> On top of that, Anthropic is losing money on it

This has got to be my favorite one of them all that keeps coming up in too many comments… You know who also was losing money in the beginning?! every successful company that ever existed! some like Uber were losing billions for a decade. and when was the last time you rode in a taxi? (I still do, my kid never will). not sure how old you are and if you remember “facebook will never be able to monetize on mobile…” - they all lose money, until they do not

I love how your comment is getting downvoted.

Like it's a surprise that startups burn through money. I get the feeling that people really have no idea what they're talking about in here anymore.

It's a shame.

Are we forgetting that sometimes, they just go bankrupt?
