In the last several weeks, Anthropic’s Cowork has captured considerable attention. And no wonder—Cowork has an alluring promise: that it can apply all the power of Anthropic’s coding agent, Claude Code, to nonprogramming tasks in a simple tool.
The reality is, like many freshly hired human co-workers, Anthropic’s tool has some potential—if you’re willing to invest the time.
When I spent a couple days with Cowork, I got it to complete a chore that has sat on my to-do lists for a decade and to automate a ta

Kamala Harris' social media strategy in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election was filled with Gen Z dog whistles: viral branding based on pop music, memes, camo hats that were a double entendre.

Our review of the new AirTag went up yesterday, and that involved testing the new Precision Finding feature on Apple Watches. In the process, I found the setup to be confusing and counterintuitive, and was relieved to discover it wasn’t just me. If, like me, you’ve been trying to set up Precision Finding on your Apple Watch for the AirTag you’ve just unboxed and attached to a precious belonging, here... Read more ›

VPNs have a mixed reputation, primarily because you can use the technology to hide your location and identity on the internet. Even the best VPNs can be used to conceal crimes and make the perpetrators harder to track. Fortunately, most of the world's governments (at least for now) recognize that VPNs are just technology that can be used for good or ill.That means VPNs are legal in almost every country...

JLab just released a gigantic pair of headphones that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. The Blue XL headphones are ridiculously oversized, making them headphones in name only. I don't even think Andre the Giant could've comfortably worn these suckers. Unless you have a mythically large head, these are basically "headphone speakers." The idea is to drape them around your neck and stream tunes for all to hear. Though you could... Read more ›

The Information
There are plenty of tech luminaries whose correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein has turned up in the files of the disgraced financier. But few of those exchanges are quite like those that Epstein had with Masha Bucher, who is now a well-known venture capitalist. On June 25, 2019, 11 days before Epstein was arrested and charged with sex trafficking of minors, he asked Bucher—who was then acting as a publicist for... Read more ›

The deal—which valued xAI at $250 billion and SpaceX at $1 trillion, according to people familiar with the situation—comes as xAI battles to catch up to rivals such as OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.

On Monday, our reporter Jemima McEvoy broke the news that venture capitalist Masha Bucher had deep ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Their correspondence, released in a dump of more than 3 million pages from the Justice Department Friday, showed Bucher—née Drokova, the name she was using at the time—working as a publicist for Epstein, setting flirty texts and getting advice for her early-stage fund, Day One Ventures. The... Read more ›

Welcome, Weekenders! Firstly, I want to tell you about an exciting addition to The Information’s Weekend section: reporter Eli Rosenberg, an alum of The New York Times, The Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle. He’ll cover tech wealth and culture—just as a slate of potential mega-IPOs from the likes of SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic means everyone in Silicon Valley will have even more money.

Amazon could use customized versions of OpenAI’s models to bolster Amazon... Read more ›

It’s CEO replacement time. Both Walt Disney Co. and PayPal named new chief executives on Tuesday, with each appointment symbolizing major business shifts. Disney named parks chief Josh D’Amaro to succeed longtime CEO Bob Iger, who turns 75 next week (D’Amaro is Iger’s second successor, after the first one flopped so badly Iger had to return to save the day.) Disney’s announcement was long expected. PayPal, in contrast, made a... Read more ›

When Stripe acquired crypto startup Bridge last year, it described stablecoins as financial services “superconductors.” Thanks to Bridge, Stripe has since integrated stablecoins into an array of products, such as stablecoin cards that allow customers to spend crypto anywhere. Using stablecoins for payments turns out to be harder than it looks. After Stripe launched one of its new Bridge cards in partnership with another crypto firm in January, scammers instantly...

Last fall, a plane took off from Ottawa, Ontario, with some unusual cargo: a collection of nonviable human embryos and eggs. Once the aircraft reached a high altitude, the pilot made arcs in the air, creating short intervals of weightlessness that gave researchers on board a chance to study the possible effects of space-like microgravity on cells that are key to reproduction, according to Shawna Pandya, a Canadian space medicine...
