This is not an outage, Claude just gets lazier on Fridays.

Sometimes Claude wants more lunch breaks, takes a half day and leaves the desk early just like any human would. (since AI boosters like comparing LLMs to humans all the time) /s

If you're concerned about humans anthropomorphizing AI models, you might want to steer well clear of Anthropic, as their entire positioning (starting with the product name and continuing with UX choices and model releases) is built to attract the kind of researchers who are prone to believe in sentient machines.

They are going in the "Claude is alive" direction already and that line of communication is likely going full throttle in the nearby future.

I suspect the next big marketing gimmick is this supposed leak about capybara. I suspect the leak is intentional and meant to influence their expected IPO.

I think the big reveal is going to be that frontier models are no better than the open source models that you could feasibly run on retail hardware however they have a highly complex harness behind the API where the magic is.

		I think we're talking about two very different things. I don't think that Anthropic's anthropomorphizing is a marketing gimmick. It would be less concerning if it was.

I had my agent set up a "team" of subagents directed to different parts of a big new app (UX Engineer, test lead, etc) . Apparently the Senior SWE had reduced the scope, and my PM came to me trying to argue the side of the SWE that had reduced the scope for time constraint reasons...

It went a bit too deep into the role-playing bit.

You joke, but I think that's a fair summary of why people don't mind one 9 of uptime in a key component of their development workflow.
