Why the conviction moved

  Strengthened +3

  A Johns Hopkins astrophysicist who also works at Anthropic says Claude Science agents merged six datasets in days to assemble a full-sky ultraviolet map. About a third of the map is predicted rather than observed, and blind tests put those predicted regions within about 10% of real measurements. This is agent-run scientific work with a quantitative validation step, though the result comes from Anthropic itself and still needs independent confirmation.

  Strengthened +3

  An independent researcher used Claude Code to flag a 1.4-Earth-radius planet candidate around TIC 4206066, with a 3.18-day period, in years-old TESS data. The candidate survived 74 falsification tests run by the agent, and NASA approved follow-up. Agent-run analysis is producing discovery candidates that institutions act on, though this one is not yet a confirmed planet.
