You caught us!... and turns out "we don't have all the data" isn't exactly the pitch VCs want to hear

Jokes apart, I'd rather admit we are working with incomplete data than pretend otherwise. We are probably seeing 5-10% of what's actually happening out there. Most AI code bugs die quietly in projects that never see production. And it is perhaps better that way.

[not]Fun fact: A colleague just told me how a rogue claude agent ran `rm -rf ~/` in a background process earlier today. It might become #166 in our report.

Well I don't deal with VCs but from a technical perspective that's is an odd way to phrase it. The perfectly valid explanation in your response is what people the tech scene would expect but if this is a VC money grab then I guess you know your intended audience.

Turns out I'm not as good as joking as I think I am. The rest of the response, btw, that was legit.

Generally when you have incomplete data, it pays not to double down on your findings in the title.

Makes you look guilty. Which perhaps you are.
