It's just negligence. Power tools injure and people are stupid. The technology is alluring and people make dumb mistakes. There's no deeper motive here, and self admitting you're not even an amateur I will just tell you that you're giving way less credit to these models than they deserve by calling them purely probabilistic, and way more credit then they deserve by trying to assert some kind of malicious incentive by anthropic.
These bastards are hard to make, and they have a lot of layers (not like NN layers, but training steps). They are, however, definitely better at programming than you or your buddy or any commentator here, and it lures you into a false sense of security before it makes a colossal fuck up.
