Does Anthropic currently have cybersec people able to provide a standard assessment of the kind the community expects?

This could be a corporate move as some people claim, but I wonder if the cause is simply that their talents are currently somewhere else and they don’t have the company structure in place to deliver properly in this matter.

(If that is the case they are not then free of blame, it’s just a different conversation)

I throw Anthropic under the bus a lot for their lack of engineering acumen. If they don't have a core competency like engineering fully covered, I'd say there's a near 0% chance they have something like security covered.

What makes you think they lack engineering acumen?

The hot mess that is Claude Code (if you multi-orchestrate with it, it'll start to grind even very powerful systems to a halt, 15+ seconds of unresponsiveness, all because CC constantly serializes/deserializes a JSON data file that grows quite large every time you do stuff), their horrible service uptime compared to all their competitors, their month long performance degradation their users had to scream at them to get them to investigate, the fact that they had to outsource their web client and it's still bad, etc.

You seem to have a personal emotional investment in Anthropic, what's the deal?

You're coming in so very hot, you should take a second look at your response. If you think calling out public well documented failings and things I've wasted time debugging and work around during my own use of the product is arrogance and narcissism, you've got some very warped priors.

If you think I'm arrogant in general because you've been stalking my comment history, that's another matter, but at least own it.

Just based on your two comments above. You should paste this convo into an LLM of your choice and I bet it would explain to you what I mean. ;)
