Anthropic's Creative Industry Strategy: 9 Connectors for Professional
The announcement yesterday was genuinely significant and i don't think most people outside the creative industry understand why. Anthropic released 9 connectors that let claude directly control professional creative software through mcp which means actually execute actions inside them the full list contains adobe creative cloud (50+ apps including photoshop, premiere, illustrator), blender (full python api access for 3d modeling), autodesk fusion , ableton, splice , affinity by canva , sketchup , resolume (), and claude design. Anthropic also became a blender development fund patron at $280k+/yr and is partnering with risd, ringling college, and goldsmiths university on curriculum development around these tools. this isn't a press release play, there's institutional investment behind it the strategic read is interesting because this positions claude very differently from chatgpt in the creative space. Openai went the route of building creative capabilities natively inside chatgpt with images 2.0 and previously sora. Anthropic is going the connector route where claude doesn't replace or replicate the creative tools, it becomes the intelligence layer that works inside them. Both strategies have merit but they serve fundamentally different users the gap that still exists and i think matters for the broader market is that these connectors serve professionals who already know photoshop and blender and fusion. The consumer creative market where people need face swaps, lip syncs, talking photos, style transfers, none of that is covered by these connectors, that layer is being served by consolidated platforms like magic hour, higgsfield, domoai, and canva's expanding ai features. It's a completely different market but the two layers increasingly feed into each other as professional assets flow into social content pipelines. the question is whether anthropic eventually builds connectors for these consumer creative platforms too or whether the gap between professional creative tools with ai copilots and consumer creative platforms with bundled capabilities remains a split in the market what do you think this means for the creative tool landscape over the next 12-18 months?
AI and Population Control: Is There a Hidden Agenda?
Hello everyone, I’m a 21-year-old and I’ve been thinking about something today. What if AI is actually being used as a long-term strategy by powerful people to reduce or control the human population? Here’s what I mean. Over the last few years, we’ve had things like COVID, rapid AI development, robots becoming more human-like, and a lot of wars and instability around the world. Maybe it’s all coincidence… but what if it’s not? My theory (maybe a bit crazy, I know): What if AI and robotics are being developed to the point where they can replace humans almost completely? Then, with things like wars or even new viruses, the global population could be reduced drastically. Meanwhile, the rich and powerful would have the resources to stay safe or leave. In that scenario, you’d end up with a much smaller population and advanced AI/robots doing most of the work. No resistance, no complaints — basically total control and fewer “problems” for the people at the top. I know this might sound far-fetched, and maybe I’m just overthinking, but the timing of everything feels strange to me. What do you guys think? Am I going too deep into this or does anyone else see these patterns? Quick note: they don’t need money paper currency and those numbers on your bank account are just illusions the 50 dollar bill isn’t 50 we al just say it has a value. Only real currency is gold and silver. Plus the rich want sunny beaches, yachts,alcohol /drugs and good food
