This is a fascinating glimpse into what product management at Anthropic looks like. It’s the two year vision for Claude from 2023.

1. Notable is that it explicitly calls out risk of negative societal impacts of the vision.

2. Assesses if they can achieve each vision in an increment manner.

3. They delivered on the vision of Claude the Cyborg. This is how I use Claude today.

Goodhart's law states when a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric.

This describes the phenomenon of companies creating leaderboards of AI token usage leading to tech workers racking up thousands of dollars in monthly spend on AI services to compete.

This is a temporary phenomenon that won’t last long. It’s like having a leaderboard of customers called for sales people. It might have been correlated with business value but is useless as a target.

In a survey of 1,000 hiring managers, 59% say they emphasize AI’s role in layoffs because it “is viewed more favorably by stakeholders than saying layoffs or hiring freezes are driven by financial constraints.”

Only 9% said AI had fully replaced any roles.

This article strikes at the heart of the weirdness in the software industry right now. Programmers making $200K+ are no longer writing code but instead simply supervising Claude Code which writes the code for them.

But instead of being afraid for their jobs, they are excited by how much more productive they are.

The Anthropic versus Pentagon conflict is at least three questions which the media skipped asking

1. Should a computer be able to kill people?

2. What’s an acceptable error rate for that computer given LLMs 5% hallucination rate?

3. Can the government force you to sell them your tech to kill?

The official statement from Caitlin Kalinowski, former head of robotics at OpenAI, about why she quit company.

Should a computer be able to kill people shouldn’t be framed as a tiff between Hegseth and Anthropic.

Days after OpenAI lost its VP of Research to Anthropic after making its deal with Pentagon to its AI models for “lawful” purposes, they are now losing another senior executive. This time there’s no ambiguity that it’s because Altman cut a deal with Hegseth to use their AI models to kill people and spy on Americans.

I’m glad I’m not on X because the debate that is being waged there about Anthropic versus the Pentagon is appalling. The post below, like others on X argues that national security should override Anthropic not wanting their AI being used to kill people.

This ignores the incredibly obvious point that LLMs are not reliable enough to make life or death decisions. They aren’t even reliable enough to summarize a blog post consistently. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Every time some practice doesn’t make sense from the war on drugs to how education is funded, Trump getting elected twice or the lack of universal healthcare, you can trace the roots back to racism.

When it comes to the impact of AI on jobs and the economy, I’m reminded that people overestimate what will happen in a year and underestimate what will happen in ten years.

The stock market similarly overreacted and then underreacted to the internet. Tech was overvalued in the late 1990s then crashed in the early 2000s, undervalued through to the early 2010s and now we have multiple trillion dollar tech companies in the 2020s.

The bet on the internet was right but the timeframe was wrong.

Props to @shanselman@hachyderm.io for writing about the elephant in the room in big tech.

AI coding tools increase senior engineer productivity while creating an “AI drag” for junior engineers who lack judgment or context to validate AI outputs.

Companies optimizing for the near-term output by reducing junior hiring, are undermining the future supply of experienced engineers. We likely need to move to apprenticeship like models in the future to give juniors experience.

I think two things are true.

1. There are real productivity gains from using AI and jobs being lost as less hiring is done due to usage of AI tools.

2. However the vast majority of the past year of layoffs are due to economic conditions and anticipation of AI productivity gains not actual cost savings from AI.

Americans really got bored with free trade, the best and brightest in the world wanting to come here, low corruption and childhood diseases like measles being eradicated.

I guess things are definitely less boring now. Worse, but also less boring.

Ramp’s data science team has published research showing businesses are replacing freelancers with AI. Two key findings

1. Spend on services like Upwork & Fiverr has dropped -80% as companies have shifted to spending on OpenAI & Anthropic’s tools. More than half of the businesses using freelancers in 2022 have stopped entirely.

2. AI is much cheaper. Each $1 of freelance spend is replaced by $0.03 of AI spend.

A genuine question I have is that as white collar work evolves over the next few years to telling an LLM to do your job and catching the 1%/5%/10%/etc where it hallucinates nonsense, how do you hire and train entry level people to do this?

I would love to figure out how to pitch companies to try.

Other countries are arresting people on the Epstein list, America decided to make its most frequent flier its president and is now going to give him a war with Iran as a distraction.

This is not a serious country.

A student decided not to work at a newspaper because of their use of AI and they just wrote up their processes.

Journalists no longer write articles. They research stories and interview people then their notes are turned into an article by AI which they review before publishing. They claim it’s saved them an entire workday per employee.

Note: This is how people are expected to work in Big Tech. This would be celebrated in FAANG.

Apple sitting out the AI race has given its stock price an essential feature; stability.

Tech stocks are experiencing wild swings as investors can’t decide if AI will kill SAAS businesses or big tech is overspending on AI.

Meanwhile Apple isn’t in any of these conversations as they’ve just focused on selling phones.

A CEPR study of 12,000 companies shows a 4% average AI productivity gain, but businesses under 50 employees saw negative impacts.

This matches my impression from work where getting the most from tools like Claude Code requires heavy data and software infrastructure that favors large companies.

Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic) refuse to hold hand’s at India’s AI impact summit.

A study of 12,000 European businesses shows that AI adoption has increased productivity by 4% without reducing employment in the EU.

Results also show that medium and large companies are seeing more productivity gains from AI than small ones. In effect, the rich are getting richer.

The U.S. government plans to create a website to host content that is banned in the EU so that European internet users can still view it.

For example, Germany bans Nazi content but now the U.S. government in the name of "free speech" will host that content so Germans can view it online despite it being banned in their country.

An incredible government y'all voted for.
