alt Hacker News> All that busy work and for what exactly?
All that busy work was for going from zero revenue to $50B in revenue in about 3 years, and releasing AI systems that are getting better and better at a ridiculous rate. AI isn't solving all the world's problems but you can't deny that they are extremely successful with this method of operating.

It's a fair question to ask. If literally all the economic growth (and then some?) is going to AI companies, then nothing else is improving, in the aggregate.

I think part of the concern is around “could it be better”? Like if an elite athlete eats junk food all the time. Sure it’s working, but is it because of the candy? Anthropic is often criticized for their poor UI/UX. The models are undeniably powerful but the packaging is typically poor. This is not to drift into the conversation of profitability either, to be clear.
