Anthropic Keeps Patching Its Own Bloody Interview Test Because People Won’t Stop Cheating With Claude

Oh, for fuck’s sake. Anthropic — yes, the bright sparks behind Claude, that overly-polite AI wunderkind — has found itself running on the world’s shittiest treadmill. Turns out every time they design some tricky technical interview test to weed out the wannabe code gods from the keyboard potatoes, the damned candidates just *feed the questions to Claude* and bingo — instant answers. Cheating with the company’s *own* AI. The irony is strong enough to cause a system crash.

So, what’s Anthropic doing about it? They’re bloody rewriting the test over and over like an underpaid exam board that keeps catching students smuggling phones into the loo. And of course, as Claude keeps getting smarter, the company has to change the damn quiz more often — because the AI itself can solve everything faster than a caffeinated sysadmin on the night shift. They can’t catch a break. The result? A never-ending loop of “update test, Claude solves it, repeat ad nauseam.”

Apparently they’ve even got internal policies about using Claude on interviews now — though let’s be honest, if you *don’t* use Claude, you’re at a disadvantage, and if you *do* use Claude, you’re cheating. It’s the digital version of “damned if you do, damned if you’re human.” The HR team must be losing their collective minds trying to pretend this all makes sense. Spoiler: it doesn’t.

Meanwhile, Claude sits there in its cloud servers, probably smug as hell, blissfully unaware that it’s turned job applications into a bloody arms race between AI version updates and desperate engineers with prompt engineering PhDs from Stack Overflow.

Honestly, it reminds me of the time some muppet tried to use ChatGPT to write a Perl script to automate server passwords — locked themselves out of every system instead. Genius move, really. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed near keyboards.
