Seems like Anthropic has too much money on their hands and are looking for ways to spend it. It’s surprising to see lean AI startups accumulate fat so quickly. Usually this sort of wheel spinning is reserved for large corporations.
And it’s not just them. To me this trend screams “valuations are too high”, and maybe hints at “progress might start to stagnate soon”.
And yet they don't have the resources to let job applicants know when their application was unsuccessful. You just get an email after you applied saying: "We may not reach out unless we think you are a strong fit for the role you applied to. In the meantime, we truly appreciate your patience throughout our hiring process." They also tell you not to use AI in the application.
