    Wow Claude is the 2nd now, from 119 just a month ago. Claude is getting much better at consumer / day to day tasks. The team has been doing really good work. XAI do something ... what's goining on Elon ? [image]

    Claude jumping to the top of the App Store amid the Iran stuff, unrest in the Middle East and Anthropic's war with the Trump Administration is the latest signal that AI adoption is accelerating faster than most businesses realize. It's not just Katy Perry signing up for Claude

    Claude (@AnthropicAI) seemed like a consumer failure until VERY recently. Currently #2 in the app store. Aside from a short stint at launch last year, they only cracked the top 200 iOS apps on Jan 10th! Superbowl was a big moment, and they've sustained/grown [image]

    I suspect that Whiskey Pete will try to get Claude pulled from the app store by threatening Apple.  Even if you don't plan to use it, it might be an act of resistance to download it.

    your enemies fighting each other can be useful but it doesn't make them your friends.  anthropic doesn't want to help with hegseth's apocalyptic fantasy *because they have their own*  —  you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to them [embedded post]

    The bigger context of the Anthropic-Pentagon fight is that it's the opening chapter in what will be a multi-year fight over to what extent American AI is nationalized. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...  [image]
