Having listened to him give a couple of talks I am always struck by how much he talks and writes like Claude code.
I don’t think he farms out all of his writing and talking to LLMs. I don’t think Claude code was trained to emulate him or anything.
I think his “voice” has been filed LLM smooth by years of agent based interactions. He claims Anthropic engineers use an average of 500+ agents a day. They are human interfaces to token generators more than human to human communication. They are picking up the tendencies of their most frequent communication partner.
Unfortunately, I see Claude being wrong often enough that I view it as a faulty narrator. Often helpful, sometimes totally full of it.
And now I subconsciously apply this filter to anything that sounds like Claude.
Makes me nervous that my voice may be becoming that of a faulty narrators.
There might be some confusion on your part on just how much AI compute has been installed in the past few years in relation to the total amount of CPU compute and the speed at which it was installed.
If the CPUs life was an hour, the GPU AI accelerator would have been around 5 minutes and is around 5x larger in total compute.
It should not be underestimated in any way the scale of what is occurring.

What are they doing all day with that, I wonder?

LLMs are still a very new technology in relation to human timeliness. There is a whole lot of exploration to be done.
