Go look at open job listings at anthropic and the interview process. You aren’t allowed to use AI during coding assessments[0], or knowledge assessments, which suggests they very much do need and value hard skills and this is fluff. [0] -

There is a solution, it is regulating social media companies to stop abusing their users, and by extension, children. strict laws around adtech and tracking tech. more consumer rights, in other words - that’s why this solution comes off as
