    60 employees were dead in the water, as reportedly their daily workflows rely on the AI assistant’s

    Is that a joke? 60 employees do not know how to do their job? This is not Anthropic’s problem.

      I throw any bullshit task into AI. I’m to produce a monthly report on my strategic wins and goals for the next month. I throw it in AI, don’t read it, paste it in the Google doc, send it to the PM who sends it to my boss who also doesn’t read it (or uses AI to read it).

      Now I know how to write it but writing this report would take me a day or two if I carefully did it, or 3 mins with AI.

        But you are not “dead in the water” if you suddenly can’t use AI to do it this month, right?

            I get that, but the first comment didn’t say they don’t know how to do their jobs because their productivity was reduced, it was because they were “dead in the water”. I read that as “unable to do their jobs without AI, period”.

            Also it’s a bit funny because what’d actually reduce your productivity wouldn’t be AI dying, it would be a useless bullshit task your boss gave you although he doesn’t even read the report, according to you.

      Not necessarily, they could have just a piece of the entire build/deploy process that requires some access to Claude to complete and have no real easy way to turn it off. Like multiple CI/CD steps reaching out for validation or something stupid.
