seems Anthropic has figured out how to make money

didn't seem to me that such a capital intensive business could have huge profit margins! but Claude code seems to be the secret sauce

trying out a take there was no moat on "search" and no reason for Google to become the dominant player in a game where anyone could just make a search engine but if you're just better than everyone else you can still win

ehh I don't think I agree. particularly because for so many middle aged people and up Google was their first and only experience with search, it doesn't even occur to them that alternatives exist. also why they paid Apple so much to be the default on Safari

Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves were earlier, no?
