FSD Supervised isn’t limited to select highways or specific conditions – it works wherever it’s available It can handle your daily commute or drive you across the country



Anthropic just casually dropped iMessage support for Claude Code like it's a minor patch note. You can literally text your AI coder from your iPhone now. Send it a task, it builds on your Mac, texts you back when it's done. Blue bubbles and everything. They've shipped Channels, Dispatch, Projects, Computer Use, Auto Mode, and now iMessage - all in one week. And they announce each one like it's nothing. @AnthropicAI is on another level right now.




You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks. When computer use is needed, Claude sees the app by taking screenshots and acts through macOS Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions, which let it click, scroll, type, and use shortcuts much like a remote human assistant would. So the system is usually running a loop of look at screen, decide next step, move cursor or type, check result, retry if needed, which is why it can handle desktop apps but is still slower and more error-prone than a proper connector or API. Users can now message Claude a task from a phone, and the AI agent will then complete that task, Anthropic announced Monday. The phone is mainly just where you send the instruction, like “export my slide deck as a PDF and attach it to the meeting.” Then your Mac running Claude Desktop receives that instruction, and the actual work happens there, on your real computer, inside your real apps. The big catch is that this runs on your actual desktop, outside Cowork’s usual isolated VM, so Anthropic requires per-app approval, warns about prompt injection, and says not to use it for finance, health, legal, or other sensitive apps. The feature, launched today as a research preview, is available inside Claude Cowork and Claude Code on macOS, and marks a decisive shift from Claude as a conversational assistant to Claude as a fully autonomous digital worker.

You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks. It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk. Research preview in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, macOS only.


Windows is the only: 1. Mainstream OS that is *paid* (Linux: free; Mac: free as part of buying an Apple device) 2. OS that doesn't allow use without creating a Microsoft account Kind of ridiculous, especially in light of #1. A big turn-off for me. Microsoft SHOULD remove it

BREAKING: Microsoft could drop the requirement for a Microsoft account to use Windows 11. This move is being explored internally as part of the company’s efforts to win back Windows 11 users. A future Windows 11 update will also make the OOBE (out-of-box-experience) UX "quieter and more streamlined," with fewer pages and reboots, so getting started is simpler. Microsoft has committed to faster OS performance, a reduced memory footprint, a faster File Explorer, fewer web-based UI elements in the OS, and even the ability to pause updates for as long as you want. Microsoft is also scaling back Copilot in Windows 11, and it will only add AI to places and apps where it adds real value.





Companies go through phases of exploration and phases of refocus; both are critical. But when new bets start to work, like we're seeing now with Codex, it's very important to double down on them and avoid distractions. Really glad we're seizing this moment.
