Anthropic’s Hidden Claude 1, Market-Shaking AI Tools, and MIT’s One-Step 3D-Printed Electric Motor
Host Jim Love covers three major stories: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s comments on AI governance and safety, including that “Claude 1” was built before ChatGPT but not released because it didn’t meet Anthropic’s alignment and safety bar; how Anthropic’s recent launches—Claude for knowledge-work “cowork” workflows, deeper office/document integrations, Claude Code Security for vulnerability scanning, and tooling to automate parts of COBOL modernization—coincided with sharp market reactions including declines in CrowdStrike and Zscaler (around 10–11%) and a major IBM drop (more than 13%) amid fears AI could disrupt SaaS, cybersecurity, and legacy modernization revenue; and MIT researchers’ report of a 3D printing process that produces a fully functional linear electric motor in a single step (aside from magnetization), with reported material cost around 50 cents in a lab setting, raising the prospect of on-demand manufacturing and compressed supply chains. The episode also includes sponsorship messages about Meter’s integrated wired, wireless, and cellular networking stack.
