Is he claiming that Anthropic doesn't have a free Claude Code? Because it does.

#32I 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.
I've said before, and I stand by it: Judging by the fact that many CEOs of these BigCos are often the leaders of several other companies, the CEO job probably isn't that hard .
Altman said himself that he felt useless compared to Codex, so maybe Codex should just run the company. It would certainly be cheaper.

The instant feedback you get from posting on social media is more gratifying/addicting than any other marketing campaign. That's what drives all these CEOs, in my opinion.

My dad used to have a boss (at the VP level) who he pejoratively nicknamed "VPGPT", because he thought the guy's management was not significantly better or even different than what you'd get from ChatGPT.

He's a narcissist and has to defend his ego

Does it? Claude the chatbot is available for free, and it can write code, but Claude Code is a separate product that as far as I know is only available on paid plans. Source: https://claude.com/product/claude-code

It would take a fiasco for such a shake up to happen given how the last attempt went.

#39Not 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.
It doesn’t matter. Companies are hypocritical all the time, a few people make noise at the time, then it’s forgotten.
You're right. As long as they don't make a long series of these ads and espouse it as a virtue like Google did with their 'don't be evil', no one will care.

#40A supremely weak move, perhaps sama didn't learn anything from being on reddit and watching how online discourse doesn't ever favour the defensive ones. There was absolutely no need to come out publicly with such whiny remarks, it's marketing, as the CEO I'd expect much better than that, he should know that it doesn't help at all. Even more since the ad was funny, coming out with dry remarks about the obvious misrepr…
I think it's all he knows. His "oh, shucks" good-boy routine is what he's been doing for 15 years now, it's gotten him far, it's never been genuine, but it feels especially out of place now with much attention on him and his lies being so obvious.
