So basically Anthropic’s estimated valuation went up half a trillion dollars in a couple weeks (then back down a bit) on hype. Small wonder that companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Tesla keep hyping their wares. It makes them rich, and they are never held accountable. The real mystery is why so many investors and X-sters keeping buying the hype. Even @haider1 sees that Mythos has been overhyped.
