is federal in DC.)
When Mills was reported to the authorities, Martin ended the investigation. Considering the House Republicans' thin grip on power, it's pretty evident they need his vote.
And that's how a sitting member of Congress can commit a crime that would get ANYONE else at least put on trial, but in his case, IT'S NOT EVEN BEING INVESTIGATED BY A REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
Democrats won't let someone we know to be horrific keep serving just because we can get a little political gain out of it.
Republicans elevate the men who do the worst things to women to the highest positions in the government or keep them around despite their political careers aging like milk.
Any questions?

Despite fighting malfunctioning equipment, I captured one of my most surreal videos ever.
That’s the moon crossing in front of the sun. You can see mountains on the lunar limb as it transits the chromosphere.
Captured using a specially modified telescope from Utah in 2023.

Daft Punk didn’t just score TRON: Legacy (2010), they spent two years crafting the music with a 85-piece orchestra. They wanted to blend electronic sounds with classical arrangements to give the Grid a "timeless" and epic operatic feel.

THIS PERSON USED CLAUDE CODE TO RECOVER 20 YEARS OF LOST DATA
after losing files on crashed drives for 2 decades, she bought a 16TB NAS (home server for storing files)
loaded claude code onto it and pointed it at 5 corrupted hard drives
claude actually reviewed the files, and there were hundreds of thousands of loose unfoldered files scattered across dead drives
then it reconstructed the original folder structures by inference. figured out what went where just by reading the contents
consolidated everything into one clean master library with built in backup
she said it herself, "i couldn't pay a human being to do this amount of work"
20 years of lost photos, videos, documents, and projects
rebuilt in one run
data recovery companies charge $5000+ for this and still miss half of it when Claude Code can do it in an hour
