Anthropic has until Friday to comply wi=

Failing to comply will mean the can= cellation of Anthropic's contract. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said =
he could also label the company a supply-chain risk or invoke the Defense P= roduction Act to essentially force Anthropic to work more collaboratively w= ith the Pentagon.

This post takes a look at the many inte= resting coding projects that developers, creatives, and entrepreneurs in Ch= ina have been creating with AI tools over the past year. Tinkering culture = has no borders, and companies are cashing in. Vibecoding is changing the la= ndscape of technology in China. Highlights include a lighting app that beca=
me the most downloaded paid iPhone app in China, an app that suggests meet-=
up locations, and a tool that generates elaborate greeting messages based o=
n occasion, style, and relationship with the intended recipient.

<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Some tech firms have started tracking t= heir workers' use of AI tools with an eye on productivity gains, and in cer= tain cases, factoring it into performance reviews. There are jobs that aren=
't even considering candidates unless they demonstrate AI fluency. AI adopt= ion hasn't been easy, as tech workers have many of the same feelings about =
AI as the broader population, including skepticism about how much time it i=
s actually saving them. There's also the added anxiety about adopting a tec= hnology that will cause them to eventually lose their jobs.
