I can't remember the last time (if ever) a company managed to go from golden goose to.. whatever this is.. so quickly. The permanent defensiveness in his presentation is really hard to swallow, it actively puts me off wanting to believe in or rely on their product line with Dario at the helm. I don't even understand the logic leading up to this post. Who was it even hoping to convince. Is it possible Anthropic is due an oil change?

Anthropic has been surprisingly bad at comms for the last few months, which I find crazy in such a competitive market.

I think they are trying to please a split group of investors and public, of their major investors Google and Nvidia have signed the open source petition letter and Amazon hasn't, so their non position is trying to please every who has taken a clearer stance, although it's quite bad.

Anthropic has always been like this. People just responded to the message better when it came from the quirky underdog rather than the trillion dollar behemoth.

It does give me the faintest glimmer of hope about the people who live here, though.
