Maybe for those of us not-too-clever ones, what is the bet? Why is it different? Would be pretty great to have like a clear articulation of this!


The bet, (I would have thought) obviously, is that AI will be a huge part of humanity’s future, and that Anthropic will be able to get a big piece of that pie.

This is (I would have thought) obviously different from selling dollars for $0.50, which is a plan with zero probability of profit.

Edit: perhaps the question was meant to be about how Bun fits in? But the context of this sub-thread has veered to achieving a $7 billion revenue.


The question is/was about how they intend to obtain that big piece of pie, what that looks like.


Do you know any translators? They all pretty much lost much of their clients.

Devs can write at a very fast rate with ai.


Machine translations are really good now. Early on I would translate the same sentence back and forwards while "engineering" the "prompt".

You still need to check it or at least be aware it's a translation. The problem of extra puns remains.

我不会说任何语言,我否认一切


The bet is that revenue keeps growing and unit economics turn positive (which you can't do if you sell a dollar, since no one will give you more than a dollar for it)
