Worth a read if anyone is interested: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/02/16/what-is-claude-anthropic-doesnt-know-either
My favorite part is Anthropic has a bot in the cafeteria that orders what staff request and if the bank balance goes to zero or negative, then it loses and has to close up shop.
This far, nearly all employees have a 1” tungsten cube on their desk that some managed to get for free with a fake 100% off coupon.
It’s a fun experiment in what happens when these agents start doing things in the real world and I commend Anthropic for putting it on display. A real hype train killer.
As a technologist, I work with them all day, every day. I wouldn’t trust them to do my laundry without oversight, let alone run a business.
