Anthropic didn’t build shit, it’s got the same closed output rules as ClosedAI and xAI and Perplexity and the Gemini API. Send them your precious questions and code and what do you get back? Output you with a prohibition era policy telling you not to use it to compete with their thing that does everything. That’s such a dumb deal, I immediately think people are dumb when I hear them mention using closed output AI services. Government protections for explicitly anticompetitive services? What a joke!

Anthropic was founded by ex-OpenAI employees and they built an effective competitor to OpenAI as evidenced by their valuation, e.g. +$60B USD. If building a company with a +$60B valuation is considered shit, well, I guess I want to know what you built that is better?


Using a company's valuation as a way to measure the effectiveness of the company or product is not a good idea.

See anything related to NFTs as an example, or WeWork immediately sprang to mind as another one.

Did Adam Neumann build anything noteworthy, or was he charismatic and connected enough to dupe many high net worth individuals and investment firms?
