Why is it like this. What's wrong with Anthropic and what's wrong with people _not_ getting incredibly angry at that unearned smartass.
Well there are in a business of selling you quote ubquote, intelligence, so it does what they want it to do: imply intelligence, which for me is just an illusion. But on the other hand this is what politicians and other conmen are doing? Using a lot of words and say nothing of value?
