The mythos public release will be a big indicator if the Anthropic and SF story of transformational ai soon holds any water imo

Sorry but if AI can build itself then it can run companies of size 3000 companies with a few people. Or even higher. What are the consequences?

AI tech bro:

Month 1 - 6 months to AGI

Month 2 - We will Replace all jobs

Month 3 - Okay maybe only the SWEs, programming is solved

Month 4 - Announce model that is too dangerous to release

Month 5 - Releases dangerous model

Month 6 - This is it! We will replace AIs with more AIs (*secretly files for IPO)

AI is here to stay, like it or not but it is not the solution to everything. If it is, what is Anthropic's moat? A better model? I don't see any ecosystem being built by them, as MCP is almost obsolete except for some very niche use case. And they're doing stuff that a non-profit version of OpenAI would do. Can we trust a for-profit company to stand against their investors during a conflict of interest? Because running a company for maximum profit versus being ethical is two different end of the spectrum.
