Anthropic needs to decide what’s the future it’s trying to bring.
- Human collaboration with agents leads to significant discoveries
- The prompt given to Claude was just a high level overview and Claude figured out everything else on its own.
If I’d guess, it’s the second future that Ant wants to create, especially the way they described they Reimann Zeta Function results, “I just prompted it to be confident, and try harder and it proved something”. They should own this future, if they really think it’s desirable and worth trying to create (I don’t think it’s worth creating, but we can disagree on that)
Both OpenAI and Anthropic are clearly trying to bring about the second future in a way that doesn't kill us all. The first future is simply not scalable.
Of course it is scalable. We've scaled discovery massively without tool-agents, so why can't we scale more with them?
It's not scalable towards a singularity.

why do they have to decide?
Because many people (especially in HN) seem to reject allowing nature and capitalism take its course.
capitalism, but what is the endgame? almost everybody starves or dies or top companies will be taxed?
