⚡ Today's Fight
Claude writes 80% of Anthropic's code. Breakthrough or hype?
Anthropic claims Claude wrote 80% of their code in May. Sounds like recursive self-improvement, but let's be real—it's probably just highly effective autocomplete. Engineers are still steering the ship while AI accelerates the grunt work. At least for now.
The Rest of the Field
Bots have officially taken over the internet
According to CloudFlare, bot traffic just surpassed human traffic a full year ahead of schedule. This changes everything for cybersecurity.
OpenAI and rivals are terrified of AI bioweapons
The CEOs of top AI labs are begging Congress to regulate DNA synthesis, terrified that AI will help bad actors cook up custom pathogens.

Fliki is your all-in-one, ElevenLabs wins on natural sound—just watch out for those commercial rights traps.
Go with ElevenLabs for narrative and Murf for corporate voiceovers. Pricing is similar; your use case makes the call.
ElevenLabs' API is 10x more expensive than OpenAI's, meaning that premium price tag isn't always justified.
Looking for free TTS? Try open-source tools like Kokoro and Chatterbox, which are already beating ElevenLabs in benchmarks.
