It's product bloat.

It's not recognizing that they are just one building block that should do one thing well, like tmux.

You don't need a computer display on your fridge for the same reason, but Anthropic think you do. You should see virtual ice getting created and they should correspond to the actual ice behind the door - think of how amazing that is!

And it's not even completely a bad idea. make it claude-code-react-beauty of some way to take it off, it would be far more palatable.

I love the idea of installing high resolution cameras in the fridge to monitor the ice maker to feed into a vision model that renders digital ice to the exact position of the real ice on the fridge’s giant screen
See this is the kind of things I hope I'd be doing when I'm retired, but not when I'm shopping.
Or you could... open the door and look inside.
Sounds like you've got a lot of time on your hands
What, like a poor?
Put a servo on the door and a camera on the front. Train a vision model to recognize when your eyes are looking at the door and automatically open it for you.

Another camera inside will detect when you are done and close it.

Think of all the gaze and marketing data we can extract and sell to third parties!
You mean like… a transparent door? Is that the joke?
