Tomorrow's premium: The Hater's Guide To Anthropic, a company burning $8 to $13 for every dollar it makes selling Claude Code and burning billions of dollars a year. It needs $283bn to survive the next 3 years. Here's $10 off annual. edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...

Despite its positioning as the trustworthy, “nice” AI lab, Anthropic is as big, ugly and wasteful as OpenAI, and Dario Amodei is an even bigger bullshit artist than Sam Altman. It burns just as much of its revenue on inference (59% - or $2.79 billion on $4.5 billion of revenue, versus OpenAI’s $2.5 billion (62%) on $4.3 billion of revenue in the first half of 2025, if you use The Information’s numbers), and shows no sign of any “efficiency” or “cost-cutting.”

Worse still, Anthropic continually abuses its users through varying rate limits to juice revenues and user numbers - along with Amodei’s gas-leak-esque proclamations - to mislead the media, the general public and investors about the financial condition of the company. Based on an analysis of many users’ actual token burn on Claude Code, I believe Anthropic is burning anywhere from $3 to $20 to make $1, and that the product that users are using (and the media is raving about) is not one that Anthropic can actually support long-term.

I also see signs that Amodei himself is playing fast and loose with financial metrics in a way that will blow up in his face if Anthropic ever files its paperwork to go public. In simpler terms, Anthropic’s alleged “38% gross margins” may, if we are to believe Amodei’s own words, not the result of “revenue minus COGS” but “how much a model cost and how much revenue it’s generated.”

Anthropic is also making promises it can’t keep. It’s promising to spend $30 billion on Microsoft Azure (and an additional "up to one gigawatt”), “tens of billions” on Google Cloud, $21 billion on Google TPUs with Broadcom, “$50 billion on American infrastructure,” as much as $3 billion on Hut8’s data center in Louisiana, and an unknowable (yet likely in the billions) amount of money with Amazon Web Services. Not to worry, Dario also adds that if you’re off by a couple of years on your projections of revenue and ability to pay for compute, it’ll be “ruinous.”

I think that’s he’s right. Anthropic cann…

Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
