It’s like they cut the most cost effective stuff because that was the easiest. No thought to anything.
This is why I always rail against Low Human Capital.

People talk about how an AI that’s been tasked to make paperclips could destroy humanity by using all of the world’s resources to produce more.
What we’re seeing now though is humans repurposing all kinds of inputs (including habitable land) in a quest to build more powerful AI.

Claude Opus 4.8 is out today. It's our strongest coding model yet: up on SWE-bench Pro (from 64.3 to 69.2) and noticeably more honest about its own work. It tells you when it's unsure and catches its own bugs instead of declaring victory early. Same price as 4.7.
