IMO if Jarred wasn't literally working for Anthropic and using their tools to do the rewrite, the whole thing would've been much more well received. Imagine if he'd used Sol to do it (while working for Anthropic – impossible of course), or GLM 5.2, etc.

Instead, since he does work for Anthropic, it just looks like a big marketing gimmick that was going to be done whether it was the right thing to do or not.
