It seems more likely to me that they would have gotten started anyway once ChatGPT came out. Although I was interpreting the counterfactual as being if Anthropic had declined to partner with Amazon, rather than if Anthropic had not existed.
I’m not sure if they would’ve ramped up quite so quick (i.e. getting massive investment) if it wasn’t for the race heating up with Anthropic entering. Either way, it’s all bad, and a case of which is worse.
