My impression from skimming posts here is that people seem to be continually surprised by Anthropic, while those modeling it as basically “Pepsi to OpenAI’s Coke” wouldn’t be.
Meta seems to be the only group doing something meaningfully different from the others.
I’d say it’s slightly more like “Labor vs Conservatives”, where I’ve seen politicians deflect criticisms of their behavior by arguing about that the other side is worse, instead of evaluating their policies or behavior by objective standards (where both sides can typically score exceedingly low).

There’s a selection effect in what gets posted about. Maybe someone should write the “ways Anthropic is better than others” list to combat this.
Edit: there’s also a selection effect in what you see, since negative stuff gets more upvotes…
