WSJ: Anthropic CEO personally sought compute from Meta and was declined; Google fights over GPU allocations

Per WSJ, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei personally called Meta's Alexandr Wang seeking more compute; Meta weighed supplying chips but declined. Inside Google, Demis Hassabis has voiced frustration over insufficient compute for long-term research, Sergey Brin sometimes overrides formal allocation processes, and Noam Shazeer's team had compute cut before he left for OpenAI. The post pushes back on 'GPU bubble' takes: frontier labs can't get enough compute.
