I’m tired of the breathless hyperbole in every AI piece trying to get clicks. Every new thing means that “OpenAI is finished” or “It’s over for Anthropic” or whatever. It’s telling that this take is that Anthropic having a popular product is somehow really really bad for Anthropic, bad enough to warrant expletives.
Ed has been beating this drum for a while, I don’t see a problem with it. He’s putting in whatever research he can into these black boxes.
He warned a while ago that a $20/month sub was not going to be sustainable, and now what do we have? $100, $200, and $300 dollar tier plans. And now he’s warning even this isn’t going to be enough.
It might seem like breathless hyperbole to you or me, but I think he’s giving a pretty fair warning in advance to anyone who is hitching their wagon to these services in a big way and might get caught out badly if they aren’t lucky
