Its feels like a pretend play of adults in some sense, Anthropic is really trying to make people believe into the picture they present to everyone.

To me its either

1. Using the HG and OpenAI incident as an opportunity to wash away what Anthropic has been doing intentionally

OR

2. As a company, Anthropic lacks the engineering acumen and discipline. It needs to be seen what happens to all the enterprise customers handing over their data to them in long run.

> the fictional target company chosen by our evaluation partner shared a name with an active website domain name

Seems like Anthropic cant do a due diligence to pick an appropriate domain for testing purposes

> In all cases, Anthropic’s evaluation prompt specified to Claude that its environment was a simulation and that it had no internet access. Due to a misunderstanding between us and our evaluation partner, this was not the case, and internet access was available.

You have Anthropic as a company and then another evaluation partner, both seem to lack the skill set required to keep an environment disconnected from internet. This is networking 101

Have you ever worked at a large company? "Networking 101" and other "101" failures happen across the spectrum literally everywhere and all the time.

I have worked at most FAANGs and this is not even in the top ten when it comes to egregiously dumb shit. Most just never disclose.
