That's just those of us with longer memory holding the AI companies to the standards they declared themselves. Nobody forced Sam Altman to blab about a team of pocket PhDs, did they? I don't want the crap that does it correct 60℅ of the time - where is the god damn nation of PhDs in a datacemter already? Where is the AI doing all the SWE work "in 3-6 months"?

You want the AI that's doing all the SWE work in 3-6 months? Somehow I doubt that.

No buddy, not me. Dario Amodei however, keeps announcing it every about 6 months, on the dot. Last time i January this year. So I just want them held acccountable to their own statements. Otherwise if they would be untrue, that is at best incompetence, and at worst investor fraud. Both should draw serious consequences, given the ungodly sums which are burnt into these pipe dreams.
