Anthropic pushed two moves on Claude in the same window: a Chrome side panel upgrade that runs full Claude Cowork sessions, and word that it will start embedding an imperceptible watermark in Claude's generated text. Security teams got a reminder that AI infrastructure is now part of the attack surface, with a LiteLLM supply chain compromise and a chained SharePoint JWT/.NET exploit both surfacing. On the storage side, a cautionary tale landed: PBS lost access to 70 years of TV archive material after its contracted cloud storage vendor went defunct, now the subject of a lawsuit against Iron Mountain. And one sharp essay made the rounds arguing engineers should deliberately blog about things they don't yet fully understand, as a forcing function for learning in public.
