GoKawiilEx-Anthropic staffer says colleagues claimed Claude had 'solved' humor
Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon told New York Magazine that colleagues at the company had internally declared they had 'solved humor' with a specially trained version of Claude, posting about it in a Slack channel. Coxon, who previously left Anthropic citing concerns the AI industry was 'gambling with our lives,' said he pushed back on the claim in the chat, finding it absurd. He also described broader 'groupthink dynamics' at the company and acknowledged, while downplaying, comparisons of Anthropic's culture to a cult.
