Anthropic
🤠 Claude’s $50B Glow-Up: Anthropic Goes Big on Compute

The Bite: Anthropic just announced a $50 billion partnership with UK-based Fluidstack to build data centers custom-tailored for Claude.

The goal is to finally make their famously expensive AI models faster, cheaper, and more efficient to run.

While OpenAI’s been busy striking deals left and right, Anthropic’s move feels like a power play for the builders;

The builders who live inside Claude all day and just want more juice for less cash.

Snacks:

• The centers will be purpose-built for Anthropic workloads, focusing on energy and compute efficiency

• The deal spans multiple U.S. locations with long-term commitments to renewable power sources

• Could lower training and inference costs across Anthropic’s entire Claude lineup

• Signals an industry-wide push to democratize compute, not just hoard GPUs

• Anthropic says this will “maximize efficiency for our workloads.” Which could mean more affordable AI down the line

Why it Bites: This is the kind of infrastructure move that makes everyone’s models better, even OpenAI’s.

But yeah, Texas is already hot enough.
Let’s hope they don’t get fully juiced.

(Meanwhile, some of us are still on the $200/mo Claude plan trying to code in peace.)

🧑‍💻 The AI That Interviewed a Human…

The Bite: A viral Reddit post claims a job seeker was interviewed by an AI pretending to be human.

Fully complete with awkward head nods, lag spikes, and zero “ums.”

Some say it’s fake, others say it’s Tuesday.

Either way, we’re officially in an era where HR bots might be hiring HR bots.

Snacks:

• The candidate noticed repetitive movements and instant, emotionless replies

• When the screen froze and resumed seamlessly, they realized it wasn’t a glitch, it was a script

• Post blew up on r/Interviews, topping 10k upvotes in 24 hours

• HR pros called it “efficient but cold,” while others joked, “let candidates use AI too”

• Companies like HireVue and Paradox already use AI for pre-screening — this might be the next step

Why it bites: Whether it’s real or not almost doesn’t matter…

This story feels true because the line between human and machine already blurred.

Somewhere, an AI recruiter just asked another AI if it has “strong communication skills.”
