3.4B in 4.5 months…is that all going to Anthropic? Makes it seem so with the wording and how they’re pivoting to Codex too


It's probably all AI spending, including them doing AI stuff for their products.


oh man uber is acquiring the company I work for [1] and we currently really like Claude ... but if Codex is better so be it. I just really, really, really like Claude Code as a front end. Guess I'll have to make it talk Codex instead.

[1] it's public knowledge https://investor.uber.com/news-events/news/press-release-det...


Curious how it works in other countries, do employees get a portion of the payout?


We have virtual shares that vest on sale. I won’t be rich. Enough to take a nice trip to Mallorca after taxes.

That’s the entire R&D budget - the article is completely lacking in actual details, such as how much was spent on Ai


If it is anything like my company, sign enormous deals to AI startups that have existed for 8 months, and do little more than provider wrappers around someone else's model. Then hire three different firms that do the same thing because each division has to prove how much more AI they are than the others. Have a handful of internal engineers who have no idea what they are doing, but get approval to build and run an internal B200 server farm. Ensure any big jobs are done through some kind of white-glove offering from Amazon/Azure that removes complexity, but charges astronomical rates.


"My delivery service CEO told me the AI keep eating his tokens so I asked how many tokens he has and he said he just goes to the token shop and gets a new batch of tokens afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding tokens to the AI and then his laid off workers started crying."
