That’s how it sounds

Why everything they do sounds shady?

I'm not saying it's shady.

Being forward deployed engineer is to work with a particular business helping them out with the solution that your tech company du jour makes.

I didn't really get the impression that they work for Anthropic as it is a 12 month thing and then it's done. So you're not seen as something long-term, nor do you get one of those juicy tech salaries (which I'd assume is something that Anthropic pays if they see you as a long-term fit).

Whether you find that shady is up to you. I didn't even think that far ahead mate.

Probably because it is shady?

To express deeper subtlety and nuance for Anthropic's position, they are riding the wave of the announced destruction of the white collar class.

This is their way of justification and assuagement.

It is a noble sentiment, but also a token gesture.
