Anthropic bans Claude Code from copying other people's games

Anthropic has barred Claude Code running Opus 5.5 from copying existing games, even under a different name, but you can still build your own games, including in a chosen genre. According to Anthropic's Addy Osmani on X, the ban is two sentences added to the model's instructions, based on a usage policy that prohibits infringing others' intellectual property. Users complain the model also refuses to help with reverse engineering, Tom's Hardware reports.

Amazon, not VCs, stands to make the most from Anthropic's IPO

Amazon, not venture capital firms, stands to make the most from Anthropic's IPO, TechCrunch calculates based on the S-1 filing. Of the roughly $18 billion Amazon has invested in the company, $8 billion went into convertible notes, which Amazon valued at $97.9 billion as of June 30. No VC firm holds even 5% of the company - Menlo Ventures' stake of about 1.5% is worth roughly $14 billion, according to Bloomberg. Amazon will also profit as a supplier: Anthropic has committed to spend at least $110 billion on AWS over 10 years.
