Today, Jason breaks down what he loves about Claude Cowork. Oh, I thought it was like time for me to rap. Yeah. About Claude Cowork. Okay. Yeah, it'll be an interesting big story. I'm Jason Howell. Break it down for me, Jason. Actually, yes. Well, you're Tom Merritt, by the way. I am, by the way. Okay. You're Jason Howell. I just wanted people to know that. Let's get started with my very awkward rap in the big story. All right. Kick a beat. Let's get... No, no, no, let's not do that anymore. There's been a lot of news during the past few months. It would get really weird. Let's be honest. No, that's a really good idea to stop that. Yeah. Yeah. We'll just go ahead and stop there. Last few months, lots of news about Claude Cowork. And, you know, and especially on this show, we talked about how it's impacting software as a service products, or at least, according to Wall Street, it seems, and maybe even just short term impacts, that sort of thing. But I've been using Cowork now for a few weeks, probably like two and a half, almost three weeks now, primarily on my MacBook Pro. And I've been really getting to know how it works and what it's good for, at least in my kind of world. And I've been really liking it a lot. So I thought maybe we could just spend a top of the show kind of talking a little bit about Cowork and what it is. If you've heard it, but you're kind of wondering exactly what makes it different, that sort of stuff. So yeah. So let's dive in. And maybe I can convince Tom to check out. Me, Jason Cowork on a deeper level. It's pretty cool, though. So this is an app based version of Claude. So you can't do Cowork just in your browser, right? You have to install the app. I'm using it on a MacBook Pro. I think it works on a PC. I would imagine it would be weird if it didn't. And I would say the real core strength here is that it's at least in my use of it is it's like a self contained project kind of sandbox sort of thing. That that's what I'm really diving into. And projects are nothing new. In fact, if you're on Claude and a lot of other LLMs on on the web, you're going to find some sort of like projects, which is like, you know, organize all of your chats into this particular place. But it's a little different here than some of the other projects that I've used. Every project is its own sandbox. And within those sandboxes, those projects, you can load all of your context files, you can write up specific instructions, you can maintain memory that's specific to that project. And you give it access to a folder on your hard drive. And of course, this is where people are like, Oh, I ain't doing that. But the good news is you can like, like it does require access to a hard drive folder, because that's where it stores all of the files that it generates. That's where it stores all of the like the memory file, the markdown memory file that it maintains over time with your project files, all that stuff ends up in that single folder. And that could be the only folder that you granted access to on your machine. And that's it. But that makes it really useful. Because as you're working with it, and you're creating these assets, say you create like a slideshow or whatever, you don't then have to go in and like download it. So it's already there. It's like everything that you're working on is there inside. The alternative would be stored in the cloud, which people also hate. So yeah, that's sense one folder, it can't go out of that. I'm fine with that personally. Yeah, and it keeps it all organized. Like if I have a, you know, a project that is specific to like my podcast, like consulting business, I can create a project that is that, you know, this is its purpose, everything that I do in podcast consulting goes in here. Here are all of the files that are my context that inform how I approach things within my business, let's say these are the ways that I approach this problem or this task versus that blah, blah, blah, put it in there. And then all of those files are now organized into that folder on my machine. And they're just kind of kept there in perpetuity unless I choose to delete them. And so it just kind of forces you into this like organizational style that really works well for my brain. It's like everything's in there neat and tidy. Yeah. Yeah, it's really nice. And then you could, of course, you could choose to have that back up to like iCloud or whatever, and then you'd have access to all those things wherever you are. But you can assign any of your chats to a schedule. So if you want to have like a schedule that runs, you know, every morning at 8am to do some things, given your machine is on, it will automatically do that. Skills are something that like there's there's these other kind of components that go into it. Skills is basically tasks or processes that you can create to attach to any of your chats without having to start at square one. So I might have I have a skill that is like it basically ties into my screenshots folder on my hard drive. And that way when I take a screenshot of something instead of me having to go find that screenshot, drag it into the chat and say, tell me this thing about this thing. I just make sure that my screenshot skill is assigned to that project. And then now I can just say, look at my latest screenshot and tell me blah, blah, blah. And it goes out there and it finds the latest one and it does it for me. So that outside the folder, though, that I've given it access to your screenshot. Okay, yeah. So I've given it access to that as well, essentially through that task. And I can assign that task to any of my projects. And it immediately has that capability. So you don't have to rebuild it inside of the work. And when you say chats, you're that that's the prompts, right? Yeah, you have to have a long ongoing chat. It's just another no thing you're telling it what to do. Totally. And that's kind of one of the beauties of the project kind of organizational structure. Because if I have like my podcast consulting sandbox, let's say, or project, every one of my new chats that I fire off in there is kind of organized within it. And it's all self contained. It's all easy to reference and find in there. So it keeps everything there. All of the chats that are within a project but separate from each other have context and insight into the other chats. So they kind of talk to each other and inform each other. And it just becomes really smart over time. And then I like I haven't even talked about connectors, which is like third party services, you connected to your Gmail inbox, you could, you know, do all those third party connections, however comfortable you feel about that notion, whatever. And then there's plugins and plugins are the things that I think have moved the Wall Street. You know, Wall Street has reacted to like the financial plugin or the marketing plugin or whatever, as far as like this whole suite of capabilities that you can say, I want this project to now be super charged in marketing. So I'll take the marketing plugin, apply it to there. And now it has all these capabilities, like, you know, creating really unique to your brand PowerPoint presentations or whatever the case may be. And that's the kind of thing people are like, Oh, they might not need Salesforce anymore, they'll just use a little plugins. Yeah, yeah, which I don't know that I necessarily agree. I can see like a stretch right now. But yeah, it seems like a stretch maybe somewhere down the line. But still, it does bring some really nice capabilities to it. You know, at the drop of just like at that, and boof, it suddenly can do all these things. So yeah, it's pretty cool. I don't know, have you had a chance to mess around with it at all? Or I have not tried cloud co-work. No, that is that is one I haven't dipped my toe into yet. So this is probably going to make me want to do it. It's, you know, it's been on my long, long list. I've tried some agentic stuff. I've tried the gems, you know, from Google, and I've tried some of the agentic stuff in Atlas from OpenAI. I have a feeling that's about to get better when they get the super app whipped together. So it does feel like cloud co-work is the most polished one that I've seen so far. Yeah. And I only recently, in my Chrome browser, added the Anthropic Chrome extension, which essentially means that now within co-work, you know, again, all of these things inside of a project require your explicit permission. So I could basically say, you know, add the skill or I can't remember if it's a skill or a plugin, I think it was a skill, to basically say, I want you to go into my browser and do this thing, you know, I have to have the Anthropic extension on my Chrome browser installed. And then inside of my project, I have to give it permission with that skill to do that. And then yes, it will, you know, open up a browser and go do the thing and, you know, control it in that agentic way. And, you know, that like I was using it to like analyze my YouTube studio stats so that I don't have to go over and screenshot everything is like, take a look at the last 10 videos and tell me what what you think about, you know, the performance. Yeah, no, that's a great example of the kind of thing where you're like, well, I can do that and I do do that. But this will do it faster and give me another perspective on it. Yeah, yeah. And it'll let me do that while I'm making lunch or whatever. So yeah, it's doing a video that's going to go in there. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. But it's a it's a lot of fun. I'm really the more I use it, the more I'm like, Oh, wait a minute, now that means I could do this, you know, it's one of those kind of like unlocks where suddenly my mind is kind of spinning a little bit more. I'm like, Oh, I would be way more efficient now because instead of having to retrain these chats all the time on the context or how to do this or what, it's just in there. And now I just fire off a new kind of chat inside of that project. And I just get to work instead of having to like train it. Yeah, or having to go back to the same chat and, you know, try to find it, you know, the list of chat GPT chats or something. And again, there's there's ways to do this in the other ones. But it does sound like like this is this has got a really efficient and well polished way of managing it. Yeah. And I think that's what really works well for my brain until the next thing comes along. If I had to give it two dings, I would say, co work very specific to the machine that you're working on. There is probably a way to do this to where I have co work on one machine, and it's mostly the same on another machine, but it's but it is very specific to your machine. So there's that. And just the the general fact that this is probably more me than it. But the more you use it, the easier it is to burn your tokens, because you're like, Oh, well, then I'll do this. And I'll do this blah, blah, blah, and then I reach my limit and like, Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. And can you buy more tokens? Not that you should. But you yeah, the temptation is like, Oh, I think that's part of the equation there. Yeah. But but it's cool. So anyone wondering, you know, check it out. You might it might work for your brain the way it's worked for me. This is great. Because I know Claude co work is sort of this meta thing that's floating through a lot of different stories, like you were saying. And it's really good to hear your description of how you use it. Because I think that solidifies it a little more in my mind anyway, about what it actually means. So yeah, what does it actually mean? What is it good for? And yeah, I think you like what are the fears might actually be legitimate? And which ones seem like, I don't know, that seems like an overreaction to what it can do. Yeah, totally, totally. Well, a big thank you to everybody who makes it possible for us to actually do this show. So Jason can share those experiences with you.

All right, there's more actual news to talk about today. So let's get to the briefs. Yeah, Monday humans went the farthest from Earth they've ever been. What? That seems newsworthy to me. I don't know. Call me crazy. It's also the closest to the moon any human has been since 1972. Commander Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook and Jeremy Hansen flew within 6,545 kilometers of the moon at 7pm Eastern on Monday. Or I guess they flew within 6,545 kilometers of the lunar surface. And then two minutes after that is when they reached 406,771 kilometers away from Earth to become the farthest away. The capsule at that point was behind the moon. And so transmissions to the Earth were blocked. There was a 40 minute period, which is normal and expected where they could not communicate with Earth. But during that, the crew said they were so busy recording observations and taking photos and doing their mission that it kind of went by nicely because they weren't being interrupted. The crew of integrity went through courses in geology and photography to prepare them for this flyby. So even though they are, you know, specialists in their own disciplines, they all became sort of geologists for this. And as luck would have it, the crew also observed a lunar eclipse from up close, something that was only possible because they made that April 1 launch date. So they were able to actually observe the moon transiting in front of the sun right up close. The pilot, Victor Glover, said that after all the amazing sights that we saw earlier, we just went sci-fi. It just looked so unreal to be that close to an eclipse. And later he added humans have probably not evolved to see what we're seeing. It is truly hard to describe. The crew also got to name two craters that were previously unnamed. They named one after their Orion spacecraft integrity. So there's now a crater named integrity. And they requested that the other be named for Commander Wiseman's late wife, Carol. She died of cancer in 2020. That was a very touching moment when he radioed the request for the naming. All four crew teared up. He said that it's a bright spot on the moon. We would like to call it Carol. That was the tear jerking phrase. And they actually finished with a group hug. Group hug. There was not a dry eye in the cabin. As for the technology, they were all taking their observations with Microsoft Surface Tablets. So both taking notes and speaking to it. They referred to those as PCDs. So if you heard them talk about their PCDs, their personal computing devices, those were Microsoft Surface Tablets. They had four iPhone 17 Pro Maxes. There's a very popular shot that Wiseman took with his iPhone close up of the lunar surface and then held up the iPhone in front of the dark, you know, crew or cabin. And it like lights up as if he like took a slice of the moon. Really great picture. They also have a GoPro Hero 4 Black, a Nikon D5 and a Nikon Z9. And I think they used one of the Nikons to take a picture that's flipping around of Earthrise over the moon, which is a classic shot. The next mission, Artemis 3, will take place in low Earth orbit. They're not going to go to the moon on that one. That one is to test docking with at least one of the two human rated lunar landers. If that goes well, Artemis 4 will go back to the moon and attempt to land people on the moon in 2028. Amazing. Yeah, that one. If you thought I was excited about this one, I'm going to be real excited about that. Oh, no kidding. That's going to be pretty remarkable and awesome when that happens. It just, it feels good to feel good about a story like this. That's all I can say. It's so cool to witness that this is happening. And just at a time where so much news just feels so heavy and weighty and divisive and everything, I just love that this is happening right now because it's just a good reminder of what it feels like to feel good about a story like this. I don't want to get us down the rabbit hole of why are we spending all this money going to the moon? There's places to have that conversation, but it does remind me that things were arguably worse in the 1960s when we were doing the same thing with Apollo 8, 9, 10, and of course Apollo 11, which landed on the moon. It is good to have that balance and that perspective that you can only get by leaving the planet, like leaving the planet, not just low Earth orbit, right? Not just the International Space Station, but to be flying around the moon. And sort of, I think Christina Cook was saying, you realize that it's a destination. It's not just a poster in the sky. It's an actual thing. It's crazy. Totally. And the whole quote of, humans not evolving to see what they're seeing. That's that one landed for me. That's so true. You think you've seen it all and then you see something like this up close. Now, if you've got an iPhone and you're flying by the moon and you choose to take a photo, do you use the telephoto the way they did? Or do you take it standard and you tweak it later? I think you do both. You know, you have plenty of stories. It's not like you would totally do one or the other. Yeah. Because I want to see what it looks like with the telephoto, for sure. Totally. Totally. Well, super cool stuff. Great news there. Motorola announced the Moto G Stylus 2026 new smartphone for $499. It's going to arrive on April 16th. As you can imagine from the name, this is Motorola's mid-range stylus equipped smartphone. The company finally gave it an active pen this time. Last year's model was not active. It finally has pressure sensitivity, tilt detection. There's a side button and of course, you know, tight software integration with Moto's suite of apps. The stylus is rated for around 100 hours of use, charges while docked inside of the phone. So you don't have to plug it in outside of the phone or something like that. Outside of that change, the device looks very similar from last year's version. Brighter 5000 nit Super HD display. Very, very nice durability protection with IP68 and IP69 for both the phone and the pen, by the way. A 5200 milliamp hour battery, fast 68 watt wired charging. And the processor inside, though, that's kind of a little snag, a little dated Snapdragon 6, Gen 3, 8 gigs of RAM. So you're not going to get like major epic performance out of these, but this is Motorola's mid-range and typically that's that's to be expected for those devices. And then they also have a tablet, the Moto pad 2026 coming to the US via T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile only. So this is a mobile first 5G tablet, you know, kind of a standard tablet, 11 inch, 2.5 K LCD MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip, 8 gigs of RAM. Again, not a huge performer there, 128 gigs of storage. The bet here is that this lower cost 5G tablet might be a better compliment to their US hardware. Maybe that eventually leads to the release of a higher end device in the US. Only time will tell there. No pricing was announced on that. But you get that through your carrier. Yeah, it's an interesting approach to say, look, we're only going to put out the 5G version, we're going to sell it with a carrier that does it. But yeah, I really do, I really do like the Moto G stylus, especially at 500 bucks. I know you get you have to make a compromise on the processor. But if you are someone who really misses that old, you know, stylish way of doing things that the Samsung Note used to be the star of, this is a more affordable way to get it back. Yeah, and I actually did review last year's version of this phone, the Moto G Stylus 2025. That's on digital trends. And it got a really great review, actually. It got the editor's choice. And that was with the stylus that wasn't nearly as capable as what we have now. So I think that's a really great upgrade. Still a pretty minimal update promise, which Motorola does, you know, it's a two year OS three year security. So it's not major. That's a little bit of a disappointment. But definitely if you like stylus and you don't want to spend $1,300 on an S26 Ultra, this is a great alternative. Nikkei Asia reports that an alternative to the Apple iPhone is going to be delayed. Supply chain sources telling it that Apple has advised them there is a delay to the beginning of manufacture of a foldable phone. These are component suppliers that are saying Apple has told them, hold on, we're not going to need your components as soon as we thought the problem apparently arose during the fourth of six steps that every Apple product has to go through before shipping. The fourth of these steps is the production verification test or the PVT. That's the step that takes a model that has worked well as a prototype. And all the components work and they've tested that all out and they run it through the manufacturing process. They want to make sure that the tools and the assembly procedures and the quality control measures all work properly so that the product comes out as intended. After it passes that test, it would go into pilot production and then mass production and then you can start buying it. Apple, however, ran into, quote, more issues than expected, according to Nikkei in that PVT stage. So as they try to fix them as fast as possible, this is definitely going to push off the first shipments by months and possibly into 2027. Yeah, this is just one of those things that we keep waiting for. And oh, one step forward, one step back. The leaked, and I don't know, I mean, do we have any confirmation that these leaked kind of like dummy devices are actual? It's from some of those leaks have generally turned out to be reliable in the past. But also, was there anything shocking in that dummy that you saw? To be honest, I haven't been following the fold so closely that I'm seeing anything in this leaked dummy thing that I'm like, oh, wow, this is very different. It's just seeing how it is that kind of shorter, squattier, wider thing. I don't know, I'll be super curious. I'm very, very curious to see what Apple can do with the fold. Well, yeah, it's next to dummies of what are purported to be the next iPhones. So I wonder if it just looks squatter than it actually is going to be in practice. Yeah, I mean, you know, when I think of like the pixel fold, I think it's still pretty much the same height as, you know, a standard pixel. The new ones are my my my first one was was more like that. Was that a squatter? And I don't think of it as squat. So yeah. Yeah, it's just interesting. I'll be very curious, though. I like I have no doubt that Apple's going to nail it on a foldable and make a really compelling device. But seeing it with my eyes and like, oh, wow, we'll see how it works. I'm more fascinated with them getting all the way to PBT and then running it. I'm like, what is the problem? Like it's obviously not the construction of the hinge. Is it that you can't continue? Are the tools not working with it? Like if you don't do it by hand, I'm so fascinated on that part of it. What do you want to hear us talk about on the show, folks?

Yes, Anthropic says its revenue run rate has tripled from around 9 billion at the end of 2025 to more than 30 billion dollars. And so they're going to spend some of that money. They signed a deal with Broadcom to supply Anthropic with 3.5 gigawatts worth of custom Google 10 SOAR processing units starting in 2027. This is as big of a deal from Broadcom as it is for Anthropic to be working with Google to kind of make those TPUs available. Yeah. And Google continuing to make those TPUs available. It wasn't very long ago when this stuff was just Google's and now they're kind of opening up that portfolio for others. Interesting. Open AI put out calls for applications to the Open AI Safety Fellowship quote to pursue rigorous high impact research on the safety and alignment of advanced AI systems. Google is adding design changes to Gemini that surface help is available messages and crisis hotline information. If it detects users discussing what it thinks is self harm or mental health crises. Good to have that in place. Spotify is expanding its prompted playlist feature to include English speaking podcasts. So premium users are going to be able to generate auto updating AI driven podcast mixes playlists. That's that sort of thing using just natural language prompts. Google has launched a limited edition Japan only pixel 10 a in a sigh blue created with experimental music label Herald Boney to celebrate 10 years of pixel. It includes a deeper blue hue as you might a gig of guest artists design wallpapers and icons bundled stickers and a blue bumper case and it'll set you back 94,900 yen. Samsung earnings looking pretty good. Record forecast of 57.2 trillion one in Q one operating profit nearly triple its previous quarterly record. That's thanks to AI data center demand. As you can imagine that's stretched memory supply push DRAM prices up by more than 50% for this quarter. Speaking of the sub reddit thanks to RW Nash for submit and this one there a researcher named chaotic eclipse has leaked working exploit code for the unpatched blue hammer windows zero day exploit exposing all supported windows versions to the local privilege escalation flaw. No fix yet coming but at least you can now look at that code if you're a security researcher which you might not have been able to get your hands on it before. Suppose so. Nitsa closed its probe into Tesla's actual smart summon remote parking feature after finding 159 minor low speed crashes that's out of millions so very small number of uses happened when drivers lacked full visibility of the vehicle's surroundings when they chose to activate the feature. Google's rolling out a new playback speed control in Google photos on Android. It'll let you change your video speed between 0.25 X so slowed down up to 2x from the menu while you're viewing it so it's easier to get to. Yeah it's non-destructive you can just do it on the fly. All right we end every episode of DTNS with some shared perspectives and if you want to know who still uses Samsung messages well Ben knows. Yeah Ben shared the secret with us. He knows. It's Ben. Ben wrote I heard on DTNS 52 41 that Samsung is finally shutting down messages I actually had to go back to messages last November as there was what seems to be an incredibly isolated but devastating bug in Google messages. If a specific contact who is on iPhone messaged me it made my S22 Ultra lock up into a boot loop instantly. I tried deleting all the history fresh installs factory resets nothing helped before I had isolated the issue I thought my S22 was dying. I upgraded to the Z Fold 7 which I love and don't regret but the issue followed me there. The only fix I could find was switching to Samsung messages or other third party non-feature rich messaging apps. That's who is still using Samsung messages on current phones. It is pretty limited but it works. I've just reinstalled Google messages and I'm hoping updates have fixed the issue. That is so bizarre. It's got to be an RCS thing right. I guess so but I mean he even deleted the history like what like that's why I think it's an RCS mismatch that is just coming up with that particular user right so it's something in the interaction between his account and that account and RCS and the way RCS is processed because Messenger doesn't have that so that could explain it but yeah Ben write back and let us know if you actually are able to succeed in using Google messages or not we're actually curious to find out. Super curious yeah. What do you think about this or anything else we talk about on the show?

As we get close to the nearest point to the moon and farthest point from earth as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on earth and that's love. Christ said in response to what was the greatest command that it was to love God with all that you are and he also being a great teacher said the second is equal to it and that is to love your neighbor as yourself and so as we prepare to go out of radio communication we're still able to feel your love from earth and to all of you down there on earth and around earth we love you from the moon.
