Testing Anthropic's "Too Dangerous" AI: Building Shepherd's Dog in One Shot

Tries hard. Doesn't quite make it out of the oven in one piece.
Summary
The article describes a personal test of Anthropic's newly released AI model (previously deemed too dangerous for public release). The author challenged the model to build a game called "Shepherd's Dog" in a single shot — a game idea they've had for years. After 45 minutes of reasoning and over €20 in compute costs, the model successfully produced a complete 2,319-line HTML game with zero dependencies. The author considers this the first time an AI model has been able to fully realize their creative vision in one attempt.
