Interesting that Anthropic doesn't feel that leasing an illegally powered data center is a risk to their business operations or brand.

I laughed at brand risk. I think every player in AI is well past the brand risk. Only posturing you see is being too dangerous. And even that is for hype not actually stopping them. Eventually they push the models out despite that. It really is weird market branding wise.

Just goes to show how desperate they are for compute. It's definitely a brand risk for them, but failing to keep the treadmill going is an existential risk.

Depends on the fine print of the deal. My guess is that it is very favourable for Anthropic. SpaceX very eager for headline news before IPO.

It definitely did brand damage for me but my alternatives are running low.
