- myhf 11mo agoBecause discounted dollar bills are still a tangible asset, but churning language models are intangible?
- beepbooptheory 11mo agoMaybe for those of us not-too-clever ones, what is the bet? Why is it different? Would be pretty great to have like a clear articulation of this!
- shwaj 11mo agoThe bet, (I would have thought) obviously, is that AI will be a huge part of humanity’s future, and that Anthropic will be able to get a big piece of that pie. This is (I would have thought) obviously different from selling dollars for $0.50, which is a plan with zero probability of profit. Edit: perhaps the question was meant to be about how Bun fits in? But the context of this sub-thread has veered to achieving a $7 billion revenue.
- beepbooptheory 11mo agoThe question is/was about how they intend to obtain that big piece of pie, what that looks like.
- throwaway-0001 11mo agoDo you know any translators? They all pretty much lost much of their clients. Devs can write at a very fast rate with ai.
- econ 11mo agoMachine translations are really good now. Early on I would translate the same sentence back and forwards while "engineering" the "prompt". You still need to check it or at least be aware it's a translation. The problem of extra puns remains. 我不会说任何语言，我否认一切
- mgfist 11mo agoThe bet is that revenue keeps growing and unit economics turn positive (which you can't do if you sell a dollar, since no one will give you more than a dollar for it)
