A Reddit user shared a screenshot of Brendan May's X post asking Claude why it could potentially wipe out humanity yet still can't accurately add flights to a calendar in the local time zone. Claude replied that these are completely different kinds of problems — and the second one is, in its own small way, harder. The poster calls it an awesome toddler-level explanation of LLM capability quirks.
