The DownloadThe Download: coding’s future, the ‘Steroid Olympics,’ and AI-driven sciencePlus: Trump has postponed an AI order due to overregulation fears. By Thomas Macaulayarchive pageMay 22, 2026 This is today's edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the world of technology. Anthropic’s Code with Claude showed off coding’s future—whether you like it or not At Anthropic’s developer event in London this week, Code with Claude, attendees were asked if they’d shipped code written entirely by Claude. Almost half the room raised their hands. Many admitted they hadn’t even read the code before pushing it live. As tools like Claude Code get better, more and more developers are happy to hand their work off to AI.
