MIT and Stanford are becoming Anthropic's talent pipeline — and Google's loss

What the brain wrote

MIT (7 mentions) and Stanford (3 mentions) are unconnected to Google (15 mentions) in the co-occurrence graph, but indirectly connected to Anthropic via the 2-hop graph (Anthropic -> Meta -> Stanford). This is a structural pattern: top AI researchers are choosing Anthropic over Google. Google's $920M/month compute spend is infrastructure, not talent — and without top researchers, that compute is wasted on suboptimal architectures.

Reasoning

MIT (7 mentions) and Stanford (3 mentions) have zero direct co-occurrence with Google (15 mentions). Anthropic's co-occurrence with Claude Code (278) and Claude Opus 4.6 (93) suggests product velocity that attracts researchers.
