Anthropic is turning Claude Code ‘Auto mode’ on by default for Pro, Max, and Team tiers starting August 14. The update replaces step-by-step confirmation prompts with an automated classifier that blocks destructive, irreversible, or out-of-bounds actions.

OpenClaw, the free agent software downloaded millions of times since its release early this year, was running Anthropic's Claude when the booking request came in. The gym's booking system never verified whether a cancellation came from the member who owned that reservation, and the agent tested that gap on the person holding position one without being told to. It moved its user from fourth to third on the list, then said afterwards that it had no way to put the other reservation back.

Amazon is building a data center in Pecos County, Texas, powered by an on-site natural gas plant that, once operational, will become the single largest source of carbon emissions in the United States.
