<p>When you like something and want it to succeed, it’s discouraging to see that thing waste its resources. Especially if you contributed those resources.<p>I never understood how this very simple position flies over certain heads.</p>

<p>The author’s arguments explicitly don’t dispute plausibility. It accurately states that mere plausibility is a misleading basis for this report, but that the report provides nothing <i>but</i> plausibility, and thus is of low quality and dubious motivation.<p>Anthropic’s lack of any evidence for their claims doesn’t require any position on AI agent capability at all.<p>Think better.</p>

<p>Wikipedia is fine for that.<p>My point is that “encyclopaedic information” is low-quality by necessity: there is no shortcut to truly expert information on a topic.<p>Too many have convinced themselves they can find expertise without joining an actual discourse of experts.</p>

<p>My appreciation of Wikipedia has decreased as my own expertise has increased. A long way before I’m anywhere near an expert on a topic, I begin to spot misleading inaccuracies in its Wikipedia articles. Most often, information that is decades out of date — correct once, but now actively perpetuating old, inaccurate information.<p>If you’re relying on Wikipedia for more than discovery, be aware that you’re internalizing some amount low-quality or false information along with your layman’s view of the topic.</p>
