    The same is true of humans, and so the argument fails to demonstrate anything interesting.

    I'm pretty sure at this point more than half of Anthropic's new production code is LLM-written. That seems incompatible with "these agents are not up to the task of writing product…

    It's pretty surprising that we don't have a good idea of how one of the most common (classes of) disease in the world spreads. This reviews the literature and does a bit of synthes…

    I have no idea what you think you're responding to. I use LLMs frequently in both professional and personal contexts and find them extremely useful. I am making a different, more s…

    They don't currently claim to confidently believe that existing models are sentient. (Also, they did in fact give it the ability to terminate conversations...?)

    I don't really know what evidence you'd admit that this is a genuinely held belief and priority for many people at Anthropic. Anybody who knows any Anthropic employees who've been …
