@beffjezos Pretty bold take but the real moat in frontier AI has been compute + data pipeline access, not researcher headcount. If they hold that, the "downfall" narrative is overblown.

@beffjezos This pushed it over the edge for me. Anthropic has always been woke and on an bad path, but this is monopolistic behavior. If they were to take a commanding lead, they would be and fully exploit their monopoly. They are not ethical capitalists. Concerning af.
