Quoting Karen Kwok for Reuters Breakingviews

Anthropic defines “run-rate revenue” in two parts. Use the last 28 days of sales ⁠from customers charged on a consumption basis and multiply it by 13. Then, multiply the monthly subscription take by 12, ​and add the two together.

— Karen Kwok for Reuters Breakingviews, citing "a person familiar with the matter"

How we contain Claude across products

How we contain Claude across products A complaint I often have about sandboxing products is that they are rarely thoroughly documented, and in the absence of detailed documentation it's hard to know how much I can trust them. Anthropic just published a fantastic overview of ...

Daniel Jalkut on AI

mastodon.social/@danielpunkass/116639318125898071

Daniel Jalkut, on Mastodon (cross-posted to Bluesky and Threads):

My take on AI is, essentially, everybody who’s against it is too against it and everybody who’s for it is too for it.

I concur with this take completely.

(Sidenote: The different reply threads on the three networks speak loudly to the cultural and algorithmic differences between them. Good lord has Meta steered Threads into “make people argumentative” engagement.)
