if you are invested heavily in the AI space, isn't it in your best interest for the froth around Mythos to be true and the comment you are responding to to be invalid? even if you are competing with Anthropic, a rising tide raises all ships

i'd like to see more facts and data one way or another!

This is the "circumstantial" version of the ad hominem fallacy. Just because the author may benefit from the argument being true doesn't mean it is invalid.

They are clearly disputing the assertion the Mythos is an incremental gain rather than quantum leap. Of course objective unbiased data would be nice, but these anecdotes are all we have right now.
