> Claude may or may not be able to finish the job. You won't know until you try.

Yes, it’s weak evidence. Not proof. That is why I was quite explicit about what it has and hasn’t accomplished.

In my time with it, Claude seems fine at finishing up projects. And I’ve done enough reverse engineering to have a reasonably firm understanding of the outstanding work. I predict that Claude will have no problem finishing this up with some more guidance and tokens. You can of course have your own opinion, but I think it’s a bit much to claim I’m suffering from ai psychosis for having this expectation of its capabilities.

Not knowing you, I would not claim that you are suffering from AI psychosis. You seem to imply that I have made such a claim, but I have not.
