Wow, that's a bad answer from Claude. I looks like it cited half a dozen publications who all pretty much just copied and pasted the same tiny fragment of quote from each other.

Note that I'm not denying he said those things, just that I don't think there's a credible path from a couple of sentences in that one interview on Tuesday to headlines like "Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are both walking back AI jobs apocalypse predictions".

(It's amusing to me how many people accuse me of "hype" while simultaneously being quite happy to consume hyped headlines that match their priors.)

Hype or not, you can't seem to confirm or deny either. So, again...
