#Anthropic Revenue Now Exceeds #OpenAI
OpenAI built the market. Anthropic is monetizing it.
- OAI wins consumer mindshare
- Anthropic wins enterprise monetization
- Claude Code has a rapid scale
- Next moat = inference infra + workflow lock-in
If Anthropic IPOs, premium to OAI?
I see Sam Altman has a share the wealth plan for AI. He could do better reading my pinned link to my blog on physical AI.
My argument justifies a per hour fee on robots by treating aggregate demand as a commons with damages capable of redress. It's a modified classical liberal argument.

I tried to recreate The Economist's recent chart - cumulative population within 1 km of reported strikes during the
Iran/Israel war - but for Ukraine, over 4 years of full-scale war.

I guess that and the Israeli strike on the South Pars natural gas complex answers the question of whether Trump will follow through on his war crime threats. Iranian retaliation against oil infrastructure is guaranteed at this point, the only question is how bad it will be.

Line chart showing the Green Markets North America Fertilizer Price Index from April 2025 to April 2026. Prices remain relatively stable through 2025 before rising sharply after late February 2026, coinciding with the Iran conflict and a reported drop in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The index climbs to around 985 by early April
🚨Fertilizers are at particular risk, as their supplies get choked at the Strait of Hormuz.
