"Imagine youre Dario Amodei. You spent a year embarrassing OpenAI. Everyones using Claude Code. Youre winning. Then you get comfortable. You send a cease and desist to an open source GitHub project while sitting on a fresh $380B Claude valuation. Your competitors see and smell blood. Peter Steinberger sees it. Sam Altman sees it too. He puts him on a podcast. You go on a podcast about you. Meanwhile the AI bros only want to hear about one thing: the agentic lobster synthesizer man. But youre in the wrong room discussing the wrong topic at the wrong time. Your competition doesnt make the same"
