🏛️ Trump Orders Federal Government to Cut Ties With AI Company Anthropic
President Trump ordered all federal agencies to immediately stop using Anthropic’s technology after a heated standoff with the Pentagon. Anthropic refused to allow unrestricted military use of its AI, seeking guarantees it wouldn’t be used for autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth designated Anthropic a “supply chain risk”—a label typically reserved for foreign adversaries—barring military contractors from doing business with the company. Anthropic has vowed to challenge the designation in court, calling it “legally unsound.”
💻 Spotify Says Its Top Developers Haven’t Written Code Since December—AI Is Doing It For Them
Spotify co-CEO Gustav Söderström revealed that the company’s best developers “have not written a single line of code since December.” Instead, engineers use an internal AI system called “Honk” built on Claude Code to generate and deploy code—even from their phones via Slack during their morning commute. The system helped Spotify ship over 50 new features in 2025. Söderström called this “just the beginning” of AI-driven development at the company.
🏠 Airbnb Is Testing AI-Powered Search to Help Users With Bookings
Airbnb is testing a new AI-powered search feature that lets users describe what they’re looking for in natural language instead of using traditional filters. Users can type prompts like “a pet-friendly cabin with a hot tub near the mountains” and ask follow-up questions about listings. CEO Brian Chesky said the company is building an “AI-native experience where the app doesn’t just search for you—it knows you.” The feature is currently live for a small percentage of users.
