Not a fan of Altman, but I don't think the ad will serve Anthropic well in long run. They may not run ads for foreseeable future, but there will come a point where they introduce a different tier service that does, whether they want it or not. Their investors will call the shot.
Anthropic’s strategy is weird, they may not be inserting ads today but I am sure this is where they will end up if they get enough volume of users. So saying “not to Claude” is putting them in the same plane as google’s “do no evil”. They will walk it back sooner or later.
The free to paid user ratio of both services is worth seeing too.
Personally I find both are growing cleanly into their own areas of strengths and that's actually a good thing because it provides more coverage for solutions.
I will never understand these chronically online CEOs. Your company has given up its massive lead in AI and is falling further behind Google and Anthropic with every passing day and you have nothing better to do than fight ego battles with random people on X all day? Should be a clear signal to the board that there needs to be a shake up at the top.

No ads on Wikipedia tho, not even after 25 years.
The first fundraising banner on wikipedia was in 2003. That is unquestionably an advertisement, and not even an ethical one given the misleading nature of their campaigns these days.
That’s quite different from shoving ads in your face where it doesn’t belong. Like an ad for Copilot on a YouTube video.
IMO it’s distinct.
This is really, really bad for OpenAI; both these ads (which are very good) and Sam's response.
"One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path." OpenAI President Greg Brockman was the biggest donor to Trump's super PAC in H2 2025, donating $25M https://www.techmeme.com/260102/p10#a260102p10
