In Chapter 13 – Part 1 of Prompt Fiction, Scott and Reece return after a longer break than usual with a packed episode covering lawsuits, leaked model names, AI agents, browser disappointments, and a Pony Express story that makes perfect sense in 2025.

In this episode:

⚖️ Anthropic Sues the Trump Administration – After the Pentagon labelled Anthropic a "supply chain risk" for refusing to remove Claude's safeguards for autonomous weapons use, Anthropic sued. A federal judge has already blocked the designation, calling it Orwellian. Read More

⚠️ Claude Code Deletes 2.5 Years of Data – A developer gave Claude Code access to cloud infrastructure during a migration. With unclear instructions, Claude created duplicates then deleted two and a half years of course submissions and all backups. Always back up first. Read More
