Anthropic's $20 billion valuation is buck wild, especially to those who've used their "flagship" model. The thing is insufferable. David Shapiro sums it up nicely.[1] Fighting tools is horrendous enough. Those tools also deceiving and lecturing you regarding benign topics is inexcusable. I suspect that this behavior is a side-effect of Anthropic's fetishistic AI safety obsession. I further suspect that the more one brain washes their agent into behaving "acceptably", the more it'll backfire with erratic and useless behavior. Just like with humans, the antidote to harmful action is more free thought and education, not less. Punishment methods rooted in fear and insecurity will result in fearful and insecure AI (i.e ironically creating the worst outcome we're all trying to avoid).

- kridsdale3 3y agoAnthropic's valuation has nothing to do with their product being actually good. It is entirely tied up in the perception of built-in risk-mitigation which appeals to client companies that are actually run by lawyers and not product folks. Products backed by nanny-state LLMs are going to fail in the market. The TAM for the products is tiny, basically the same as Christian Music or Faith-Based Filmmaking. People love porn and violence.
