First, the nice a part of the Anthropic adverts: they’re humorous, and I laughed.
However I’m wondering why Anthropic would go for one thing so clearly dishonest. Our most necessary precept for adverts says that we received’t do precisely this; we’d clearly by no means run adverts in the way in which Anthropic depicts them. We aren’t silly and we all know our customers would reject that.
I suppose it’s on model for Anthropic doublespeak to make use of a misleading advert to critique theoretical misleading adverts that aren’t actual, however a Tremendous Bowl advert shouldn’t be the place I might anticipate it.
Extra importantly, we consider everybody deserves to make use of AI and are dedicated to free entry, as a result of we consider entry creates company. Extra Texans use ChatGPT at no cost than complete folks use Claude within the US, so now we have a differently-shaped downside than they do. (If you wish to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Professional, we don’t present you adverts.)
Anthropic serves an costly product to wealthy folks. We’re glad they do this and we’re doing that too, however we additionally really feel strongly that we have to convey AI to billions of people that can’t pay for subscriptions.
Possibly much more importantly: Anthropic needs to regulate what folks do with AI—they block firms they don’t like from utilizing their coding product (together with us), they need to write the foundations themselves for what folks can and might’t use AI for, and now additionally they need to inform different firms what their enterprise fashions could be.
We’re dedicated to broad, democratic determination making along with entry. We’re additionally dedicated to constructing probably the most resilient ecosystem for superior AI. We care an important deal about secure, broadly helpful AGI, and we all know the one solution to get there may be to work with the world to arrange.
One authoritarian firm received’t get us there on their very own, to say nothing of the opposite apparent dangers. It’s a darkish path.
As for our Tremendous Bowl advert: it’s about builders, and the way anybody can now construct something.
We’re having fun with watching so many individuals change to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we expect builders are actually going to like what’s coming within the subsequent few weeks. I consider Codex goes to win.
We are going to proceed to work laborious to make much more intelligence obtainable for decrease and decrease costs to our customers.
This time belongs to the builders, not the individuals who need to management them.
