💻 Claude Code goes cloud-first

Anthropic just launched Claude Code on the web, a new browser-based interface that lets developers assign and manage coding tasks in the cloud. It’s designed for flexibility, parallel task execution, and secure integration with GitHub, all without needing a local terminal.

The Shift:

1. Cloud-native coding made simple - Developers can now run multiple coding sessions simultaneously, each in its own isolated sandbox. Claude handles tasks like bug fixes, backend tweaks, or documentation updates with real-time progress tracking and automatic PR generation.

2. GitHub integration with live control - By connecting repositories, users can delegate tasks and monitor progress visually, even adjusting direction mid-task. The feature works across multiple repos, speeding up releases while maintaining full version control.

3. Security-first by design - All sessions operate in a contained sandbox, with strict file and network limits to protect sensitive data. Git interactions flow through a secure proxy, ensuring Claude can only access approved repos and dependencies.

Claude Code’s web rollout turns AI pair programming into a multi-device, multi-task assistant, reducing friction between coding, testing, and deployment. It’s a major step toward agentic, cloud-based development, making advanced AI coding accessible to anyone, from seasoned engineers to mobile-first creators.

🎬 Make Cinematic Product Videos Without a Studio

Why waste budget on reshoots when you can change your video’s background, after it’s shot?

With WAN 2.2 Animate and Google’s Nano Banana, you can turn basic clips into lush, high-converting visuals in minutes.

Here’s the exact workflow:

  1. Capture your product demo → Record your original video and screenshot a frame of your subject

  2. Change the background with Nano Banana → Upload the screenshot and prompt it something like:

     “Misty forest road after rain, wet leaves reflecting soft light, gentle drizzle and fog in the distance.”

  3. Animate it with WAN 2.2 → Head to WAN 2.2 Photo Animate, upload both your edited image and original motion video to blend them

Use this flow to:

  • Swap bland settings with rich cinematic environments

  • Match ad visuals to brand tone or seasonal launches

  • Instantly localize content for different markets

Try it here, no studio, no VFX team needed.

🌐 Wikipedia’s 8% Drop Sparks a Webwide Revolt

Wikipedia just confirmed it’s losing direct visitors, about 8% fewer human pageviews than last year. The reason isn’t waning interest, but the rise of AI-generated answers and social video search, which give users instant summaries built on Wikipedia content without visiting the site itself. 

The Shift:

1. The hidden decline in human traffic - Once false bot traffic was filtered out, real visits to Wikipedia fell sharply. Generative AI and Google’s AI Overviews now provide answers directly on search pages, with click-through rates halving from 15% to 8%. For factual queries (“who,” “what,” “when,” “why”), Google triggers AI summaries in 60% of cases.

2. AI is using Wikipedia, without sending users back - Almost every large language model is trained on Wikipedia data, and major search engines use its content for instant responses. But with fewer direct visits, fewer editors contribute updates or donations, threatening the open-knowledge loop that sustains Wikipedia’s accuracy and reliability.

3. Cloudflare pushes back with content control - Cloudflare has rolled out the Content Signals Policy, adding new labels in robots.txt to define how data can be reused by AI and search crawlers. The update, active on over 3.8 million domains, lets sites specify permissions for search, ai-input, and ai-train uses.

Wikipedia’s decline and Cloudflare’s policy both signal a turning point for the open web’s power balance. AI is now consuming the very sources it once boosted, while web infrastructure players fight to reassert control. The next phase of the internet may hinge on whether platforms compensate, credit, or protect the creators fueling their intelligence.
