Not a fan of Altman, but I don't think the ad will serve Anthropic well in long run.

They may not run ads for foreseeable future, but there will come a point where they introduce a different tier service that does, whether they want it or not.

Their investors will call the shot.

It doesn’t matter. Companies are hypocritical all the time, a few people make noise at the time, then it’s forgotten.

You're right. As long as they don't make a long series of these ads and espouse it as a virtue like Google did with their 'don't be evil', no one will care.

Hate to say it, but no one will remember or care when that time comes. It costs them very little to say that if they have no plans in the immediate future to serve ads.
