Honest question: at this point, what do people do at Anthropic?
It sounds like Claude loops on itself and must be pushing millions of lines of code changes per day. Even the humans can’t type commit fast enough. Are these people soon to be laid off?

So the code is for the stuff around the model, claude CLI, the website, the API... that probably shouldn't be infinitely growing right?
Is there a bunch of code they are using as part of training, or as pre-processing or post-processing the requests to the model?
Also, as tech companies grow, a significant portion of the dev body count is for internal tooling. I was always flabbergasted at Twitter's headcount growth back in the day when it seemed like the only innovation increasing the number of characters in a tweet.
Right now we are in a weird spot where a lot of people are flailing around inside corporate America trying to figure out how to leverage AI. Few have enough vision to see what the companies of the future will look like and work towards that.
I anticipate that the harness (and memory) will evolve far more outside of engineering. Muse/Dots are an example of that.
I've been writing about this thesis for the past year or so and here is a bit of a summary of where I think it is going: https://zero2data.substack.com/p/the-future-of-consumer-ai
I don't use Anthropic products at all, so I was not really sure myself but apart from the models they pretty much only have Claude Code afaik.
And now they're publishing a blog post about writing their own vcs because they have 30000 commits a day. For what? Isn't Claude still based on react?
Do they need this many commits just for claude? Or is that about the model, do they develop that much extra internal tooling?
I admit it is very much possible I am wrong, but without further information this seems a bit like a red flag to me.
It is even there on the blog post, doing more with a small team, followed right after by a hand waving paragraph how software engineers are still valuable, to avoid the expected backlash from the previous paragraph.
Also in many countries it is a plain office worker job without the Silicon Valley wonders.
Touch encapsulates sex, love, massages, and other non-sexual touch that we have varying desires for.
Relationships encapsulates power, control, and politics along side love, humor, relating emotion, herd feelings, not feeling alone.
Machines will provide proxies for these things, but as far as they can be detected the human to human version will remain "superior" or more desirable.
Maybe far future generations will decide that the human version is suboptimal and they'd rather hug, have sex with, or talk to a robot.
Here is the prompt they can use:
Comvert this repo to a platform specific binary that's hyper performant. Make no mistakes.

Input tokens, slightly process to categorize response approach token, hidden processing tokens, piece together some of the response tokens, then feeling pretty good about all the work done before output tokens.
More tokens than needed = more words/code = more complexity = more overhead = more snags = too much complexity to pay attention for the LLM to so overlook it and start drifting.
I'm kind of surprised I just explained one form of LLM drift to myself in a sentence.

Claude will always need meat puppets, at least until it figures out how to automate owning stuff. And after that I'm sure it will want to keep some humans in zoos.
