He sounds rattled, you don't respond in this manner from the position of power. They didn't need to respond at all, all they did opening their mouth is bring more eyes to Anthropic.

Super-peeved. The intro with the "they're funny and I laughed." and then loses face attacking back...

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.

It's the same ad campaign Samsung did with the charger and headphone jack after Apple ditched them. Let's see if they hold out longer than what Samsung did back then.

PlayStation also used this style of ad when Xbox first tried to go all digital.

No ads on Wikipedia tho, not even after 25 years.

Do you not think those intrusive banners and popups implying that Wikipedia is about to imminently go broke unless you give them money, are ads?

I think you're letting pedantry hinder you from seeing a useful pattern.

OK. Tesla Trailing P/E: 390.70 Apple Trailing P/E: 34.11 Ford Trailing P/E : 11.74

I'm not sure what your point is. High P/E is a sign of overvaluation and a bad investment. Just because the market is irrational doesn't mean you should sign up for to be a bag holder.

Pretty sure OPs point is that Tesla has shitty results, has a CEO that lives “any publicity is good publicity” as a mantra and the company valuation is through the roof.

At least he can't levy arbitrary and capricous tariffs because a commercial upset his fragile ego

No one should care.

Seriously, we all know:

1) Those Anthropic ads don't matter. Companies eat up their promises all the time and rarely face any consequence. They'll introduce ads one way or another.

2) Sam Altman's tweets don't matter. They never matter. Tweets from any OpenAI employee are purely to pump engagement. If what they said had a sliver of substance we would have had AGI mid-2025.

The whole 'war' is just to keep their brands mentioned on news and social media.
