Anthropic struck a deal with a Texas-based energy company for gas-fired engines meant to provide AI data centers with electricity.
Yes, let’s kill the planet to create something nobody wants. Peak capitalism.
OpenAI has 1.2 billion weekly active users so I’m not sure how accurate that is 🤔
Anthropic have far fewer users, but they’re focused on a smaller number of big customers (large companies, etc) rather than individuals.
So just like Microsoft, adding copilot to everything including notepad and paint, does NOT mean people want it. Just because the website has a chat with a shitty bot section, doesn’t mean people want it. It’s all for artificial inflation of stocks.
They have only about 50M paying subscribers. Spotify has over 300M, same with Netflix. People use it because it’s convenient (search is mostly broken now) and free. I would like to see how many people and companies would use it if they actually had to pay for the environmental damage it’s causing. I think most people that do use it would happily go back to the time before AI. It’s useful but it’s definitely not the revolution we were promised.
