Based on my experience with these tools so far, this seems exactly the kind of subtle but extremely severe bug that sneaks in when you start piling up layers of AI generated patches to a codebase without caring too much about the code.

  It seems to be exactly the opposite, a "fully human error":

  Nothing to do with AI patches at all, nor was it a bug. It was intentional human behavior, a temporary rollout setting, that seems to have made sense.
  But I guess that doesn't fit the "narrative".

    "LLMize the succeses, humanize the failures." is the PR strategy at play here. Anything goes well it's because AI did it, anything goes bad it's because a human didn't catch it.

    Wow people are cynical here.
    No matter what happens to be the truth, HNers have a cynical narrative to fit it.

    People are just paying attention to what is happening the world.

    No, people seem to be adopting simplistic narratives and then slotting the facts wherever they most conveniently fit into their narrative.

    You say cynical but employees at these companies also lie just as much as their leaders. It's good to be skeptical of people that want to capture generational wealth while destroying the planet.
    People aren't cynical enough here.

    One thing I do know is that an Anthropic employee is definitely NOT going to blame this on the model they are using.

    I don't understand what you are talking about. Vibecoding IS a human error.
