alt Hacker NewsThat AI would be writing 90% of the code at Anthropic was not a "failed prediction". If we take Anthropic's word for it, now their agents are writing 100% of the code:

Of course you can choose to believe that this is a lie and that Anthropic is hyping their own models, but it's impossible to deny the enormous revenue that the company is generating via the products they are now giving almost entirely to coding agents.

I wish one of those agents was smart enough to notice that their github-action which auto closes issues is broken: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16497. Then maybe we could get some of these bugs fixed.
One thing I like to think about is: If these models were so powerful why would they ever sell access? They could just build endless products to sell, likely outcompeting anyone else who needs to employ humans. And if not building their own products they could be the highest value contractor ever.
If you had midas touch would you rent it out?
