The ads are funny:

They are funny but I wish people still used copyeditors. It's weird to say "the deadline for this essay is due today."

It should be either "the deadline for this essay is today" or better, just "this essay is due today."

You'd think that by now we would stop attaching ideas around morality to corporate organisation. open ai isn't good or bad, anthropic isn't either. they function as a means to generate profit and get as much market share as legally allowed. Anthropic are going about this by pretending to be the good guys in the room but its all marketing and nothing else.

We've gone down this part so often and yet people still take it as face value. Mind boggling

Sam knows he can lean into the sports team dynamic to get people rooting for him. He certainly learned a thing or two from his time on HN, that's for sure.

Hope Anthropic keeps it up. They clearly struck a nerve.

I actually think this is co-operated behind the scenes and intentional marketing.

The fact that Altman is so offended about Anthropic ads that don't mention OpenAI is very revealing about his mindset.

ahhahhm

"but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions"

yes, of course...

the best is this one "We are committed to broad, democratic decision making"

p.s. "One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own", ...ohhh
