![In any case, these numbers are as bad as I’ve always thought they’d be, if not a little worse. I don’t see how this company becomes one that can afford its $518 billion in compute commitments, nor do I see how it magically works its way out of the economic equivalent of septic tank.
This company will, if allowed to go public, likely lean on the very same junk-grade/high-yield debt that AI data centers and neoclouds like CoreWeave currently need, and it will do so at volumes of somewhere between $50 billion and $100 billion a year for a company with few assets, endless losses and a CEO with the grace of a drunk elephant.
Anthropic is not the future of technology, nor is it the next Google, nor is it the next Microsoft, nor is it, to quote Reuters, capable of “[transforming] the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreibkavaf5awfhd7xb4vvfwbfw2slzuouneonmvzpyroom6sxsmvffy)
![OpenAl's policy director Jack Clark wrote that the company was "creating systems that substitute for the labor of the people that define the 'culture' of society" and Microsoft, in a policy document, wrote that generative Al could "significantly disrupt the employment of the very people who generated the data on which the foundation model was trained [...] LLMs are a product that destroys its supply chain." OpenAl called itself an "existential threat" to news publishers, and an OpenAl software engineer testified that "no matter how prominently we show the links, users won't click."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e7nifb4uq4qzulm5wweno5nh/bafkreicg5tfu53g4kqm4lkhhpxvxdt3rgr2fjv4zsi4uqtio6uajsu6uia)
