confused why everyone is upset at anthropic

we always knew they were an evil megacorp. this is why i’m a shareholder

@beffjezos Yeah, and it sure pissed off a lot of people:

@beffjezos @vincentweisser Very Soviet Union

@beffjezos I think the stronger version is: even if Anthropic is sincere, the structure still matters. When the same company builds the model, defines “safe,” and sets the vocabulary everyone else has to use, that’s institutional power.

@vikhyatk Anthropic be moving like arasaka

@beffjezos The next GPT model will mog Fable

@beffjezos Many companies start behaving in anticompetitive ways when they perceive they have a commanding lead. This has happened many times in technology but most have jumped the shark too early and kneecapped themselves.

@vikhyatk By far the most coherent defense of Anthropic's choices today

@vikhyatk it's not really something i find particularly funny

@beffjezos EA's are all terrorists

@beffjezos its like they ruined it for themselves, i was really rooting for Anthropic up until now but i am super skeptical about them

@beffjezos That’s in their DNA, always has been. Problem is, they got market share by solving the right problem…

@vikhyatk I always tried to bring down Arisaka corp tho -- that said they probably make the most money, EAs after all are like that

@beffjezos I can sum up the last 24 hours of the timeline as: Anthropic has overtaken OpenAI but lost the Mandate of Heaven.

@beffjezos This is the way Anthropic has always been and will always be. "You can do anything with our models (that we let you. But at the end of the day remember we are the arbiters of truth. We determine whether science is moving too fast or your business is making too much money.)"

@beffjezos Anthropic is evil.

@vikhyatk You only hold entitlement unless you put those shares in your name. Another layer of obfuscation, you don’t own any stocks in the stock market. It’s an entitlement system. If you want to own a real share, you need to register in your name, withdraw it from dtcc.

@beffjezos All part of their ritual to obtain more power. Cause chaos, use chaos to justify more control, repeat.

@beffjezos Anthropic is playing 4D chess. They know enterprises don't want the most capable model they want the least risky one. As AI enters highly sensitive sectors, Anthropic's edge will become obvious.

@vikhyatk Being treated as a retarded monkey is pretty annoying.
