sorry how exactly did u guys think this was going to go? u thought Anthropic was going to build the infinity machine that can cure all diseases and prevent aging... and then let fucking Eli Lilly extract that and get the patent?

@inductionheads eh they like playing it safe. across a lot of domains from the amount of compute they acquired, to restrictions to throttle capability dissemination ect but they do have a lot of momentum, buzz, and relative demand at this point of time. pros & cons of that just feel diff🍎🍊
