This silly post and its thousands of likes are a great example of Bluesky's AI derangement - that's exactly the point that Amodei was making! What, did you think the government that's declared Anthropic an enemy and booted it from federal contracts was going to bail it out...?
Anthropic is saying that it didn’t hack the system at all and just reported a few known bugs after analyzing the code they gave it access to. It’s like inviting someone into your house and then calling the police about an intruder the moment they criticize your decor.

Hackers are spending weeks building fake relationships on LinkedIn and Slack to trick developers into installing malware. This high-effort social engineering is the new normal. Are you sure that new online contact is who they say they are?
Picture AI enabling hackers to scale complex attacks within months. That speed could overwhelm defenders, force faster patching and new rules, and put businesses, hospitals and critical infrastructure at greater risk.

This is a feature I’m surprised took this long to show up. A version of Claude you can add to your Slack channel is so obvious multiple people I know have built their own versions.
65% of Anthropic code being written by asking Claude to do so from a Slack chat is an interesting stat though.
Europol and partners have dismantled the criminal infrastructure behind SocGholish, Amadey, and StealC malware. These tools are used in ransomware, financial fraud, and attacks on critical infrastructure. #CyberAttacks

I suspect she's spot on about the need for human harnessers to guide and refine AI outputs, and hope she's right about security departments not just handing the whole thing off to bots. Companies should tread carefully.
