I think given the current mood of things, it would be prudent to not make such strong assertions on anything. Trust is in increasingly short supply these days.

Nothing Jarred said is an assertion other than "There’ll be a blog post with more details."

"I didn’t expect it to work this quickly and I also didn’t expect the performance to be as competitive."

These are two assertions. There could have been a prior secret rewrite that took much longer than six days and this is a marketing stunt for Anthropic. In case people still don't get it, Jarred works for Anthropic and Bun belongs to Anthropic.

Those are not assertions of anything meaningful. We have no idea what his expectations were. Maybe he expected it to be absolute crap, and it was only kind of crap. None of it means that it's actually viable. My fat uncle trying to beat Bolt's time could exceed my expectations by improving from 30s to 20s, doesn't mean it's ever going to be a reality.

In case people still don't get it, Jarred works for Anthropic and Bun belongs to Antrhopic. This means that people that have an ax to grind against anthropic (admittedly a reasonable position), will take the most antagonistic position they possibly can because of personal bias.

I disagree. This is the same sort of marketing strategy as Mythos.Wow it out performed so much we have to tell you in the future. If he wasn't aligned financially with the outcome I'd agree but he's not

So do you picture them locking up the Rust port behind closed doors as well, or what's the game gonna be? Cause it reads like it's kinda all public already.

Absolutely not, I think they prioritize it because it's internal. I to expect to see a stronger marketing push on its ability to do language translations because there is honestly value in that. Question is when they have compute but it's less crisis marketing then their security stuff so I'd see it at a lower priority. I just don't think it's as honest as the parent post posits

The Mythos-truther community is absolutely batshit, sorry. You wrote fanfic and now you're writing more fanfic. The company is faking for marketing so therefore they're faking for marketing. The only things in common between the two situations are you and the word Anthropic, the rest of us are just confused and worried. I'm worried, that's why I'm speaking to you plainly.
