- i_love_retros 7mo agoAll these billions being thrown around weekly and yet people still living in poverty with no access to healthcare, and that's just America. It's truly shameful. Which techbro is gonna tell me those poor people just didn't work hard enough?
- i_love_retros 7mo agoAnd for what? Chatbots no one wants? The ability to produce more mediocre products faster, products that no one needs? It's disgusting. We're headed for a weyland-yutani future not a star trek future.

- state_less 7mo agoApparently many people don't realize that Google is already invested, they are simply reupping their ante. Anthropic is a MicroAmaGooVidia amalgamation, a Frankenstein of more or less dead capital reborn as an AI corporation. I suppose they could chose not to, but for 10B it's a simple choice to hedge a bet on the field.
