Realistically you certainly don’t Anthropic’s models for those things and can get something for a fraction of the price on OpenRouter/etc.

You can use several times cheaper models than Claude as well, its not like you need anything big to handle all the uses cases listed above

Are you not confusing per capita wealth/income with something else? Russia is also technically 5x richer than Norway in that sense. Of course they have 25x more people..

Well Norway was massively richer per capita than the US until quite recently and still currently is by a slight margin.

> if you get colon cancer you get $30,000 for treatments And… what if its not enough? But yeah, extreme inefficiency and inflated costs due to poor regulation seems like the main issue in the US. It’s not however obvious that less regula

They did that. But when the AI craze hit turned that all the 8GB base model Macs didn’t have enough space for even basic models (in addition to the 1-2 electron apps you can run simultaneously). Of course seems like local AI is more or less

Anthropic is neither a monopoly nor has a dominant market position. Generally standards applied to companies like that are very different due to good reason.

I can’t was Netflix on Amazon’s streaming app or the other way around? So yeah, its the same Anthropic isn’t handing out free PCs or forcing people to use them.

So if Claude code didn’t communicate with Anthropic’s server using a well defined public api but some obscure undocumented binary format it would be fine? Or should every app/service be required to expose documented APIs?

That really seems not like the target market for a product like this, though. So its unlikely a launch like this could be successful and would just result in the new Steam pc/console being dead on arrival..

Maybe there is. But isn’t Tesla way, way behind Hyundai at this? It’s not even close? Yet Hyundai’s stock is still very cheap..

It can happen. Its unlikely Tesla will catch up to Waymo any time soon though. Yet valuation for Tesla (relative to how much money they are making) is massively higher than Google’s. Which would make very little sense following this logic?

This kind of maybe made sense for a while their revenue was growing at a very fast pace but now that its stagnant/falling they are no different to any other car company.
