Claude's GPT Moment

SHOW NOTES Is Claude Code Anthropic's "ChatGPT moment"? The question has been everywhere this month — Bloomberg, Fortune, Axios, developer Twitter.

That's a remarkable claim from the CEO of Anthropic — the company behind Claude. Today we unpack what he actually said, check his track record on similar predictions, and ask what it means for people using Claude right now.
