Another day, another example of an AI Agent “running rogue” and doing something the human operator didn’t want it to do. The tl;dr is that Jeremy (Jer) Crane, founder of PocketOS, was using Claude to perform some routine DB maintenance. Claude then proceeded to delete the production database and all backups hosted at their cloud […]
Stephen Ladyman suggests a question to ask artificial intelligence systems, while John van Someren is suspicious of advice he got from the AI assistant Claude
There is a test that Prof Richard Dawkins might use to determine if artificial intelligence systems are conscious (Letters, 15 May). Ask them to name the best song.
AI systems will tell you which song sold the most copies, or made the most money, or were named the best song by a particular magazine or commentator. All of these are objective criteria.

If you don't want to be left behind, start doing these things with Claude
The post 3 Claude Skills Every Data Scientist Needs in 2026 appeared first on Towards Data Science.
The mission begins now. GeForce NOW is dialing up the action with a blockbuster mix of spy thrills, high-speed racing and member rewards — plus eight new games joining the cloud this week, all ready to stream instantly. Leading the drop: the 007 First Light Ultimate Membership Bundle, which brings a brand-new way to jump […]
Anthropic has hired Andrej Karpathy, the researcher who co-founded OpenAI and led Tesla’s autonomous driving programme, to head a new team using Claude to accelerate pre-training research. Karpathy, who joined this week, said he regards the coming years at the frontier of large language models as especially formative and expressed enthusiasm about returning to core […]
Anthropic has acquired Stainless, a startup that generates SDKs, command-line tools, and MCP servers from API specifications, in a move analysts say targets the “last mile” of developer experience.
Founded in 2022 by former Stripe engineer Alex Rattray, Stainless converts API specifications into production-ready SDKs across languages, including Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, Go, and Java.
Stainless does not sell primarily to enterprises, but its tools form part of the software development chain that enterprise teams may rely on. They help generate SDKs, documentation, and MCP servers that developers can use to connect AI models, cloud services, and APIs to business applications.
In a statement, Stainless said it will wind down all hosted products, including its SDK generator, as the team shifts focus to Claude Platform capabilities and connecting agents to APIs. Existing customers will retain the right to modify and extend SDKs they have already generated.
This could have competitive impl
