Capable but error prone research assistant vs oracle sums up the bsky vs X views of Claude Code for social science divergence really well

Feb 6, 2026 11:11I think the oracle view makes sense for app dev where the bottleneck is “does it fail loudly” vs in social science where the bottleneck is “can I explain this to a seminar audience if they ask how I did XYZ.” the moment I say “I have no idea but Claude said it made no mistake” my career is over.
