Why is that?
- throwawayoldie 1y agoBecause at some point, Anthropic needs to stop hemorrhaging money and actually make some.
- fragmede 1y agoUber, founded in 2009 was finally profitable in 2023. That's a bit longer than 6 months.

- mvieira38 1y agoDifferent situation. Uber's entire strategy was to "disrupt" the transportation industry by undercutting everyone, with the promise that eventually adoption (and monetization via data, advertising, etc.) would be large enough for fees not to rise so much as to push consumers and drivers into the established taxi industry. Anthropic, on the other hand, is a competitor brand in a brand-new industry, one with heavy reliance on capex and exploding employee salaries, for that matter.
- fragmede 1y agoTotally different than except for the fact that it shows that "money" is able to wait 14 years, which is 28x longer than 6 months.

- nextworddev 1y agoand that jumping ship didn't happen IRL, cursor ARR jumped 50% after their pricing change.
