Such as?

I can think of a bunch of stuff they released, but none that have impacted the world. I can think of some partly positive impact, which is that my bar for bullshit has to go up because words are cheap now, and so is ""graphics"".

Some other fun impacts they've made is irreversible environmental damage, beautifully detailed in their IPO. Fossil fuel reliance and and water scarcity in the big '26 is probably the most "fuck you" move you could've done, and zero sustainability plans. at least Cloudflare tries to pretend theyre sustainable (and frankly they do invest in green energy).

For society more broadly, what I’ve seen is a bunch of white collar workers under threat (real or perceived) of losing their livelihood, and a huge uptick in the amount of interference I’m having to run as my family members get taken in by a wave of increasingly sophisticated scams and phishing attacks.

At work I see an increase in people spending time trying to make it work reliably for their inputs.

How?

I can see Google did for fostering an environment that lead to the creation of the Transformer and LLMs. I can see OpenAI for pushing on LLM development and making it into a product that the whole world can use.

What did Anthropic introduce that Google or OpenAI (or any other lab) wouldn't have gotten to iteratively eventually?
