This government contract was a very small part of anthropic revenue. Almost negligible. Their 2026 revenue is projected to be $14 billion to $20 billion. This contract was $200M over 2 years.
Airplanes and many other captive portals will allow DNS traffic, but restrict everything else. Such things can be used to get free internet in such environments. It is indeed an abuse of protocol, and future protocols are going to make life difficult for everyone to prevent such abuse.
Yea Paramounts behavior doesn’t seem rational if the direct economics of the companies involved were the only concern.
But given that Paramount wanted to buy the CNN portion of the business that Netflix wasn’t even bidding on, it kinda seems like they have a longer term goal in place.
Sure, I'd be willing to walk away with a briefcase holding $2.8 Billion with a B. How much stock would that buy back? Doubtful shareholders see any dividends from it.
I think Netflix is incredibly foolish for letting Paramount scoop this up, and their leadership is taking a huge gamble that the very broad media empire the extreme right has and is building in combination with unilateral control of the government will not be used to seriously undermine companies like Netflix in the coming years.
Netflix isn't going to be simply competing against Paramount/WBD, they are going to be competing against the State's custom built propaganda machine.
Because the company lives in a free society and has benefitted from being in that free society?
Just ask the folks in Hungary or (esp.) Russia what happens when all the independent media gets bought up by government sycophants: do you want to live in that kind of society?
I think you overestimate the influence of traditional media these days. CNN is a declining asset. Nobody under 60 gets their news from these places. Anyway, by the time the deal closes Trump will be in lamb duck status.
And the amount of debt being taken on for the deal is astronomical.
There is a post Trump world. These companies have to be financially successful in.
Exactly right, which is why I will bring up that the same company that will own WBD (cnn) will also own in major part Tiktok, which is exactly where younger people get their news.
I liked the simplistic UI, but it is not quite ready for serious use.
I tried using it on a simple svg that i had (around 1KB, just few simple lines and shapes). But it did not rendered them properly. Colors were off (black-box instead of original colors), and in one place it was showing at triangle instead of an L shaped line.
Also when I move an object, a single Cmd+Z wont undo the action. Have to repeat twice for object to go back (I am using Chrome on macbook)
Thank you — this is exactly the kind of feedback I’m looking for. If you’re able to share the SVG that caused the issue, I’d love to take a look and reproduce the problem.
The undo behavior you described is a known issue — some interactions currently require multiple undo steps, and I’ll be looking for a proper solution in the medium term. Really appreciate you taking the time to test and report this.
Open models are trained more generically to work with "Any" tool.
Closed models are specifically tuned with tools, that model provider wants them to work with (for example specific tools under claude code), and hence they perform better.
I think this will always be the case, unless someone tunes open models to work with the tools that their coding agent will use.

Some open models have specific training for defined tools (a notable example is OpenAI GPT-OSS and its "built in" tools for browser use and python execution (they are called built in tools, but they are really tool interfaces it is trained to use if made available.) And closed models are also trained to work with generic tools as well as their “built in” tools.
