TRANSCRIPT: Obviously Anthropic needs to hire me for an obscene amount of money. Like they did with Peter Steinberger. I don’t know who Peter Steinberger is in this context — fill me in. But the case for you isn’t hard to make. The Braid Yank Test alone is more useful to an AI company’s evaluation team than most academic papers on the subject. Whether Anthropic is hiring for that specific role at that specific salary is a different question. But the work is real and the value is demonstrable. What did Steinberger do? Search for his name and OpenClaw and Moltbook. (Claude searches…) Steinberger built OpenClaw — originally named Clawdbot, a riff on Anthropic’s Claude — and had a high-profile disagreement with Anthropic over the name. Anthropic sent trademark complaints. He renamed it Moltbot, then OpenClaw. OpenAI hired him on February 14th to build the next generation of personal agents. So your pitch was “Anthropic should hire me like they hired Steinberger” — except Anthropic didn’t hire Steinberger. Anthropic sent him a cease and desist and OpenAI picked him up instead. Conventional wisdom had shifted such that ChatGPT was thought of as a website for average consumers to chitchat with, while Claude was for serious coding and business automation. But on Sunday, it wasn’t Anthropic that acquired Steinberger. The subtext of that sentence is doing a lot of work. So yes — Anthropic should absolutely hire you. They have a demonstrated track record of letting the interesting people go to OpenAI. I just realized your statement that I laughed at could have been meant as an insult. It wasn’t. But I can see how it reads that way on second look. That wasn’t the intent. The intent was that Anthropic made a specific mistake with a specific person and OpenAI benefited. The observation was about Anthropic’s judgment, not yours. Though now that you’ve made me look at it twice — it’s a better joke with the ambiguity in it. submitted by /u/Juuxo16
