alt Hacker NewsI see a lot of these posts on Reddit, too, but I don't think it's actually Anthropic or Claude doing it. It's the same old Reddit karma farmers picking up on the latest trends. They've always combined headlines with ragebait to build karma and now LLM bots make it easier than ever.
It's too bad Reddit allows accounts to hide their comment history now. That was an easy way to identify bot accounts before they started allowing accounts to hide their post history

That is a pity but on the bright side it also helps people to avoid being stalked and harassed.
I think it probably is claude and anthropic. It kicked off in earnest towards the end of last year when "AI bubble" news stories peaked.
They're incredibly exposed to investor sentiment and were likely panicking around sept/oct/nov time when AI bubble stories were trending.
These posts were really consistent and repetitive - similar language about "scary good" models and fear of losing jobs.
