He is probably referring to that exact thing.

Anthropic does a lot of these contrived "studies" though that seem to be marketing AI capabilities.

What would make it less contrived to you? Giving my assistant, human or AI, access to my email, seems necessary for them to do their job.

    No creating a contrived situation where the it's the models only path?

    "We deliberately created scenarios that presented models with no other way to achieve their goals"

    You can make most people steal if you if you leave them no choice.

    Um ok? never felt the need for an assistant myself but i guess you could do that if you wanted to.
