    I'm getting tired of the marketing.

    There are so many people involved on this yet we still say things like "Claude did", we need to start waking up and being more real about how we are still in "AI + Human" land.

    What's wrong with saying "A team of researchers backed by Anthropic using Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats" or, ffs, mention the lead researcher in the headline?

      If it requires humans in the loop it throws cold water on the hopes of replacing millions of jobs, which is priced into their current valuation.

        eh, farming still requires humans in the loop, only <1% of the number that it used to

          OpenAI/Anthropic have never pitched themselves as a replacement for farmers. They do explicitly say that they're going to cause significant job loss in knowledge work sectors all the time.
