Adam (in SF & enjoying)

I'm still homeless in SF. If anyone's renting or selling a nice place, slide into my DMs. The hotel room is getting old.

LinkedIn was already slop. All that's changed is that it's now AI slop.

anthropic doesn't owe anyone "frontier capabilities". none of the labs do. they are all simply selling a product, or a story, that people pay for. that aside, the more telling bit is how far anthropic is willing to go to secure a narrative around "capability slowdown", post a massive raise, before an ipo, and with enterprise contracts rising for those rich enough to pay to similarly keep up the image of "powered-by/secured-by agentic AI". with the amount of capex spent so far, this was never meant to be some democratizing technology "for the people". this is all simply just business.

This is why open-source AI matters. If the tools for building the future can be silently throttled by the same few labs competing to own that future, that’s not democratizing intelligence instead it’s building a new colonial infrastructure.
