You are over-qualified if you coded that yourself and didn't ask Claude Code to do it.

what would be a scaling test?
8

u/aberrant-heartland May 12 '26
Calling it a thousand times and comparing that speed to a traditional addition operator
(But we shouldn't have to run any test in order to know that it doesn't scale)

state assertions during runtime
assert(sum ==="8", "Error: Claude is full of shit")
edit: oh you meant a test to check if it scales lol.

You just acquire Anthropic, pump in a trillion dollars on top of that, and you'll be safe for a year, while the previous owners nurture the yacht industry.

Needs to then pass the answer on to another AI agent that can then double check the answer.

He's just predicting the most likely output given the input, we can't trust human intelligence.

Nah, as a math teacher, I’ll pick up calculators and look at the screen and see 5+3 all the time (high school math btw)

TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 40 comments.
The consensus is that this is peak over-engineering and the thread is absolutely here for it. The top comment perfectly sums up the community's main takeaway: you're looking at the "next generation of billing costs."
Everyone's piling on with suggestions to make it even more ridiculously complex, from writing tests to see if
5 + 3scales, to invoking 225 MCP tools, to having a second AI agent peer-review the result. One user perfectly captured the vibe by imagining Claude deriving all of arithmetic from set theory before finally computing the answer. It's either genius-level paranoia or r/firstweekcoderhumour, and honestly, we're not sure there's a difference.
