And just like that, I'm done with this plaftorm. Bluesky's leadership has started making ignorant and vile political comments on other platforms. I cannot and will not support this behavior. See you on Discord. Peace out. *douses everything in gas, throws a match and walks away*

Oh would you look at that! Anthropic’s magical shrinking margins went from 70% to 47% to 40%, with higher than expected inference costs, and its revenue projections were below estimates. I’m sure they’re somehow magically gonna be profitable by 2028! www.theinformation.com/articles/ant...

Anthropic last month projected it would generate a 40% gross profit margin from selling Al to businesses and application developers in 2025, according to two people with knowledge of its financials.
That margin was 10 percentage points lower than its earlier optimistic expectations, though it's still a big improvement from the year before.
The lower-than-expected gross profit margin resulted from the costs of running Anthropic models for paying customers, in a process known as inference, on servers from Google and Amazon. Those inference costs were 23% higher than the company had anticipated, the projections showed.
Anthropic calculates gross margins by subtracting inference costs and other costs of selling its products.

Anthropic recently projected that its 2025 revenue would be $4.5 billion, marginally lower than its previous optimistic projection of nearly $4.7 billion. Still, its 2025 revenue is nearly 12 times higher than its 2024 revenue of $381 million, a
remarkable growth rate for a company that size. (In comparison, OpenAI generated revenue of more than $13
billion in 2025, up from around $3.7
billion in 2024.)

As the cost of running AI models has jumped, Anthropic has lowered its most optimistic gross margin projections

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'd bet good money that if I ask "Do you really believe (inflammatory political crap)?" and the person is forced to answer honestly, 99.9% would say "No, I say it because everyone around me expects it." It's all fake. All this pain and literally nothing there.

I just want to make something explicitly clear as a publisher. If you are using generative AI, we will not work with you. No AI art, writing, brainstorming, nothing. I won't entertain any debate or attempts to get us to change this policy.

Since it apparently must be said again: The use of Generative AI at any point in the composition of a piece of writing does mean, according to our policies, that it is ineligible to be read on The Voice of Dog. "Just for research" is not an acceptable excuse.

Just left some scathing answers and comments. Don't know if it will do much good, though. The question "If you are not comfortable with it, how can we make you more comfortable?" suggests they've already made up their minds and this is performative bullshit.

I'm giving an oncology keynote (huh?) next month on "The Realities and Practicalities of AI". I have a section dedicated to "Risks, Ethics, and the Hype Cycle" where I talk about how AI companies are trying to sell you a fantasy that exceeds the actual product. And boy oh boy does this story fit.

Presentation slide detailing fantasies that companies try to sell you:
- Cigarette advertisement promoting the idea that smoking will make you an athlete
- BETMGM ad promoting the idea gambling makes any situation fun
- Coca Cola ad promoting the idea that Coca Cola is central to any fun event
- Ford Pinto ad promoting the idea that the Ford Pinto will let you be adventurous
