@rohanpaul_ai I think we always suspected that. This feels like Anthropic’s version of the “secret sauce” at Chick-fil-A. This is the major problem for Anthropic's long term valuation because competitors can build a pretty tasty sauce too (often at a fraction of the cost).

@KrystianLaskow1 @GergelyOrosz So true. They did this to prevent the Chinese from releasing a cheaper/comparable model before the IPO happens. Their IPO is starting to feel like a cash grab and not a way to fund a generational company.

The SPV workaround has let companies stay private for way too long. Counting every investor behind the SPV toward the shareholder cap would push these companies public earlier and give retail investors a chance to buy in at realistic valuations. Amazon went public in 1997 while still losing money and the public markets handled it fine. $1K in $AMZN at IPO would be worth ~$2M today. Secondary markets need to go away too. If you want liquidity for your employees, then go public 🤯 Stripe shouldn't still be private and if the SPV rule were changed, I bet they wouldn't be.

@alexsllater Great launch video and slick UI. But I have a hard time believing you paid the roughly $50k it would likely cost to license a Billy Joel song. Playing fast and loose doesn’t exactly inspire confidence when you’re also asking us to trust you with our personal info.

@ArcanesValor @signulll Are you forgetting about Google? They’re not just a frontier lab. They also design their own chips (TPUs) for their own hyperscale data centers, and they have direct access to sources of raw training data. It doesn’t get much more vertically integrated than that.

@0xr3dd0g @FletchMatlock Don’t most traditional political ads use their opponents’ likeness without their permission? You know the ads: the scary music with their opponent’s photo.

@PalmerLuckey @JoshLeibner Instead of banning anything, USPS should raise the price of bulk postage to fully cover delivery costs. That way there are no subsidies and lower-quality junk mail will naturally decline.

Because ChatGPT didn't call a tool. It should have used a randint() call but instead just predicted the next likely token from its training data and humans are heavily biased toward "feelings." Odd numbers, primes, and numbers ending in 3 or 7 "feel" random. psycnet.apa.org/record/1977-00… and upworthy.com/pick-a-random-…

@mreiffy @RandianCapital What do you expect when you cede accountability? Evan holds Class C stock with 10 votes per share. Early investors got a Class B which gets 1 vote. And the Class A stock the public owns? Zero votes. I would never buy $SNAP for that reason alone.

@flippatrak @eglyman I think where costs are headed, especially once VC subsidies dry up, will force this shift. Take the model Ramp was promoting: a 0.35B parameter model running at full precision probably uses under 2GB of RAM, which means practically any computer can run it locally.

@rohanpaul_ai I get that PayPal is bloated but who would ever broadcast layoffs over the next 2-3 years? Every decent employee will start job searching. What an unforced error.

@jasonlk Disagree. "No pure managers" treats AI as if it dissolves the management work. It doesn't. AI reshapes IC output. It doesn't coach, mentor, navigate politics, or make the judgment call on a struggling teammate. AI can run a playbook, not people. hbr.org/2021/06/the-re…

@GergelyOrosz Was an early Copilot Enterprise adopter. $MSFT made you pay upfront for a full year, no trial 🚩 Supposed to work with Excel, PowerPoint, Word. Literally was useless. No one used it. Claude Cowork can actually make Excel and Word docs. Copilot can't...

@bhalligan @nifinet That's interesting. I'd flip it so the rep has to reject the lead within X days, otherwise they get charged by default. Nothing worse than a hardworking SDR (your agent) paired with a lazy rep who lets leads go stale and then blames the SDR.

@parkerconrad Rippling covers maybe a third of the SOC 2 control surface at most. It doesn't touch your cloud, your code, your SIEM, or your incident response. For that part of the audit, aren't you "purely a detection system" too? What makes this different/better?
