The supply of idiots in the Stockmarket is very large right now.
Anthropic might well be actually spending more than their retail prices to host the API so not sure going to actual cost would improve these numbers.

They did lose an insane amount of money last quarter versus revenue.

Remember that the republicans have made it very difficult to vote in a lot of states (huge lines, hurdles, etc.) such that only their demographic has time to vote.

It is a business losing $80B a half on $18B in revenue. This is a trash business.

Now replace "spies from China" with "your husband/wife", and you will see, that yes, there is something inherently wrong with the idea

It is just crazy to me that people traded their rights away just because they got mad at some DEI programs and trans people.

They should consider withdrawing from Ukraine
How much money do they have left? It is hard for me to see how OpenAI doesn't fail at this point. There is no business, no moat. Honestly, the best outcome seems like failing up into a Microsoft acquisition at this point.
Re:Meta and Microsoft Limit Employee Use of Claude AI Tools on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @04:16PM (#49998217)
In California this would mean the employee would own the IP -- or at least it would be murky -- and companies and lawyers don't like murky.

Microsoft is only limiting employees to $10k a month, down from $100k a month. :)

I click a quest and answer it but the app seems to be stuck on that quest and I can't figure out how to get back to all of the quests available near me. Is that a common experience?
