Today on the show, Anthropic has taught Claude how to dream, so overnight it can improve itself.

0:06.0

Red Access, a security research firm just published a report that thousands of apps built on lovable Replable Replit and Base 44 are leaking medical and corporate data right now.

0:15.0

And Google has quietly killed Project Mariner just two weeks before Google I.O. Anthropic is on an absolute

0:22.4

tear with cloud compute deals, doing one with Google Cloud, and also with SpaceX for 300 megawatts,

0:29.6

with a possible future deal where they'll be paying SpaceX to put orbital data centers into

0:33.9

space. Let's get into some of the Google Stories first with Google I.O. Just around the

0:38.6

corner, they are making a bunch of changes, and it feels like they ship things and aren't really

0:42.8

making huge announcements, but they have some big, some big impact. So Google Mariner, which is

0:47.8

the basically agenic browser, it was kind of like a clawed coworker, right? It was supposed to

0:52.9

take control of your browser and click and fill out forms and book travel for you, blah, blah, kind of like a Claude co-worker, right? It was supposed to take control of your browser and click and fill out forms and book travel

0:56.2

for you, blah, blah, blah, kind of everything that Claude cowork is doing.

1:00.0

Google has shut it down.

1:01.7

There wasn't like a big announcement about it, but all of the tech that was in Project

1:05.6

Mariners getting folded into the Gemini agent and kind of the whole agent assistant ecosystem. What I think is actually

1:12.6

happening here is that Mariner basically didn't make unit economics sense. The browser agent

1:19.4

that can take, you know, it's taking screenshots and it's visually parsing the DOM. They're very

1:23.5

slow. They're very expensive. And command line agents like Codex and Claude Codeode have basically, they basically do the exact same thing, but it's a way lower cost. And so I think Google saw that and they kind of made this call. Now, what's interesting is that Claude Co-work and presumably what some of the things that Codex does, they do a lot of the same thing. So when I use Claude Co-work, you know, sometimes I'll

1:46.2

say, hey, go over to, you know, go over to like audacity, my audio editor, take control of my screen

1:52.7

and do this, you know, this chain of fixes on the audio, and it will go and literally click

1:58.5

through. And in order to do that, it's got to take screenshots,

2:05.5

it's got to make adjustments, and it can do some pretty incredible stuff. What I will say is there was a recent report that came out and it said that doing that, which is called computer use,

2:09.0

is about 85 times as compute intensive as doing something through just directly through
