deckard @slimer48484 · 18h [embedded card:] Science Hey guys sorry we fucked up cybersecurity so badly, anyway we're trying something else now Aug 18, 2026 [image of nine protein-structure ribbon diagrams arranged to spell "ANTHROPIC", each labeled with a target protein and binding affinity:] Nipah G, Kᴅ 53 nM TREM2, Kᴅ 4 nM TrkA, Kᴅ 540 nM IL-7Rα, Kᴅ 3.6 nM IL-7Rα, Kᴅ 550 nM EGFR, Kᴅ 1.7 μM VEGF-A, Kᴅ 1.6 μM TREM2, Kᴅ 1.1 nM BHRF1, Kᴅ 4.2 nM Caption: Nine experimentally confirmed de novo protein binders designed by Claude — design models shown with their targets, then on their own
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A deadpan/satirical tweet with a mock 'Science' headline joking that Anthropic, after cybersecurity failures, is now trying protein design instead, illustrated with a genuine-looking diagram of nine de novo protein binders (each ribbon structure shaped to spell out the letters of 'ANTHROPIC') designed by Claude, with real-looking binding affinity (Kd) values for targets including Nipah G, TREM2, TrkA, IL-7Rα, EGFR, VEGF-A, and BHRF1. Posted deadpan, register ambiguous between joke and genuine research announcement.
