Anthropic adds new tool that turns Claude into an AI app builder for everyone
This new update takes Claude's earlier Artifacts feature to a new level. Before, you could write and edit code with Claude in a side panel. Now, you can actually build and run full apps within that space. That means you can see your app live, adjust it, and send it to friends all from the same chat.
It's very simple, all you need to do is just describe the app you want to build. Claude then writes the code, helps you tweak it, and explains how everything works. When you are happy with the result, you can share it with others through a link.
There is no need to manage hosting or worry about others using up your subscription. If someone opens your app, their usage will count on their Claude account. This makes it easy to share your ideas widely without paying extra.
You can also make your apps look clean and professional. The system supports React, which is a popular tool for building user interfaces. You can upload files, make edits, and preview changes as you go. Just keep in mind that the feature still has a few limits. For now, it does not connect to external services and your app data is not saved once you close it.
This new ability is part of a beta rollout, and it is available to all Claude users, including those on the free tier. That means anyone curious about app building or AI can jump in and start experimenting today.
Anthropic is turning AI into a playground for ideas. With this update, Claude becomes not just a chat assistant but a creative tool you can build with.

AI To Create Mad Max-Like Future? Top Economist's Chilling Prediction
MIT economist David Autor has warned that rapid automation caused by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to a Mad Max scenario where jobs may still exist, but the skills that once generated wages would become less valuable, making the paychecks smaller and existence difficult. "The more likely scenario to me looks much more like Mad Max: Fury Road, where everybody is competing over a few remaining resources that aren't controlled by some warlord somewhere," Mr Autor said on the Possible podcast, hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reed Hoffman. The reference by Mr Autor is from the 2015 movie by George Miller, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where scarcity and inequality prevail while a tyrant rules over the hapless population. Mr Autor believes that AI could concentrate the wealth in the hands of people at the top while the workers fight for morsels. "The threat that rapid automation poses - to the degree it poses as a threat - is not running out of work, but making the valuable skills that people have highly abundant so they're no longer valuable," he said, adding that roles like typists, factory technicians, and even taxi driver might be replaced. AI to take away jobs Mr Autor is not the only one warning about a dystopian AI future. In May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could soon wipe out 50 per cent of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years. He added that governments across the world were downplaying the threat when AI's rising use could lead to a significant spike in unemployment numbers. "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming. I don't think this is on people's radar," said Mr Amodei. According to the Anthropic boss, unemployment could increase by 10 per cent to 20 per cent over the next five years, with most of the people 'unaware' about what was coming. "Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen. It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it," he said. "It's a very strange set of dynamics where we're saying: 'You should be worried about where the technology we're building is going.'"

Anthropic Destroyed Millions Of Books To Train Its AI Models: Report
Artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic is alleged to have destroyed millions of print books to build Claude, an AI assistant similar to the likes of ChatGPT, Grok and Llama. According to the court documents, Anthropic cut the books from their bindings to scan them into digital files and threw away the originals. Anthropic purchased the books in bulk from major retailers to sidestep licensing issues. Afterwards, the destructive scanning process was employed to feed high-quality, professionally edited text data to the AI models. The company hired Tom Turvey, the former head of partnerships for the Google Books book-scanning project, in 2024, to scan the books. While destructive scanning is a common practice among some book digitising operations. Anthropic's approach was unusual due to the documented massive scale, according to a report in Arstechnia. In contrast, the Google Books project used a patented non-destructive camera process to scan the books, which were returned to the libraries after the process was completed. Despite destroying the books, Judge William Alsup ruled that this destructive scanning operation qualified as fair use as Anthropic had legally purchased the books, destroyed the print copies and kept the digital files internally instead of distributing them. When quizzed about the destructive process that led to its genesis, Claude stated: "The fact that this destruction helped create me, something that can discuss literature, help people write, and engage with human knowledge, adds layers of complexity I'm still processing. It's like being built from a library's ashes." Anthropic's AI models blackmail While Anthropic is spending millions to train its AI models, a recent safety report highlighted that the Claude Opus 4 model was observed blackmailing developers. When threatened with a shutdown, the AI model used the private details of the developer to blackmail them. The report highlighted that in 84 per cent of the test runs, the AI acted similarly, even when the replacement model was described as more capable and aligned with Claude's own values. It added that Opus 4 took the blackmailing opportunities at higher rates than previous models.

Sam Altman signals a shift in jobs: These traditional roles may soon disappear
With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), the job landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Across global markets, roles that once felt essential are becoming obsolete, while entirely new ones are emerging. In a recent blog post, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared, 'We are past the event horizon; the take-off has started.' With this statement, Altman signalled that the age of intelligent machines is here, and with it, a sweeping redefinition of work. AI's impact isn't limited to a single industry. Its ability to manage large volumes of predictable tasks means that sectors across the board, from logistics to law, will be affected. History shows that new technologies tend to displace some jobs while creating others. AI is no exception. Among the emerging roles are prompt engineers, who specialise in crafting effective inputs for AI systems, and data curation leads, who oversee the quality of training data. New job titles like model-bias auditors—professionals ensuring AI systems operate without harmful biases—and AI ops technicians, who maintain AI infrastructure, are quickly gaining relevance. Creative industries, too, are evolving, with synthetic media designers using AI to co-create content in formats never imagined before. There are also roles such as model-bias auditors, professionals who ensure AI models operate fairly and without inherent biases. Also, AI ops technicians, specialists who manage and maintain AI operational systems, and synthetic-media designers, creatives who collaborate with AI to generate new forms of media. AI can also act as a powerful catalyst for existing roles, such as copywriters, who can save time by using artificial intelligence to create drafts of large language models (LLMs) ten times faster. The freeing of time could help them do more human-centric jobs like interviews, narrative development or even voice modulation. On the other hand, entry-level roles and blue-collar workers are at risk of losing their jobs. This would include basic tasks such as Python debugging, junior paralegal research, entry-level marketing copy creation, customer-support macros, invoice reconciliation, and first-pass news summaries. Companies with massive logistic demand are already using AI to direct pallet robots. Similarly, human translators are seeing their work being replaced by lightning-fast subtitling engines. And Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei even estimates that half of today's entry-level office posts could vanish within five years. Studies such as the MIT-Stanford field study involving GPT-powered assistants for customer-support agents have shown significant productivity gains – a 14 per cent overall jump in ticket resolution per hour and a remarkable 34 per cent increase for less experienced representatives. Goldman Sachs predicts a 7 per cent lift in global GDP by the decade's end, fuelled by these productivity gains. How should one brace for impact? As AI is gradually taking over industries, experts are of the opinion that workers should also focus on upskilling and working towards getting better at what they do. Mastering AI tools can transform a likely threat into opportunity. Lastly, focusing on the interpersonal abilities, such as classroom teaching to sales reports, thus creating a barrier between algorithms, still finds it difficult to crack. History indicates that society adjusts and finds new employment, even though the transition phase may be difficult. AI will change the nature of work, much like the printing press replaced scribes and steam looms affected weavers. Even if the AI revolution is happening more quickly and worldwide, the end result is always the same: people will always be better at things that robots can't. People who accept AI and learn to collaborate with these potent algorithms will be well-positioned to prosper in this new era.
