For better or worse, that's where his audience is.

I'm pretty sure the audience would follow him wherever he goes.

  • And that’s the point, thank you!

    Anthropic should capitalize on this opportunity to undercut their competitor’s platform. They don’t come around often.

    • Twitter is not a competitor to Anthropic, some random guy with 2m followers leaving would not undercut it in any way, and xAI is literally partnered with Anthropic and selling their compute now.

    • I'm sure Anthropic wants him to have as much reach as possible, not abandon his primary distribution channel just to please an extreme minority of the population.

  • For folks at this scale,

    (vs an HN blog author),

    networks are communication and dissemination tools,

    not principled stances.

For worse. It’s distinctly for worse.

  • Eh, as someone who isn't terribly interested in seeing non-stop low effort promotion of garbage AI products, I don't mind that they congregate on a site I rarely visit.
