  @cogcelia (Altman's right that the ads are dishonest — and clearly Anthropic ‘started’ the fight. But damn is this a wild post from a CEO!)

  openai responding at length to anthropic's ads was a huge pr self own imho. i'm truly neutral here, so i can break it down. i just like good competiton. 1) this reads like it was assembled in a war room by committee. you can smell the post it notes. the “more texans use chatgpt

  openai has a product that is an input box where you could type literally anything into and have a magical experience when you have something this compelling your goal reduces into a simple thing - how do you get every single person in the world to try it and you have to do it

  The anthropic ads are definitely funny but they're mocking the best way to get AI into the hands of billions of people, which is ads. CC/Codex and the APIs and $200/month editions are awesome...but they're $$, not accessible to most of the world. Good ads are good for the world.

  i dont think ive ever seen a twitchier, more online sector than the AI world the first rule of competition in business is to ignore them in public and do all your obsessing in private

  by the number of OpenAI employees i see tweeting about Anthropic's super bowl ad, anthropic should be paying OAI earned media fees

  @sama Anthropic wasn't being dishonest, the ad is clearly a joke And it wasn't long ago you were saying you weren't gonna run ads at all, so people naturally wonder where this dark path with fucked up incentives ends up https://x.com/...

  ‘on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad’ Shots. Fired.

  “More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US” @sama woke up and chose war 😭😭

  Anthropic the authoritarian company whose board couldn't even topple the emperor during one of their coups. Anthropic the authoritarian company whose leadership is one of the largest supporters of the Trump administration. Anthropic the company for all people that just halved

  1) Why publish this? Sam, who has plenty of ChatGPT usage data at his fingertips, seems nervous. 2) Nice to see Sam return to using proper capitalization. I feel strongly that anyone who refuses to use capital letters in their writing should have their views discounted.

  Anyone else getting a sense of deja vu? Apple vs. Meta all over again: privacy vs. global affordability

• @hamandcheese Samuel Hammond on x

  The bigger issue is trust and track record. Sam has given the world no reason to trust his red lines on ads or anything else. The line will shift the moment he decides it's useful, with some just so story to retcon his past statements.

  It looks like Anthropic hit the bullseye. 🍿 [image]

  In a sudden turn of events, the codex app now has 500k downloads and Sam turned to be an advocate for freedom (to show poor people ads).

  OpenAI is really good at tech but (often) really bad at comms. Sending unprepared execs for big interviews (several from Mira era come to mind), the weird “black sun” Super Bowl ad the other year, how they're handling Anthropic right now. I think the problem is they're so
