Directly from Bosgame.com, for ~1.7k€ in December. I see it's at $2.2k / 1.9k€ now.
why haven't I checked their site first is beyond me :) Thank you for this! You say you're satisfied, right?

You can judge his actions all you like, but unless you know the man and sit down and discuss it with him everything you are saying is just speculation and opinion. That is fine, just realise that.
Actions are the only thing that matter. "He does evil things, but maybe he feels conflicted about it. That makes them okay."

You really think that a CEOs public statements match their real thoughts and feelings? Everything you hear from any CEO is constructed to form a desired image and narrative. Any public statements from a CEO that you are using to judge their character is completely false and misguided. You have no idea what the real man is behind the image.
Are you trying to say he might be a great guy if you get past the things he says and the actions he takes? What's left?
People change, as do their circumstances and opinions. You have no idea what forces and pressures are making a man do what he does.

> Is this really the best backup? It is the justification for anything any corporation does. This is a company with boards of directors and shareholders, you really think this is just Sams opinion guiding this? > Sam Altman has demonstrated that he's a piece of * with this move. Thats is your opinion based only on what his company has publicly dislcosed to you. I prefer not to judge a mans character based on corporat…

It sounds like your opinion is that when someone makes a bad decision then thats them for life.

Yep, in exactly the same way that for years Google was 'not evil'. When anthropic can no longer grow through developer subscriptions and deals with ethical companies, Lets see how long it takes their shareholders to force them to remove such sweet statements from their company mission statement.
I love how you chastised me for speculating on Altman’s mind state but apparently you can predict the future and know what Anthropic is going to do N years from now. Yeah maybe Anthropic will become a rent-seeking corporation. That’s likely even. And yet that’s not actually relevant at all to what I said; the fact is that right now they appear to have more principles than Altman and OpenAI

You are the one drawing that line for yourself. Everybodies line of principles is in a different place.
No, you're incorrect. Some people never reach a line. And if they do get close, it gets hastily redrawn.
If you draw a line and somebody else crosses it, that affects you and you only. Its unfair to impose your own standards onto another person.

We live in a capitalist economy. What do you expect, a company to just say 'Thats fine we have enough money we dont need any more'? How does a $100 billion dollar company grow? By taking on massive government and military contracts, they are the only clients big enough left in the world. If a company does not show continual growth then it is classed as failing. That is the society we have built, and you cannot blame…
> We live in a capitalist economy. We live in a multifaceted (are we allowed to use that word again? I think 2026 models have stopped using it) economy. > That is the society we have built Maybe you have, I sure haven't. Luckily "we" also haven't, as many - no, the overwhelming majority of people - aren't like that. > and you cannot blame one man for following those principles. You absolutely can, as much as you can…
If 'we', the collective population of the earth, have not made the society we live in, then who has?
> You absolutely can, as much as you can blame the sadistic guards at Auschwitz.
If this was true millions of German soldiers would have been captured and punished/killed at the end of the war. Guess what? They were all rehabilitaed and reintegrated into society, even though they all followed orders and killed millions of people. We did not judge them and gave them a second chance. Some simple research will show you this.

It also takes less time and energy to just attack and be spiteful and insulting in a forum reply, than to engage in a discussion and explain your opinons properly.
I see you have taken the former option.

So youve never done anything you look back on and regret? You dont believe in second chances or reform? It sounds like your opinion is that when someone makes a bad decision then thats them for life.

Are you saying you have never done anything where your hand was forced, or that you have never done anything that you look back on and regret? People change, as do their circumstances and opinions. You have no idea what forces and pressures are making a man do what he does.
