Anthropic keep posting article after article about new ways their LLMs keep “surprising” them with unexpected behaviour.

In normal times, everyone would be wondering why they sound like they’re proud of obvious incompetence.
But since we’re in super-hype “keep the money coming, AGI is tomorrow” times, instead, those are used to sell the lie of mysterious superintelligence. Be enthusiastic, be scared, we don’t care, talk about it!
