Said on Prof G Media

“When you think about what is the most widely adopted operating system, it's Linux for computers and Android for mobile. These are open source operating systems. The internet protocols are open, and these originated in America and were adopted by the rest of the world. Open technology becomes the foundational thing that everyone adopts, and with it comes the infrastructure and software of whatever nation originated it.” — Misha Laskin, Prof G Media

“Just because the model is free doesn't mean that everything around it is free. If you are an enterprise and you want to run open models, you need to get the compute from somewhere, and the software for managing that compute and serving the models. Just the technology for serving the models is complex and hard to do. You can think about the open model as the engine, but the engine is useless without a car.” — Misha Laskin, Prof G Media

“The high-level distinction: closed, you cannot own. You can only rent. Open, you can own entirely. It's like the difference between the rental and the ownership real estate market. When you are renting an apartment, you are subject to the whims of your landlord, which could mean price hikes. It could mean an eviction. But it's very convenient. You just pay rent and someone else manages your property for you.” — Misha Laskin, Prof G Media

“They have about 5,300 employees. That's about as many as Snap has, but they're generating nearly eight times as much revenue as Snap does. So that's $6.6 million per employee. That's more than Meta, Alphabet, and Microsoft. Only NVIDIA is higher.” — Mia Silverio, Prof G Media

“Revenue growth thus far has looked impressive. But going forward, I think we're already seeing signs that it's moderating. Anthropic did not report Q3 revenue numbers in the S1, but the Financial Times did… So it seems like we're already seeing revenue growth will start to slow. And I think maybe that's because the main buyers of Anthropic's products, Claude, are learning that, like, hey, we can do basically the same, but for a lot less with an open source model. It just doesn't really seem like the moat here is super strong.” — Mia Silverio, Prof G Media

“I don't think investors are worried about the growth slowing. You can't 16x revenue twice. What investors are more worried about, and maybe this is the more reasonable bear take on Anthropic and AI in general, is the stickiness of the platform and the durability of that revenue. How easy is it for the next model that's 10% more powerful to snatch away those customers and those workflows? If you're going to worry about something, that's the concern. Is there a moat?” — Josh Brown, Prof G Media

“It can be super mundane things like shoveling snow at an airport, selling concessions at a hockey stadium. … It could be storing paper. It could be fixing garage doors. Recently, someone just sold a garage door servicing business for $2 billion.” — Owen Zidar, Prof G Media

“Ricketts came out with an AI jingle. You know, if you watch my debate, he called me Democrat Dan every 40 seconds during the debate. That's all he's got. And so we went in studio with Nebraska musicians and recorded a version of Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere," but with Nebraska-specific towns, as kind of a rebuttal to his AI slop.” — Dan Osborn, Prof G Media

“We're just trying to be different. I think most of us are just sick and tired of the political ads. Ricketts is outspending us five to one. … We're trying to be a little bit more lighthearted and fun with it and still get our message out. I think that's how we've been successful in cutting through the noise of $50 million by being unique.” — Dan Osborn, Prof G Media

“We're definitely in the manic phase. 1871 was maybe the point at which you could have said this is perfectly rational and it's reasonable. By the end of 1872, we'd exceeded all bounds. So I'm sure that we have entered the manic phase.” — Liaquat Ahamed, Prof G Media

“The SpaceX prospectus is truly the first real blueprint for what is the East India company of space… The bottom rung is space launch capability. Right now, SpaceX launches 80% of the mass in space. Its next closest competitor is the government of China, and it's not close.” — Josh Tyrangiel, Prof G Media

“No one talks to Google in complete sentences. No one says, hey, Google, I have a question about the capital of Australia. Could you please let me know what that is? No, they just type in Australia Capital Enter, right? Because we don't anthropomorphize that particular AI-based system. … The era of anthropomorphized chatbots was an accident.” — Cal Newport, Prof G Media
