“ we believe access creates agency”

Whose agency? Ads are designed to reduce agency. It’s a red queen’s race from there. It leads to a high level of optimized manipulation and intrusiveness.

That was one of the core points of anthropic’s article.

sama is right that anthropic’s and openai’s businesses are differently shaped. Thank goodness for that.

Ads can either reduce agency or increase it. You can get useful information from ads. It's just got a low payoff, in many cases.
