A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Buh-bye Anthropic...

Nah. Short term dip in value, that's all, but I expect it to recover and improve.

When you realise the the US in not the only customer in the world, and other countries will be prioritising AI/LLMs that aren't embedded and ultimately controlled by the unstable and fascist government there. Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Canada - all places that have good reasons not to want the US Government being fed their data.

There's also Elon Musk's strange relationship with that government, and he would likely get access to Anthropic's codebase and IP through them too.

Also, non analytically, well done for standing up to bullies.
