McG’s upcoming movie ‘Way of the Warrior Kid’ will hit Apple TV on Nov. 20 around the globe. The date for the pic which stars Chris Pratt, Linda Cardellini and Jude Hill was announced today at Apple TV Press Day in addition to the first look image, which can be seen below. The feature is based on the Jocko Willink novel. More details here: deadline.com/2026/02/way-of-…

Hurricane Polo has slightly moved over more extremely warm ocean water. Polo is exploding ... and T 8.0 (170-knots) or higher is on horizon. Calling this only "Category 5" does a disservice to the hyperscale power of Polo -- full tilt axisymmetric buzzsaw -- blow out!

We're counting the hours to host what I call the 'Oscars of Optimism' in Los Angeles, where we'll celebrate the winners of the Build with @GeminiApp XPRIZE & Future Vision @XPRIZE. What an incredible moment to be alive! THANK YOU to everyone who participated!

We're preparing the stage for the Oscars for Optimists. We wanted to thank everyone who participated in the Build with Gemini XPRIZE & Future Vision XPRIZE. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating the winners for both!

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has unveiled new legislation that would create a 20%-30% federal incentive for U.S. film and TV production: • The incentive, stacked with state tax credits, would potentially create the world’s most generous production subsidies. • “If it passes and it stacks clean, shooting in Georgia or California or New York is the best deal on the planet,” says Entertainment Partners’ Joe Chianese. “Nothing overseas comes close.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHNjK

Today we announced the Claude-led discovery of a molecular machine that we suspect could represent a new gene editing mechanism. Its precise function, biotechnological utility (if any), or level of significance is not yet clear, but at minimum it is work I would have been proud to do as a PhD student. The work was done mostly, though not entirely, by Claude: our life sciences team suggested a broad area of research, Claude read through the literature and a bunch of genome data and discovered something interesting, then Claude proposed experiments to verify the discovery and our team carried them out. It’s easy to dismiss this as a one-off or curiosity, but we’ve repeatedly seen a pattern where AI performance in new intellectual domains goes from weak to superhuman in a matter of a few years. In 2023 models struggled to do math at the level of an average high-school student. In 2024 they started to do well on math competitions for the best high-schoolers in the country, in 2025 they started to solve minor open problems, in early 2026 more significant open problems, and in late 2026 they are beginning to solve the top few open problems in all of mathematics. We believe AI for biology is on a similar exponential trend. The main difference between biology and mathematics, of course, is that math can be done purely theoretically, while biology requires experimentation. Some have used this to draw the conclusion that AI’s utility in biology will be limited. We think this is wrong. As we’ve demonstrated today, humans can collaborate with AI to perform the experiments, validate key results in a few weeks and, if necessary, work with the AI to iterate on what they find. Eventually it may even be possible for Claude itself to safely perform the experiments by autonomously controlling lab equipment, with appropriate safeguards in place, but we aren’t doing that today (our lab is also a BSL1/BSL2 facility that doesn't handle materials dangerous to humans). More broadly, biomedical advancement has many stages — from fundamental biology discoveries, to translational research, to drug discovery, clinical trials, and finally the actual delivery of medicines and health care to patients. We are also interested in these later stages, but even simply accelerating the first stage of fundamental biological discoveries has the potential to speed up and broaden the entire pipeline. Improving our understanding of biology and sharpening biologists’ tools can drive forward all of the later stages, for example by identifying new drug targets, finding new therapeutic modalities, allowing for more precise measurement, and speeding up the experimental loop which itself further accelerates our understanding of biology. This will not in itself speed up clinical trial times, but if it succeeds it could greatly increase the number of promising candidates that go into the pipeline — an increase in throughput even though latency remains. In Machines of Loving Grace, I wrote about AI’s potential to “cure most diseases in 5-10 years” — a goal that sounds impossible, but one I believe is just barely possible if AI is applied to every stage of the pipeline. The first step is showing that AI can first help with, and then drive, biological discoveries. Claude’s discovery is the latest in a line of related prior work that goes back decades, beginning with systems like CRISPR, and continuing with discoveries like the bridge recombinase and VIPR in the past few years. Recently, there has been heightened interest in systems based on reverse transcriptase (RT) enzymes, the enzyme underlying the system Claude identified. And most recently, a Stanford team working independently described a novel RT system with an associated non-coding array that is in some ways similar to the one Claude found, though they are distinct systems that evolved independently from each other. I believe that we’re at the very beginning of finding such systems and developing them into powerful tools for biotechnology. I’m proud of the resources Anthropic has invested in accelerating the public benefits of AI through the life sciences, and we’re aiming both to grow our life sciences team and to work with other scientists to extend this approach to a broad range of problems. If you have a proposal for a research collaboration or are interested in joining our life sciences team, please reach out.

BREAKING: Hurricane Hunters just measured an almost unbelievable 889 mb pressure inside Hurricane Polo. If that reading is confirmed, Polo would become the second strongest hurricane ever recorded in the eastern Pacific, behind only Hurricane Patricia in 2015. What makes this even more remarkable is how quickly Polo got here. The storm has intensified at an extraordinary rate, being only a tropical storm 24 hours ago. An 889 mb pressure is an exceptionally rare number in the eastern Pacific, putting Polo into truly historic territory. We are watching one of the strongest Pacific hurricanes ever observed unfold in real time.

Today, Pioneer Labs is announcing our first step towards terraforming Mars. 🚀🌼 With equipment that fits in just a single rocket launch, we can convert Martian dirt, water, and air into enough building materials to construct a small city on Mars. To do it, we made the first microbe for Mars. We found the best microbe on Earth and used evolution to teach it how to source all of its nutrients directly from Martian materials. The first astronauts will be greeted with safe shelter already filled with water, oxygen, and rocket fuel for the return journey. This is the first step toward using biology to make Mars a friendly place for life. It lets us live off the land and helps us build the next great frontier. It's the first of five organisms we need to green Mars ⬇️

We asked filmmakers around the world to show us an optimistic vision of the future that’s worth living for everyone (not a Terminator saga). 2,500 of them answered, and now this Friday in Los Angeles, the top 5 will pitch their visions to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Neal Stephenson, Rod Roddenberry, and Mira Lane.

Nike has officially announced its new partnership with the University of Miami. The deal includes UM joining Nike’s Blue Ribbon Program, which is “reimagining the NIL space by providing schools and athletes an unmatched level of collaboration that prioritizes the future of sport and athlete identity.”

Zach Cregger’s RESIDENT EVIL overperforms, making $8.8M in Thursday previews. It’s now on track for a $70M+ domestic debut, surpassing all former RE movies’ totals on its opening weekend.

Zach Cregger’s RESIDENT EVIL pre-sales have gone nuts since yesterday, with the movie now tracking for a $65M-$75M+ domestic debut. By far, the biggest opening in the RE franchise and in Cregger’s career.
