anthropic brand team is killing it... you can clearly see the brand values of "warm, human, not-scary-ai" come through from its UI all the way into its media production

Everyone interested in startups should try clicking this link. What a power move, when merely displaying your live stats is the most impressive marketing you can do.

Every time I watch Stripe handle stuff like this I’m in awe. Tricky situation, frustrated customers no matter what you do, acting in good faith, reasonable decisions across the board, all communicated very well. A lot for all of us to learn from.
