OpenAI is like #3 or #4 of the AI companies right now in terms of power, and last place in the court of public opinion.

I’d be more concerned about Anthropic both being in the good graces of the public and having access to all of our computers indirectly with Claude Code.

OpenAI has ~30x the userbase of Anthropic.

I'm not sure how much of that converts to revenue. If it's free plan users, that's just cost. You can say what you want about "creating a training data moat" but that doesn't seem like it's prevented the other labs from putting out excellent models.

		Well we were talking about power and reputation and being well-known and all that. Being more ubiquitous is surely a big part of that. GP seems to think Anthropic is doing better because of the DoD thing. In my estimation, 90% of people do not care about that at all.

They’re all in the negative excluding subsidies, hard core coders are more valuable than high schoolers cheating on homework.

Around the same revenue due to Anthropics strong enterprise strategy

		Perhaps, but I'd venture the ear of the regime is even more valuable.

makes sense if you think the point of journalism is just to take everyone down a notch instead of... um... informing the public of bad actors

"the local drug-dealing pimp is so passe, we need to investigate the most upstanding members of the community just to be sure" is a frankly insane strategy
