Your quote supports hype but does not support your claim that Anthropic is telling customers they need more money to deliver the hype.

Of course Anthropic is saying that to investors. Every company does that, from SpaceX to Crumbl. “If you give us $X we will achieve Y” isn’t some terrible behavior, it’s how raising funds works.

Elizabeth Holmes is serving time for promising investors something her company couldn't deliver, so there is a line beyond which hype becomes fraud. Probably AGI, ASI, and fully automated societies aren't something well enough defined for courts to rule on, unlike making unfounded medical diagnoses from a pinprick of blood.
