I’ve been Claude-pilled

The last thing I need right now is another news website to run. But here we are.

How It Started

My other site, ChatGPT Is Eating the World, is practically a full-time job. And that’s on top of my real job. I started that site back in January 2023 just as ChatGPT was exploding a month after its launch.

I predicted then the flood of copyright suits we see now. Nearly 3 years later, the lawsuits have ballooned to 90 suits against AI companies, with no end in sight. We are now in the quagmire of litigation.

If you add in the copyright suits around the world, we are well over 100.

Given all the lawsuits that I track the old-fashioned way (without AI assistance), I have no time to spare on a whole new project.

How It’s Going

But here we are.

I decided to launch a companion website called Claude Is Eating the World.

For the past 3 months, on my social feeds, I’ve heard nothing but Claude, Claude, Claude, Claude Code, Claude, Claude, Claude, Claude Code, Claude Code, Claude, Claude Code, Claude, Claude, Claude Code …

But justifiably so.

Let’s take a look at the exponential adoption rate of Anthropic’s Claude:

Or consider Anthropic’s annualized revenue rate, which has increased 20 fold since December 2024:

Behind these numbers are the hugely popular Claude Code, which enables anyone to “vibe code” through natural language the creation of apps and computer programs.

But there’s more. Far more.

You can use Claude Code to set up a team of AI agents to work autonomously for you. So you get not just one AI agent, but a team of them.

Plus, it feels like Anthropic is launching new features to Claude every week. Here’s how easy it is to create charts and diagrams now, as well as Excel and Powerpoint:

Announcements of Claude updates have caused 3 different sectors–security, legal research, and COBOL–to see stock valuations of other companies immediately drop, out of fear of being overtaken by Claude.

🚨 Anthropic ate 3 industries last month: February 3: Legal plugin (Thomson Reuters, LexusNexus) February 20: Claude Code Security (Crowdstrike, CloudFlare, Okta) February 23: COBOL modernization (IBM) – Jason Calacanis on @theallinpod #jasoncalacanis #futuretech #ai #claude #business

And, if these developments were not enough, the controversy with the Department of War’s designation of Claude as a “supply chain risk” has put Anthropic front and center:

What will Claude Is Eating the World cover?

On this site, I plan on covering all things Claude. More on the uses of Claude, including Claude Code.

The copyright suits and legal disputes I’ll still cover on ChatGPT Is Eating the World, where it all began.

Here I’ll cover applications using Claude, including in vibe coding, AI Agents, and Legal AI and so-called Native AI Law Firms.

Stay tuned.
