> Claude Code is still a meme

Claude Code generates more revenue than OpenAI...It appears to be a nice meme.

Like I said, Anthropic's marketing is killing it, they've got people freely(?) shilling for them on public forums so even if they have shit developer relations and community relations and a model that's mostly worse while being more expensive, they can ride a wave of misinformation.

    Not true

    Not true

    • Look at the way that Anthropic has legally threatened people who do stuff they don't like around Claude Code and their subs, and compare that to how OpenAI has acted. Look at how mixed up and unstable their communication is on policies is relative to OpenAI. Don't take my word for it, Theo/Primeagen have a whole back catalog outlining how shitty Anthropic is.

      Look at the cost per intelligence of Opus vs GPT 5.5.

      Anthropic is the Taylor Swift of frontier labs... Not bad, but massively, MASSIVELY stan'd for inexplicable reasons, in violation with reality.
