About this episode
Chris and Rod discuss recent tech news including data scraping accusations, supply chain breaches, and rising hardware prices.
his week Chris and Rod have follow up on Anthropic accusing Alibaba of launching a massive data-scraping and cloning attack against Claude, LastPass reacting to a supply-chain data breach at market intelligence firm Klue, and a multi-billion-pound iCloud lawsuit heading to trial in the UK that could net users £77 each. In the news, Micron suggests Apple's supply chain tactics helped trigger the current global memory price crisis, the FCC plans a strict ID mandate to kill off anonymous burner phones, and Microsoft's rivals queue up to tell the UK watchdog where the software giant hurt them. Plus, Anthropic surprises everyone with the official rollout of Claude 5.
