alt Hacker NewsYou're conflating MAU with economic relevance. The overwhelming majority of ChatGPT users are brokies on the free tier who use it for simple questions, like their homework assignments or relationship advice.
Anthropic, by contrast, is about to release a model so powerful that Scott Bessent an Jay Powell convened an emergency meeting just a few hours ago with the CEOs of America's biggest banks. They are forming contingency plans for the effects Mythos is going to have on the financial markets. Anthropic is also far more consequential to the job market since it's the biggest and most sophisticated player in the B2B space. And of course, Anthropic has a higher ARR than OpenAI.

Lol Scott and Jereome have no idea about the underlying tech. Its a nice hype storm for Anthropic.
I think their point stands.

No, I'm not. Are you unable to make a point without being condescending and assuming the worst of people you disagree with?

Yes, I know. That's my whole point.
The "best" or most advanced product in any tech category is really "the face" of that category. See also: cars, video game consoles, audio equipment, etc.

No fucking wonder they're throwing molotovs. How about not calling people less fortunate elitist, condescending names.
