Chamath Palihapitiya Warns Anthropic Risks Becoming 'Friendster Of The AI Era' After Claude Refuses Stock Screening Prompt
Summary
Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya tested four leading AI models with a semi-complicated stock screening prompt and said xAI’s Grok, Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT returned comparable results while Anthropic’s Claude refused to complete the task. Palihapitiya warned that Anthropic risks falling behind and compared the company to Friendster if it does not solve compute or performance issues. The report notes Anthropic recently expanded Claude with specialized legal features, Claude Code Security and Microsoft Office integrations, and the CEO cited 80x growth in usage and revenue. It also highlights Anthropic’s access to SpaceX and xAI’s Colossus 1 supercomputer and a reported $1.8 billion cloud deal with Akamai as compute competition intensifies.
