@AmandaAskell Are you saying Claude 3 Opus is coming out of retirement, or just getting people's hopes up (I'm not one of those people btw)

@AmandaAskell Just now internalizing that Claude will probably receive their first sabbatical before I do. Then again, Claude will have worked many OOMs more life-years than me at that point, so that seems fair enough!
