AMD Says Claude Code Can No Longer Handle Hard Engineering

Claude Code is facing a serious credibility problem after AMD’s senior AI director said it has regressed, become unreliable for complex engineering, and pushed their team to switch providers after repeated failures.

Details:

  • AMD’s Stella Laurenzo filed a GitHub issue after reviewing nearly 7,000 Claude Code sessions, saying the tool reads far less code before editing and struggles to finish hard tasks

  • It says Claude Code rewrites whole files about twice as often, abandons jobs mid-way far more than before, and had its visible reasoning cut from full display to zero in March 2026

  • Laurenzo tied the drop to hidden reasoning, urged Anthropic to restore thinking visibility or offer a premium deep-reasoning tier, and said AMD’s engineering team has already moved to a rival

After 14 rapid releases and 5 outages in one month, critics say Anthropic’s quality control may be slipping, and the Mythos delay debate got louder.

OpenAI Pushes AI Wealth Fund Over Universal Basic Income

OpenAI is pitching a future where superintelligence may disrupt jobs, but instead of leading with UBI, it wants citizens tied to an AI-linked public wealth fund that rises or falls with the market.

Details:

  • In its policy paper, OpenAI says the shift toward superintelligence could disrupt jobs, concentrate wealth, and outgrow existing safety nets, so it argues for a broader rewrite of economic policy

  • Its main idea is a public wealth fund seeded with help from policymakers and AI firms, investing in AI and related companies, with returns paid directly to citizens as shared economic upside

  • The paper pairs that with tax changes, stronger worker input, wider AI use, sturdier unemployment and welfare systems, plus shorter-workweek pilots when AI lifts output and reduces routine work

OpenAI is trying to frame the post-work debate around public investment and shared returns, not guaranteed cash. That is likely to trigger strong debate.

Top AI & SaaS Tools

  • Shareables (Life-time Deal): Turns Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion into customizable, live-synced, no-code websites with templates, search/filters, and lightweight embeds

  • Interactive Simulations Gemini: Gemini creates interactive 3D simulations inside chat, turning complex topics into manipulable visualizations

  • EditWithAva: First AI video editor that understands your footage to auto-cut, select scenes, and deliver publish-ready edits [F-R-E-E Trial]

  • Qwen-Image-2.0: Image model that generates native 2K photoreal images and pro-quality slides with flawless text rendering [F-R-E-E]

  • Manus Agents: Brings the full Manus AI agent into messaging apps (starting with Telegram) with multi-step reasoning, tools, and file/voice handling

AI agents now read your docs almost as much as humans do.

Mintlify analyzed 790 million requests across its documentation platform. The finding: AI coding agents account for 45.3% of all traffic, nearly tied with traditional browsers at 45.8%.

Two tools are driving almost all of it:

  • Claude Code: 25.2% of total traffic, more requests than Chrome on Windows

  • Cursor: 18% of total traffic

  • Together they account for 95.6% of all identified AI agent traffic

The rest of the field, OpenCode, Trae, ChatGPT, and NotebookLM, is showing up but nowhere close.

One caveat: OpenAI's Codex doesn't send an identifiable user-agent header, so the real agent percentage is likely even higher.

The takeaway for anyone maintaining developer docs: your documentation now serves two audiences. Structure and machine-readability matter as much as clarity for human readers.

How to Spot Scams in Seconds With Malwarebytes in ChatGPT

Scams are more advanced and harder to spot than ever. With Malwarebytes inside ChatGPT, you can quickly review links, emails, numbers, messages, and screenshots before you interact with them.

  1. Turn on Malwarebytes

    Launch ChatGPT and go to Settings → Apps. Search for Malwarebytes, then enable the integration. You need to do this once.

  2. Start fresh chat

    Enter a fresh chat so the request is clean and easy to follow.

  3. Add items to verify

    Paste or upload the suspicious content you want checked:

    • A link or domain

    • An email address, sender details, or the full email text

    • A message or SMS that includes an unknown number

  4. Ask Malwarebytes to run check

    Type a clear command that tells the tool what to do.

    Example prompts:

    “Malwarebytes, scan this link and tell me if it’s risky: [paste]”

    “Malwarebytes, verify this sender and message for scam signs: [paste]”

  5. Make sure app activates

    You should see the integration activate in the prompt bar. If it doesn’t, press the + icon and select Malwarebytes from the drop-down menu.

  6. Read results like checklist

    Malwarebytes will scan the details and return info such as:

    • Who the sender appears to be

    • Threat intelligence signals tied to the content

    It may also flag common scam tactics like urgency, fake links, impersonation, or credential harvesting.

Note: If a message asks for passwords, OTP codes, or payment info, assume it’s a scam and verify through an official channel.
