"A report was recently published by an AI-research company called Anthropic. They are the ones who notably created Claude, an AI-assistant for coding. Personally, I don’t use it but that is besides the point."

Not sure if the author has tried any other AI-assistants for coding. People who haven't tried coding AI assistant underestimates its capabilities (though unfortunately, those who use them overestimate what they can do too). Having used Claude for some time, I find the report's assertions quite plausible.

The author’s arguments explicitly don’t dispute plausibility. It accurately states that mere plausibility is a misleading basis for this report, but that the report provides nothing but plausibility, and thus is of low quality and dubious motivation.

Anthropic’s lack of any evidence for their claims doesn’t require any position on AI agent capability at all.

Think better.

What is the proper way to disclose evidence for this class of hacking?

Starting with an isolated POC showing the vector being exploited would help. I like gooogle project zero mainly for this.
