Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Ink drawing in a sketchbook, titled "Round 1: PENANCE"
A group of ants carrying a big pen. 
The leader (who's not really holding the pen): "We must carry this PEN, ANTS! For our SINS!"
Another ant, to its friend: "What sins?..."
Third ant: "Shut up or they'll make us carry the whole twelve-pack."

Two women kissing emotionally. One is clearly showing signs of zombification, and the other has a small shotgun aimed under her partner's chin, a tear rolling down her face.Ink drawing in a sketchbook, titled "Round 3: Try-out Night at the Kamikaze Circus"
In the foreground, a pirate with a wooden arm and several cuts and bandages is peeking out of a cannon, lighting its fuse. He's shouting enthusiastically "YARRR and I bring me own cannon!". 
In the background there's a small judge's table with a person completely bandaged up, one in a full body cast and neck brace, and one who's just a pile of ashes. They're all holding up "10" signs.

Outliers main site page screeshot, 'the rare daily word game sweeping the globe. Find whats hidden in plain sight." with a how to play, black bold letters jumbled in a square, the bottom has 10 words left, enter a rare word, and a submit buttonDoes Outlier use AI?

    Yes. AI is one of many tools we use to build and operate Outlier. We use it to help improve the game, develop new features, troubleshoot and fix bugs, assist with customer support, research ideas, and help with writing and development.

    AI doesn’t run Outlier or make the final decisions. The concept, game design, rules, scoring, product direction, and decisions about what becomes part of Outlier are ours. The voice of the game is human designed by us, and AI writes in it rather than inventing it.

    We see AI the same way we see other technology: as a tool that helps us work faster, solve problems, and build a better experience for players. It helps us create and improve Outlier, not replace the people behind it.

It's officially autumn so time to announce: @nnesk.bsky.social and I are debuting #STARDATE at Thought Bubble festival! It's a 20-page comic book that's best described as Dating Reality TV On A Spaceship. Cheeky lil' preview coming soon!
A copy of STARDATE resting on my trusty fake plant display. It shows a young white red-haired woman in a blue dress, holding a rose in one hand, a martini glass with a little planet-topped stirrer in the other, and wearing a big, blue-eyed, confused expression. The backdrop is a sci-fi-ish window into outer space, divided into sections that each show a different creature in monochrome blue. The title is STARDATE in white and pink (with a little heart in the A), and our names at the top: Eran Aviram and Aviv Or

That’s a Mixam founder boasting about their new AI business 😬 Mixam has been a quality lottery for some time and I’ve been telling people to avoid them for a while. Another reason to be glad I’ve ditched them
Post reads

You're opening a café. You need menus.
Signage. Loyalty cards. Branded cups. Staff tees. Flyers for the launch. That used to mean six suppliers and a design tool you'd fight with for a week.
Now it's one conversation. You describe what you want. It arrives at your door.
That's Rendreal. After 20 years building Mixam into a global online printing business, this is my next act: a consumer brand where the whole experience is one conversation. Backed by Cimpress, the company behind Vistaprint.
The product works. It launches this summer.
Now I'm hiring the person who tells the world.
Head of Brand and Growth. Founding role, first commercial hire, reports to me.
The job:
• Build a brand around real objects. We sell the thing that arrives, not the technology behind it.
• Run a content and creator engine. Our viral unit is a real person opening a box.
• Get Rendreal recommended inside ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. New channel, no playbook.
We write it.• Operate with Al agents every day. One person, the output of a team.
Two unusual things about this role:
1. Part of the interview happens at the keyboard. You will build an agent workflow live.
If that excites you, you are our kind of person.
2. The successful version of you becomes our CMO.
Remote. North America, the UK or Europe.
Meaningful founding equity.
Apply: careers@rendreal.ai with three things.
Something you grew. Something you wrote. An agent workflow you built.

Slay the Spire 2 Mega Crit. No disclosure, "our programmers use AI for code reviews." Yano admits to using it as a thesaurus too. -y Misleading titled article: www.gamespot.com/articles/sla...
Slay the spire 2 steam store imageFollowing these discussions, I asked Yano if Mega Crit has a firm policy set in place against generative AI, as well as if the team uses AI in any other capacity. Yano explained that while he is against generative AI, he understands the usefulness of AI in other areas of game development and isn’t firmly anti-AI. That said, he suspects that most of the developers on the team don’t use it that often.

“Some of our programmers use AI for code reviews–it’s like a glorified spell checker. I sometimes use it as a slightly more involved thesaurus. But we don’t use generative AI,” Yano reiterated. “I think there’s a very different mentality, right? [When] you write code, you’re just trying to write code in the best way you can to achieve the objective that you want. There’s an end goal that’s definable. Art is not like that. It’s an expression.”
