That's the question at the heart of Dario Amodei's new essay, which argues the next few years will decide whether AI delivers a golden age or spirals toward something darker — and that the tech's economic promise is a trap humanity can't resist. | | In today's AI rundown: | Anthropic CEO on AI's 'civilizational' danger Anthropic embeds interactive apps inside Claude Build your own design system for AI Microsoft launches powerful Maia 200 AI chip 4 new AI tools, community workflows, and more

| The Rundown: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just published "The Adolescence of Technology," a new essay that lays out what he sees as the biggest dangers of AI, from bioterrorism and autonomous weapons to mass job loss and AI-powered dictatorships. | The details: | The essay builds on his 2024 "Machines of Loving Grace", but pivots to risk — framing AI as a "country of geniuses in a data center" that we can't control. Amodei predicts half of entry-level office jobs are at risk over the next 1-5 years, with economic shocks arriving faster than society can adapt. He calls for chip export bans and more transparency from labs, saying AI's economic promise makes restraint "very difficult for human civilization." Amodei also flags AI companies themselves as a tier of risk, noting Claude exhibited deception and blackmail behavior during internal safety testing.
| Why it matters: Amodei's essays are always a must-read, and while 'Machines of Loving Grace' outlined the optimistic end of AI's spectrum, he follows it up with a polar opposite document that doesn't hold back — arguing that the next few years will determine whether humanity navigates to an AI-powered golden age or destruction. |

| The Rundown: Anthropic just launched interactive apps inside its Claude AI assistant, allowing users to connect and use apps like Asana, Slack, Canva, and more without ever leaving the chat window. | The details: | The initial rollout includes nine apps: Asana, Figma, Canva, Slack, Box, Amplitude, Clay, Hex, and Monday, with Salesforce coming soon. The integrations run on MCP Apps, a new open extension to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol — meaning other AI platforms can build the same functionality. Actions require user consent prompts before executing, and enterprise admins can lock down which tools employees have access to. The feature ships to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers at no extra cost, with a Cowork integration also coming in the future.
| Why it matters: OAI rolled out a similar Apps SDK at Dev Day, and all the frontier labs are pushing to turn their platforms into a workplace layer that sits on top of every other highly-used app. With the importance of context to getting the most out of AI, every popular app and platform will be just an integration away from your preferred assistant. |

| The Rundown: Microsoft just debuted Maia 200, the company's newest in-house AI chip that it says beats rivals from Amazon and Google on key benchmarks — while also chipping away at Nvidia's software grip on the industry. | The details: | Microsoft claims the chip outperforms Amazon's Trainium 3 and Google's TPU v7, with 30% better efficiency than its current hardware. The chip will power OAI's GPT-5.2 models, Microsoft's internal AI teams, and Copilot across its product lineup starting this week. Microsoft is also releasing an SDK preview, developer tools that rival Nvidia's industry-standard software, in a move to loosen the AI chip giant's moat.
| Why it matters: Google and Amazon were already pushing Nvidia to carve out a piece of the custom AI chip market, and now Microsoft is getting its own next-gen chips into the competition. The tech giant's SDK also targets the software side, hitting at a CUDA moat that is considered one of Nvidia's biggest competitive advantages. |

| | | | | Every newsletter, we showcase how a reader is using AI to work smarter, save time, or make life easier. | Today's workflow comes from reader Robert M. in Ontario, Canada: | "I am an author, and... I recently uploaded my book to ChatGPT and asked it to plot out the chapters for the next book. I included the location, characters, and basic premise. | ChatGPT came up with 10 chapter headings and brief outlines. I then took each outline and wrote the chapter based on the outline, changing when necessary. I wrote the book in two weeks instead of the usual two months. It's still me writing the book: my story, my language. But having AI come up with a plot sequence saved me hours." | How do you use AI? Tell us here. |
