Anthropic's AI-generated blog dies an early death
Claude's blog is no more. A week after TechCrunch profiled Anthropic's experiment to task the company's Claude AI models with writing blog posts, Anthropic wound down the blog and redirected the address to its homepage. Sometime over the weekend, the Claude Explains blog disappeared — along with its initial few posts. A source familiar tells TechCrunch the blog was a "pilot" meant to help Anthropic's team combine customer requests for explainer-type "tips and tricks" content with marketing goals. Claude Explains, which had a dedicated page on Anthropic's website and was edited for accuracy by humans, was populated by posts on technical topics related to various Claude use cases (e.g. 'Simplify complex codebases with Claude'). The blog, which was intended to be a showcase of sorts for Claude's writing abilities, wasn't clear about how much of Claude's raw writing was making its way into each post. An Anthropic spokesperson previously told TechCrunch that the blog was overseen by "subject matter experts and editorial teams" who 'enhance[d]' Claude's drafts with 'insights, practical examples, and […] contextual knowledge.' The spokesperson also said Claude Explains would expand to topics ranging from creative writing to data analysis to business strategy. Apparently, those plans changed in pretty short order. "[Claude Explains is a] demonstration of how human expertise and AI capabilities can work together,' the spokesperson told TechCrunch earlier this month. "[The blog] is an early example of how teams can use AI to augment their work and provide greater value to their users. Rather than replacing human expertise, we're showing how AI can amplify what subject matter experts can accomplish." Claude Explains didn't get the rosiest reception on social media, in part due to the lack of transparency about which copy was AI-generated. Some users pointed out it looked a lot like an attempt to automate content marketing, an ad tactic that relies on generating content on popular topics to serve as a funnel for potential customers. More than 24 websites were linking to Claude Explains posts before Anthropic wound down the pilot, according to search engine optimization tool Ahrefs. That's not bad for a blog that was only live for around a month. Anthropic might've also grown wary of implying Claude performs better at writing tasks than is actually the case. Even the best AI today is prone to confidently making things up, which has led to embarrassing gaffes on the part of publishers that have publicly embraced the tech. For example, Bloomberg has had to correct dozens of AI-generated summaries of its articles, and G/O Media's error-riddled AI-written features — published against editors' wishes — attracted widespread ridicule.

Live updates: Apple WWDC event to kick off with keynote, iPhone and iOS announcements
Update: Date: 11 min ago Title: The big question: What's next for Apple Intelligence? Content: Last year, Apple made its long-awaited push into AI with the introduction of Apple Intelligence. But it's faced hurdles since then; Apple Intelligence wasn't ready in time for the iPhone 16's launch last fall. The company delayed its revamped version of Siri that incorporates data from a person's iPhone to answer questions – a factor that could be key in separating it from rival AI helpers. And it pulled AI-generated summaries of Apple News notifications earlier this year after displaying inaccurate headlines. The bigger issue is that Apple's current AI tools don't offer experiences that are notably different from what you can get elsewhere. Now, at WWDC, Apple will show how its AI efforts have progressed over the past year. Update: Date: 7 min ago Title: What to expect at WWDC this year Content: The past two WWDC events have been milestones for Apple, marking expansions into new areas like generative artificial intelligence and mixed reality. This year's event, however, is expected to be more muted. Apple typically introduces sweeping new software updates for its major products at WWDC: the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, AirPods and Vision Pro. This year, those updates could include a major software redesign for the iPhone and other products, more translation features, a tool that uses AI to manage the iPhone's battery life and an upgrade to the Messages app that makes it more like WhatsApp, according to Bloomberg. Apple may also rebrand the name of its new software for each product to correspond with the coming year, the report says. For example, instead of going from iOS 18 to iOS 19, the company is expected to call its next iPhone update iOS 26. That could provide more continuity across products, given that software version numbers currently differ across platforms.

Elon Musk's feud with Trump is hurting an unexpected investment
Just think, this all started with a picture of a man carrying a sink into an office building. It has been a winding road for Elon Musk since a court ruled he had to buy Twitter after he attempted to pull out of a legally binding agreement and the company sued to force Musk to buy it for $44 billion. Despite his initial trepidation, Musk seems to have really enjoyed his time running his favorite social media platform. Related: White House responds to the latest Elon Musk jab Musk is the most popular person on what is now called X, with nearly 221 million followers. Thousands of supporters, and adversaries, interact with his every post and reply. This week, one of those supporters became a very powerful adversary when Musk began attacking President Donald Trump. Musk, who says Trump would not have won the presidency without his help, slammed his former boss' main legislative agenda, and most shockingly, tied the president to Jeffrey Epstein. While this type of unpredictable mayhem is exactly what keeps people hooked on X, the Wall Street Journal reports that Musk's tweet storm may have cost xAI, X's parent company, a lot of money. Deal makers from Morgan Stanley were in the process of wooing investors as part of a $5 billion debt deal when Musk seemingly began burning his most valuable bridges to the White House, according to a new report. The bank had gathered some of xAI's top executives on a conference call to talk about the company and its role in the world with Trump as an ally in the White House. Between January and April, Morgan Stanley was able to sell about $11 billion of X debt, the Wall Street Journal reported, without incurring major losses. But now, the Journal reports that investors who followed Musk's breakup with Trump live are now worried about what the new reality could mean for the company. Related: Tesla execs question Elon Musk over controversial X post Musk's relationship with Trump made xAI more attractive, but now, not only does Musk not have Trump's backing, but investors are also worried that Trump may retaliate against Musk somehow, according to the report. Potential xAI investors aren't the only ones who are worried, however. Tesla shares dropped 7% in the aftermath of Musk's tweet storm. Morgan Stanley is looking to sell about $5 billion in debt to finance the building of data centers to train its AI program, Grok. The bank had been looking to sell the debt at about 100 cents on the dollar, but after the spat, Xs outstanding debt traded down several points to 95 cents on the dollar. xAI is also in the midst of arranging a $300 million stock sale, a transaction that would value the company at $113 billion. xAI reported a $341 mllon loss in the first quarter of the year, but expects to be profitable within a few years. Twitter has always been a place for robust political discussion. A Pew Research study from May 1, 2020, to May 31, 2021, found that one-third of the tweets on the site were political. But over the past two years, he has discovered the true power of social media and has used it to promote his political agenda.

This year, only 20% of Democrats on X reported having a mostly positive experience, while 40% said they had a mostly negative experience. Meanwhile, 51% of Republicans say they have a mostly positive experience, while just 11% say they have a mostly negative experience.
