What makes Anthropic seem like early Apple is not just the unique taste, but the courage to stand firm with their vision of what the product should be.

Only 4 years old, they haven't existed long enough to be "firm".

That courage was nowhere to be found when Palantir rolled up with a truckload of cash.

Yeah. Does anyone remember how long did it take GOOG to remove "Don't be evil" from their motto?

Making formal, public statements like this is a good start. It is certainly better than NOT making these sorts of statements.

sorry but this is silly, nothing suggests this at all.

It’s better to not fall for serif fonts and warm colors.

Apple had a vision, all right. It was our fault that we thought they would become the rebel with the hammer, and not the guy on the screen.

I am going to assume that is a question asked in good faith by an inquisitive mind. That assumed, asking that question to any proper LLM will provide an answer more in depth than I am willing to type this evening.

Palantir, to me, is the weaponization of big data, where advanced analytics are used to target vulnerable populations. Not just abroad, but here against its own citizens. It is the dystopic enabler that we have been warned about.

Palantir and the words from its leadership seem to me to be in direct opposition to parts of the Constitution doc that Anthropic hold up to show their ethics and seriousness.
