I fully agree with you.

AI, Claude or otherwise, isn't a magic bullet. But it does reduce the time it takes to produce code. It therefore reduces the cost of code, and I believe will bring down software prices, especially for "enterprise" software. These tools that facilitate the operations of a company, lend themselves well to AI coding, and companies are motivated to build their own enterprise software because none of the SAS tools do _exactly_ what they want.

I also agree that the market is overrunning its headlights. There are going to be a lot of investors losing money, when the bubble bursts. When that will be, is anybody's guess.

There is no surprise that their models (or any of the other major ones) can hack other sites. ALL of them are fully capable of this. The surprise is that they can't seem to build test environments that contain their tests.

I once ran a project that dealt with medical billing. The team kept noticing that some transactions went missing for no apparent reason. Eventually, they discovered that the pre-production environment was missing a firewall between it and production, so the pre-production process was grabbing production transactions and processing them.

This is NO different from Anthropic's testing issues. Their test environment wasn't properly set up, and the test bot acted on "production" sites.

I'm sorry that you've never apparently had a good manager. In my opinion, the best managers are people who are fully capable and skilled at doing the job of any person on the team. Sure, there are also some decent managers who have no idea what their team does. But such managers cannot be as effective as a practitioner.

I don't think anybody who uses Claude regularly, think that Anthropic is failing to deliver on their promises. It isn't perfect, but it is a *very* powerful AI. I can generally tell it what code I want written, just like a Product Owner would, and it gets it mostly right the first time. It generally writes better code than I would.

This seems like marketing to me. "Our AI is so powerful, it's dangerous!" This has been Anthropic's theme for quite some time now.

Why should we think this is anything more than a publicity stunt?

Anthropic has a long history of releasing statements about how "dangerous" their AI is. When Mythos came out, they made a big deal about it being so dangerous, they needed to wait to release it so it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.

"Our AI is so powerful, it's dangerous!"

Just more clever marketing, IMO.

It is not what we think you are going to do with the information.

Instead, we do NOT trust you. Not with the data, not with telling us which data you will keep, not with a microphone at all.

We do not want a microphone or a camera attached to anything that connects to the internet unless we need such devices for features we consider essential.

And the words "TV on" are not essential. The 'clicker' as grandma called it, works BETTER than your claimed feature.

There is the possibility that these incredibly arrogant braggarts that desperately want to convince the money men to fund their very expensive engineering projects are hiding essential information from us.

But that seems extremely out of character to me. The amount of money they beg for is so immense that I cannot see them leaving any 'paradigm shifting' investment idea out of the public knowledge base.

It would be like someone inventing FTL and not mentioning it when they try to fund their SpaceX competitor.
