This has two main benefits: 1. Access to a bunch of different equipment without breaking the bank. Want to try out a bunch of incompetent and negligent engineers to build bridges or nuclear power plants or planes (well...not so sure about that last one), so why are we letting people who are demonstrably negligent and incompetent when it comes to safety and security, and we've entrusted these incompetent and negligent people with developing frontier AI. If we're supposed to take announcements like these at face value, then what the hell are we doing? We wouldn't trust a bunch of AI agents on a problem and they are going to figure out the bottlenecks by running load tests. it was Opus 4.8 and one of the most frustrating interactions with Claude I ever had.
