@mweinbach@itsnebulalol There’s virtually no chance that upper leadership was unaware of this if this was common practice. And if by some extraordinary chance they truly didn’t know, that raises serious questions about their oversight. Either way, it reflects extremely poorly on them.
@80sGeek@MatthewBerman I bet he's really scared about ARR increasing at such a high rate. It's must be really hard to double margins to balance demand and compute. What if Anthropic go bankrupt because they have too many paying customers??
@edzitron@berber_jin1 What is whacky about what Amodei is talking about here...? Amodei’s point is that an individual model generation can have positive unit economics, but the lab still looks unprofitable because it is simultaneously spending much more to train the next model.
@edzitron It's quite interesting that someone who spends so much time on artificial intelligence knows so little about it. I admire your confidence, if nothing else.
