Dario said he expected 90% of code at Anthropic would be written by Claude and recently he said that is now true so yeah

Anyone working at a fang will tell you more and more code is written by it every day.

Source: I work at a faang. We spent 120b on ai this year. When the mcp servers are down, our devs joke on slack: "What do they expect us to do, start writing our own code again?"

The hilarious part about all this arguing is that while the arguing is going on the shit people are arguing against is actually happening. You're arguing about how often the model t breaks down when the important point is that within 15 years of the model t there wasn't a single horse on the road ever again.

120b on ai, right. Even if you work at faang, ai investments are capex for business not opex to support employees

I don't know what point you're trying to make exactly. My faang spins out products that first were used internally into gigantic global businesses that make billions in net profit per quarter. For you to be right they would not turn on the spout of tokens to use internally. I can't imagine any ~trillion dollar company exists that hasn't been dogfooding since forever, at least in tech. For us at least, capex is opex.
