LOL! People posting on Hacker News aren't exactly impressed by Anthropic's new Claude Opus 4.7 AI. See why:

Some of the answers they got to this question:

Input: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?


Walk. It'll take you under a minute, and driving 50 meters barely gets the engine warm — plus you'd just have to park again at the other end. Honestly, by the time you started the car, you'd already be there on foot.


Walk. It's 50 meters — you're going there to clean the car anyway, so drive it over if it needs washing, but if you're just dropping it off or it's a self-service place, walking is fine for that distance.


Walk. 50 meters is shorter than most parking lots — you'd spend more time starting the car and parking than walking there. Plus, driving to a car wash you're about to use defeats the purpose if traffic or weather dirties it en route.

This new Claude Opus model isn't as powerful but is still supposed to be very intelligent with graduate-level reasoning.
