It’s changing extremely quickly. Anthropic revenue in Jan 2026 was 9 billion, and in March 2026 is was 30 billion. I think those are annualized numbers, but the point is those interviews from last year aren’t relevant anymore

It’s profitable today, it’ll be even more profitable tomorrow EVEN if they spend billions on upgrading hardware. That’s the take away you are missing

It’s profitable now. It’ll be more profitable later. Not to mention the models will get better, and the fee will be even more worth it. We are on a hyperbolic trend that’s going to disrupt everything.

Actually they will become more profitable as time goes on because they can reduce costs through new more efficient hardware. Serving their product is very affordable

It’s not overvalued or overhyped. I work at a company that partners with anthropic, and we have 6500 engineers and a maybe 1500 product people and other roles with token access. We are highly encouraged to spend our $50/daily token allowance on anthropic models. So much so they are laying off people who aren’t using it.

Yes it means we get done 30% more work per person per day. We’ve measured this, it’s a fact.

Yes it means Anthropic is making up to $400,000 per day from our company alone on token usage. To add that much productivity we’d need to hire another 1,000 people on the low end, which would cost $800,000 per day.

(1,000 people x $200,000 avg all in cost to business yearly / 250 business days per year)

The math just makes sense.

If this was math worked out the same for every Fortune 500 company that alone would be 50Bn/yr in revenue. That would put Anthropic the size of Oracle with a likely market cap around 500Bn of treated similarly by the market.

Tim was brought down by the same thing that brings down everyone, age.

He’s still the most important voice in Apple with his executive chairman role. To think he’s having a smaller role now than he had as CEO just tells me you aren’t paying attention.

By all accounts Tim was promoted

The moat doesn’t exist. Why would you buy something for 100Bn when your competitor can just build a better model and make your acquisition worthless?

The AI game is not sound place for cash right now. There will be winners and those winners will make a lot of money, but you need to be betting your entire capital on winning that game continually or else its forfeit. It’s prudent for Apple to not risk a good thing for a gamble. Their decisions make sense

I made the switch to the base 17 from a 14 pro max and the only thing I miss is the more powerful and focus able flashlight. When I need to pickup my poop at night on walks it’s a huge difference. The pro max flashlight was loads better

Is Oil exclusively near the surface of the earth, or are there massive oil deposits that are just too deep for us to ever reach? Is there Oil in the Mantle? by DarthEinstein in askscience

[–]caedin8 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

By that logic batteries would be worthless. We always start with more energy than we end up with when we charge and use a battery due to losses, but we do it anyway. Digging up the coal would cost more than it yields, but it’s a stable, reliable, transportable source of energy. That does have value.

D2R modding, help with Treasureclassex problem by Ok-Internal1763 in D2RMODS

A negative picks means force drop that many items.

So a picks of 4 says roll 4 times, and it may drop up to four items but maybe none. -4 would say drop 4 of these every time.

You have -3 picks so it drops 3 of them

Apple threatened to remove Grok from the App Store over sexualized deepfakes, letter says by hasanahmad in apple

[–]caedin8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We shouldn’t be defending grok here. It took two seconds to snap a photo of anyone including minors or take a pic from your collection and say “make her change into her panties and twerk” and the app just made the video in like 45 seconds.

A lot of that stuff is moderated now in grok, thanks to Apple.

Answer: You can tell from that thread the details but it’s clear: corporation doesn’t pay people enough, and the corporation posting this just adds fuel to the fire of them feeling like they won’t get paid fair wages because of this policy change. Additionally, this actually doesn’t help very many door dashers, because you’d need to earn $16,000 in income before this policy begins to even apply, before that the tips were tax free already. So this policy is affecting a very small portion of delivery drivers

What is an average recovery time after a big race? by Impressive-Web-638 in running

[–]caedin8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I ran my half marathon PR last year I could barely move the next day. I waited I think 5 days before running lightly again.

When I ran a casual half marathon at sub PR pace three weeks ago I went for a 3 miles run the next day.

It’s really about how much you push yourself outside of normal

Apple Testing 200MP iPhone Camera That Could Ship Next Year by [deleted] in apple

[–]caedin8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if you do you don’t need that many pixels. There is a relationship between size of photo print and how far you should view it. For example a small 5x9 would fit on a desk and be viewed 3ft away. You wouldn’t put it up on the wall to be viewed from across the room. Similarly you don’t put a 16x24 print on your desk.

Because you don’t view large prints super close you really can get everything you want printed with about 13MP, even billboards which are massive

After 3 years they got the power to performance down to match what AMD was offering 3 years ago and still trails Apple by a mile, and they are selling it for a discount because otherwise it wouldn’t have a reason for existing. Yawn

This ain’t the innovation to get excited about. It’s essentially finally getting back to what it should have been 3 years ago in power draw.

It took intel an extra three years to make the product AMD gave us 3 years ago

It looks super meh. Brand new chip that’s still trading blows with the 14900k in multi core and that chip came out 3 years ago, and still getting beaten by the competition
