It's already going up at staggering rate. Anthropic is now at $100B in annualized revenue, up 50% in the past two months.

Here's a little allegory for how I'm thinking about this discourse.

Imagine a man who is raising tiger cubs in his backyard. They're growing fast. He keeps them on dog leashes so they stay under control. One day, a growing cub breaks its leash and goes on a rampage through the neighborhood, eating a beloved local pet.

The neighborhood erupts into a big argument: Was the leash inappropriately thin? The neighbors point out that thicker leashes are easily available at the local pet store. Furthermore, is it appropriate to refer to the loose cub as a "wild animal" in local news reporting, or is it factually more accurate to call it "domesticated"?

Meanwhile, the cubs grow larger and lick their lips, oblivious to the discussion.
