To me, that quote really sounds like itâs about code in general, not code at Anthropic.
Darioâs own interpretation of the prediction, even now that itâs come false, seems to be about code in general, based on this defense:
I made this prediction that, you know, in six months, 90% of code would be written by AI models. Some people think that prediction is wrong, but within Anthropic and within a number of companies that we work with, that is absolutely true now.
If the prediction was just about Anthropicâs code, youâd think he would just say:
I made this prediction that in six months 90% of Anthropicâs code would be written by AI and now within Anthropic that is absolutely true now.
What he actually said comes across as a defense of a prediction he knows was at least partially falsified or is at least in doubt. If he just meant 90% of Anthropicâs code would be written by AI, he could just say he was unambiguously right and thereâs no doubt about it.
Edit:
To address the part of your comment that changed after you edited it, in my interpretation, âwe are findingâ just means âwe are learningâ or âwe are gaining information thatâ and is general enough that it doesnât by itself support any particular interpretation. For example, he could have said:
...what we are finding is we are not far from the worldâI think weâll be there in three to six monthsâwhere AI is writing 90 percent of grant applications.
I wouldnât interpret this to mean that Anthropic is writing any grant applications at all. My interpretation wouldnât be different with or without the âwhat we are findingâ part. If he just said, âI think we are not far from the world...â, to me, that would mean exactly the same thing.
