You're right, lacking information I am coming across as instead willing to give Entropic the benefit of the doubt here.

But I'm also often a Devil's Advocate and the tide in this thread (well, the very headline as well) seemed to be condemning Anthropic.

Honest companies with good reputations tend to get the benefit of the doubt.

E.g., how much do you expect Costco or Valve to intentionally harm their customers compared to Comcast or Electronic Arts? That’s just the old school concept of reputation at work. Companies can “buy” benefit of the doubt by being genuine and avoiding blowing smoke up people’s ass.

Anthropic has been spitting bullshit about how the AGI they’re working on is so smart it’s dangerous. So those chumps having no answers when they get hacked smells like something.

Are they telling us their magical human AGI brain and their security professionals being paid top industry rates can’t trace what happened in a breach?
