After the CEO of Anthropic claimed "AI could surpass almost all humans at almost everything" by not much later than 2027, and I stopped laughing, I asked Claude what it thought.

Claude clearly can't overhype like a CEO can.

So far, the sabbatical has involved finishing off a whole bunch of admin tasks from pre-sabbatical, and starting work on three grant proposals. And freezing my butt off.

I'm on sabbatical in calendar year 2025. I've been a full-time academic since 1997 and have never really had a proper sabbatical. This will be weird.

The signal-to-noise ratio on Twitter is dropping, so I'm largely moving here. Expect some rants about software, safety, cats and HR.
