jd_pressman · x · 2026-09-09
A viral X "rumor" that Anthropic has solved causal and extremal Goodhart and will announce it at its IPO is clearly satirical, complete with jokes about needing 90% of compute for three decades and dreading being scooped. It pairs with an even more absurd quoted version about peptides that grow animal ears — an AI-circle in-joke around Anthropic's IPO expectations, not real news.
