Founder Mocks VCs Who Dismissed Scaling Laws
An AI founder contrasts 2023 VC bets on SaaS tools with the rise of frontier models.
Anjney Midha posted that investors in south bay mansions spent 2023 claiming scaling laws were not real while funding SaaS and dev tools. He described those bets as dinosaurs before the asteroid. signulll replied in agreement. Joseph Suarez countered that the original Anthropic team consisted of people who left OpenAI and that much of that ideology remains at the company.

Anjney Midha@AnjneyMidhait was absolute cinema to watch these investors in their south bay mansions in 2023 opining ad nauseum abt how scaling laws weren't real and instead plowing money into saas/dev tools that openai and claude could spit out in an hour dinosaurs before the asteroid hit

JS Joseph Suarez 🐡@jsuarez@signulll No it isn't. Original Anthropic was all the nutcases leaving OpenAI, and a lot of that ideology is demonstrably still there
