So Anthropic degraded their product. OAI updated their product to meet for exceeded Anthropic old product.

This is normal behavior and not a cause for such a hyperbolic response.

There is good competition and bad competition.

Pricing your product unsustainably vs a competitor to gain market share is regarded as "bad competition" and has historically been seen as anticompetitive.

It does not benefit the consumer in the long run, because the goal is to use your increased funding or cash reserve to wipe your competition out of the market, decreasing competition in the long term.

Then, once your competition is gone, and you've entrenched yourself, you do a rug pull.

  • you're right but for now it doesn't matter if both competitors are running on infinite vc money, we as consumers benefit from it. it only matters if they cause negative externalities in the meantime
