Amodei has been calling for models to be regulated, so he got his wish.

They are willing to tolerate it now, which is quite a switch up from the free for all we had a few weeks ago, and if they aren’t able to tie in this new ~$1500p/m cap to demonstrable productivity and revenue increases then that will be kneecapped even faster

Concern maybe elsewhere, but I like how we have gone full circle.

SpaceX expects to complete its $60 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor roughly 30 days after it begins trading publicly, according to Bloomberg.

Cursor's Composer 2 model was built on Kimi K2.5, who were in turn accused of 'distillation' attacks by Anthropic.

Anthropic now relies on SpaceX for compute demands.

which is fitting since the author used the phase "cheugy" unironically.

> I think the root cause is that Anthropic is capacity constrained so is having to make choices about the customers they want to serve and have chosen people who use Claude Code above other segments.

I think that's part of it, the other part is that OpenClaw is OpenAI IP now, and Anthropic want to allow users to ensloppify the internet through their own features now instead.

But that is surely offset by Twitter, which is doing great business.

wouldn't touch this with a barge pole. Failed company after failed company rolled into the largest IPO ever? No thanks.

Musk is clearly trying to dump his bags on retail before the next recession is confirmed.

It’s legalised insider trading. So you can always assume at this point that someone who knows will be cashing out.

Interesting, because I’d choose not to fly with an entire carrier because they have chosen to implement Starlink and support a Nazi pedophile, but horses for courses.

Anthropic literally said the same, but seem to be getting positive PR.

It's disgusting honestly. There are likely at least 136 directly reported civilian and child deaths linked to the operations where their services were used. And they are very proud.

New comment by lavezzi in "Warren Buffett dumps $1.7B of Amazon stock"

lavezzi — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 05:11:04 +0000

Amazon turned me off selling completely. I was subjected to an obvious fraudulent buyer on a high value item ($5k) and they did everything in their power to make it as painful as possible for me to fight:

- An A-Z claim from the buyer was denied by Amazon for fraud (supposed non-delivery of the item), yet their returns department auto-approved a return for the same order just 12 days later.

- The customer returned a completely different item with documented serial number/weight discrepancies and seller-provided video evidence, yet I was left with no recourse.

- The customer then filed a fraudulent credit card chargeback. I won the first round, but Amazon refuses to participate in second-round disputes - so despite overwhelming evidence of five separate fraud attempts, they sent a generic email and docked $5k from my seller account.

- Amazon then refused to answer any further communications, including basic disclosure of which card issuer was involved or what evidence was submitted - making any independent appeal impossible.

- Every dispute stage (A-Z, returns, chargebacks) required rebuilding the fraud case from scratch. Zero continuity, and zero care for an independent seller with a strong track record of sales and feedback.

> Yet he didn't feel the need to hide the plane he received from the Saudis, or the gold bars he got from tech companies.

You are willfully obtuse if you believe these are equivocal examples.

And not that it matters, but the plane in question was 'gifted' from the Qatari royal family, not 'the Saudis'.
