Gary Marcus shares viral satire mocking Anthropic's 'SWE-bench first' path to curing cancer

Gary Marcus amplified a satirical all-hands sketch mocking Anthropic's cure-disease claims: the CEO announces curing cancer and Alzheimer's within a decade, then lists SWE-bench scores, 30-hour coding agent runs, and Terminal-Bench as the steps. An intern asks why they don't talk to disease researchers, noting the bottleneck is trials, wet lab time, and patient data—not PR merge speed. Marcus commented that people are now openly mocking Dario's rhetoric.
