Commentary: Dario's play is piggybacking rivals' compute capex; "Sam wasn't cynical enough"

Commentator teortaxesTex argues xAI shows "zero killer mentality" and expected Google and other investors to starve it of compute by late 2025; at this rate Elon's Terafab would just produce chips for Anthropic designed by Claude.
His follow-up: Dario's sharpest recent insight was that everyone else in the industry is less AGI-pilled than himself, so shipping an attractive model lets Anthropic piggyback on rivals' compute capex without overcommitting. "Sam wasn't cynical enough."
