Summary: Anthropic dropped the Visualizer for Claude today and I've spent all morning playing with it. The short version: you can now get Claude to create interactive charts, explainers and data visualisations directly in your conversation. The trick nobody's telling you is that you need to say "show me" to trigger it. I tested it on everything from compound interest explainers to debunking that nonsense going around TikTok about AI using more water than video streaming (spoiler: TikTok uses about 60 times more water per hour than ChatGPT, and that's being generous). You can even publish your visualisations as shareable artifacts, which is genuinely useful if you need to send something to a colleague or client without making them sign up for anything.
The real story though is what this means practically. I used it this morning with my business partner to analyse our welcome email sequences, pulled in sales data across four different variants, and had Claude turn the whole thing into a visual report and then a slide deck. That process would have eaten an entire day six months ago. If you're running any kind of agency or reporting workflow, this is worth your attention. It's not going to destroy industries overnight, despite what some people are breathlessly claiming, but it's a proper useful addition to the toolkit. Available on all plans including free, which is a nice touch.

Summary: Finally did it. I've been putting off this Claude Code explainer for weeks, partly because simplifying a genuinely complex topic is tricky, and partly because I was just a bit intimidated by it. But here we are. This is a proper beginner's guide to getting started with Claude Code if you're not a developer, have never touched a terminal, and have no idea what a GitHub repo is. We cover the three main ways to access Claude Code (web, desktop app, and IDE), why the desktop app is the one to go for, and how to connect it to GitHub without losing your mind.
The bigger point here isn't really about the tool itself. It's about what becomes possible when you stop assuming software is someone else's job. Claude Code lets you build small, genuinely useful things: personal micro-tools, scrapers, dashboards, automations. We built a (very rough) Space Invaders clone live, just to prove the point. I also walked through Gary Tan's GST Stack setup, which turns Claude Code into something resembling a full engineering team. It's early days for most people on this, and that's fine. Starting small is exactly the right move.

Summary: A lot of people have been making the jump from ChatGPT to Claude lately, for political reasons, for professional ones, or simply because they're tired of an AI that agrees with absolutely everything they say. The transition isn't as smooth as you'd hope though, and if you arrive expecting the same experience you had on ChatGPT, you're in for a few surprises — usage limits, no image generation, and a very different philosophy baked into the product.
In this one I walk through everything you actually need to know before making the switch: the model tiers and what you can realistically use on a $20 plan, how Projects and Memory work, the connectors, Skills, and where Claude Code and Cowork fit into the picture. Claude is built for professionals who want straight answers rather than flattery, and once you understand how it thinks, it's a genuinely better tool for serious work. It just takes a little getting used to.

Summary: We are at a genuinely interesting moment with AI — and most people are still sleeping on it. In this session I walk through Claude Cowork, what it actually is, why it's meaningfully different from chatting with an AI, and how I'm using it to automate tasks that would otherwise eat my day. We're talking TikTok reply bots, ad audits, scheduled workflows — all running in the background while I get on with other things.
This isn't about prompting AI anymore. It's about setting up systems once and letting them run. I cover the full Claude ecosystem, how skills work, what MCP connectors are, and the honest caveats too — cost, desktop-only limitations, token burn. If you've been curious about where AI is actually headed in 2026, this is a decent place to start.

Summary: Identified and restructured em dashes throughout SEO summary
I spent this session pulling back the curtain on the exact content workflow I use to run my business off the back of a 300,000-strong audience. The honest version: I do a one-hour live stream every day, record 15 short videos afterwards, push out a newsletter, and convert bits of it into blog articles. That sounds unhinged, and it probably is. But the point wasn't to make you copy me. It was to show you how a tiny team can operate like a full media company when you use AI to handle the repurposing rather than the creating.
The key thing I wanted to get across is that AI slop is already everywhere and people can smell it. LinkedIn is basically a skip fire at this point. The way to beat that is to keep yourself in the loop. Record your actual voice, your actual opinions, your actual hot takes, and then let AI tidy, reformat, and multiply that into newsletters, short-form scripts, and blog articles. Fifteen minutes of rambling into your phone can become 20+ pieces of content. Distribution is the game now, not building. This workflow is how you play it.

156: AI Update: Anthropic Pentagon Fallout, Google Workspace CLI & NotebookLM Goes Cinematic

Summary: Anthropic had quite the week. Kicked out of the Pentagon, labeled a "supply chain risk" (a designation usually reserved for Chinese state-linked companies), only for Dario Amodei to be back at the negotiating table days later. Sam Altman, meanwhile, swooped in suspiciously fast to fill the gap, which didn't go unnoticed. Over a million and a half people quietly migrated to Claude, pushing it to number one on the App Store for the first time in its life. The irony being, of course, that Anthropic are perfectly happy building lethal autonomous weapons. They just want Americans kept out of the blast radius.
On the quieter but arguably more interesting side of things, Google dropped a native command line interface for the entire Workspace ecosystem, which is the kind of boring plumbing update that builders absolutely lose their minds over, and rightly so. AI agents can now talk directly to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets and more without the usual browser automation nonsense. NotebookLM also got a cinematic video upgrade, turning static slideshows into full motion AI-generated explainers. It's been a dense week.

Summary: GPT dropped 5.3 today, marketed brilliantly as "more accurate, less cringe." That tells you everything about how badly 5.2 landed. Nobody liked it, it gaslit users into thinking they needed to calm down before asking about banana bread, and OpenAI know it. There's also a 5.4 reasoning model apparently dropping this week, though at this point it feels less like a product launch and more like a fire extinguisher. Cancellations are up 400% and people are migrating to Claude in droves.
The bigger conversation though is the one that actually matters: we've crossed a genuine threshold in AI. December 2025 was the quiet inflection point where agents stopped being a buzzword and started actually working. For three years, AI was something you talked to. Now it's something that does the work for you, handling coding, bookkeeping, the lot. Andrej Karpathy put it well: before December, coding agents basically didn't work. Since December, they basically do. That's not a gradual curve, that's a hard line. If you haven't started playing with agentic tools yet, now's a very good time to start paying attention.

Summary: Big week for AI drama. Anthropic found themselves declared a "supply chain risk" by the Pentagon after refusing to drop their red lines on autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance, and rather than rolling over, they've lawyered up and are challenging it in court. OpenAI, never ones to miss an opportunity, stepped in within days to take the contract, which went down about as well as you'd expect. ChatGPT uninstalls surged 300%, one-star reviews spiked 775% in a single day, and Claude hit number one in the US App Store. Suddenly everyone's heard of Anthropic.
The irony is that Anthropic's best ever week of growth came wrapped in an existential threat. All those new Claude users flooding in, including apparently Katie Perry, were met with overloaded servers and error messages, which is a painful way to make a first impression. Worth noting too: Anthropic aren't the pacifists some are making them out to be. They took a $200 million Pentagon contract, they're fine with autonomous weapons in principle, they just want guardrails. That nuance is getting lost in the noise, but it matters. Six months from now, whether Claude still exists in its current form is a genuinely open question.

First aired: 2 March 2026
Summary: The same AI model you're using to write emails and debug code was reportedly used by the US military to select bombing targets in Iran this weekend. Not a drill, not a hypothetical. And the detail that should genuinely make you pause is this: the government doesn't have a secret, more powerful version of Claude sitting in a classified bunker somewhere. Ethan Mollick made the point well. They're using the same model you get for $20 a month, probably an older version, because new models have to go through procurement before deployment. That's the actual state of AI in modern warfare right now.
What that means in practice is worth sitting with. When Claude is a little too agreeable, a little too confident, prone to the occasional hallucination, that's fine when you're polishing a draft or writing a proposal. When it's informing decisions about military targets, the stakes are rather different. The AI arms race isn't some distant future concern. It's already here, already running, and it's built on the exact same infrastructure the rest of us use every day.

Summary: Today was one of those days where the AI news actually matters. Anthropic and the US Department of Defense have been circling each other all week, and this morning Dario Amodei finally put out a statement telling the Pentagon to do one. The two red lines — autonomous weapons targeting and mass domestic surveillance — remain firmly in place, despite threats to blacklist Anthropic as a supply chain risk, invoke the Defense Production Act, and effectively destroy the company. It is, without question, the most consequential standoff between a government and an AI company we have ever seen, and I am genuinely baffled more people are not talking about it.
On top of that, Jack Dorsey cut 40% of Block's workforce, around 4,000 people, and was unusually honest about why: the company is profitable, growing, and simply does not need as many humans anymore. AI did that. We also got Google's Imagen 3 update with much better consistency across frames, and Anthropic, despite potentially ceasing to exist by Monday, somehow found the time to ship auto memory, remote MCP connections, and scheduled tasks in Cowork this week. Busy Friday.
