Stanford prof Kundaje: a smoothly running auto-orchestrator is a big unlock

Stanford professor Anshul Kundaje responds to the attribution critique: he found the post as authentic as one can get about what was actually done — worth applauding given the current state of affairs, and non-trivial work. While this iteration isn't there yet, he argues a smoothly running automated orchestrator is a big unlock, is high priority for Anthropic, and will improve rapidly — it democratizes what experts can do, a value that shouldn't be underestimated.
