AI commentators, from the most skeptical to the most ASI-pilled, vastly vastly overestimate the extent that narratives are important for Anthropic and OpenAI.
contrary to the default reaction on this little website, this is absolutely incredible news for anthropic.
i mean obviously yes, the operational disruption is real. but public & world perception wise, this could not be a bigger home run. could be a grand slam type situation.
the fucking united states govt just looked at their model & effectively said.. yeah this shit is too powerful. you simply cannot buy that kind of aura. it elevates every other product by the company & it instantly reframes anthropic’s work as strategically significant, nationally relevant, & qualitatively different from the rest of the field.
there is not a single institution on the planet that can buy or orchestrate this type of significance.
absolutely ridiculous.
