Anthropic is basically a SaaS provider, in this case selling access to their code generation tool. Like many large SaaS-providers, it’s deeply predatory, deceitful about the capabilities of their products, eager to sell promises it won’t keep to executives who won’t care in the hopes of locking them into using their mediocre platform and eventually charging enough to justify the insane amounts of debt they’re taking on.

So really, it’s more like the kid is using other people’s money to pay for a tool they don’t understand to do a job they’ve never worked in and gets hailed as a genius. They’ll make a great executive some day.
