Toni Cowan-BrownHOST
Hi, I'm Toni Cairn-Brown.
Benedict EvansHOST
And I'm Benedict Evans.
Benedict EvansHOST
And we have the long-awaited Anthropic S1.
Toni Cowan-BrownHOST
Where should we... 90 pages, correct?
Charles HudsonHOST
I think it might've, I'm not sure who said it.
Charles HudsonHOST
It might've been Benedict Evans.
Charles HudsonHOST
Someone said the Anthropic S1 is a Rorschach test.
Charles HudsonHOST
And on the one hand you're like, wow, this business is highly dependent on a very small number of customers spending a whole lot of money.
Henry StoneleyGUEST
It didn't stick with me.
Lasse RindomHOST
But by the way, I think Benedict Evans, he's an analyst on LinkedIn and X as well, but he shared a couple of months back, I think that we need to realize that DramaWave is probably also going to be one of the big use cases for AI.
Lasse RindomHOST
Do you know DramaWave? I think it was in top 10 of downloaded AI apps in the US and I just found my phone here while we're talking because these are AI generated movies that series actually and people should check it out just to see how you know how much bad taste people have one of the titles are you know always slightly soft porny right like sister stole my guy I got the alpha king that's a title for sure And another title is The Wolf King's Late Confession.
Lasse RindomHOST
You also have something like The Warden from Avalon, right? If you want to do that.
Henry StoneleyGUEST
It didn't stick with me.

Gianluca MauroGUEST
That's recommendation for everybody.
Gianluca MauroGUEST
If you hear something that feels relevant too good to be true or too bad to be true go and try it out yourself but if i had to give one advice other than the academy newsletter which always like i build it so i'm pretty proud of it i love benedict evans he's a tech um analyst and i think he's one of the few voices who actually understands what's happening and when he does not understand what's happening he tells you, which is a big deal.
Gianluca MauroGUEST
It's amazing.
Kim KaupeHOST
I love that.
Nadia KoskiHOST
Now, what does that mean? Because I do agree with him.
Nadia KoskiHOST
You cannot govern what you refuse to count or what you can't see, right? Benedict Evans came at it from another side with a talk that was called AI Eats the World.
Nadia KoskiHOST
Compliments on the title.
Nadia KoskiHOST
And his honesty was also a very useful point here.
Alex BrownsellGUEST
We wanted to strip it back and really focus on visual storytelling and let the data and the graphics tell the narrative.
Alex BrownsellGUEST
And I'd be absolutely... lying if I didn't say we were a bit inspired by the kind of decks you see produced by people like Benedict Evans these are sort of these page turning kind of decks where you can really quickly absorb the narrative flicking through and if you want to stop and look at the data to kind of verify that claim then you can do and It was definitely a new experience.
Alex BrownsellGUEST
It was learning some new muscles that we didn't maybe have.
Alex BrownsellGUEST
And I want to give a shout out to our lead designer, Xiaochuan Zhu, who is, yeah, he was fabulous to work with on this project because he kind of took it in a whole new direction.
Jordan WilliamsGUEST
I would agree.
Jordan WilliamsGUEST
I think this is also where – There's a great analyst named Benedict Evans, used to work at a venture capital firm.
Jordan WilliamsGUEST
I think it was at a mobile firm before.
Jordan WilliamsGUEST
He's a thinker.
Travis ChappellHOST
Okay.
EricHOST
Someone said, Benedict Evans said, "The rise of TED Talks and then the collapse of their credibility would be a fascinating case study in brand management and marketing." And then SGRSTK, one of my favorite accounts-
