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.

We already know what this administration is capable of. We all saw what happened January 6, 2020. We have seen ICE terror all across the country. We all know what type of person he is. They will stop at nothing to stay in power EXPECT a declaration of martial law. How will YOU respond?

Spending time this weekend getting ready for work next week? Not if you're Doug Ford! He started his summer break on June 9 and still has 4 weeks to go until he's back at Queen's Park. Wish you had 19 weeks of summer vacay? Should've become a deeply corrupt politician afraid of transparency, babes.

Doug Ford wears a blue apron and pretends to know how to barbecue. It's unclear which of his four homes he is at in this screenshot from a video. It could be his mom's home in Etobicoke that he inherited when she died. It could be his cottage on Fawn Lake. It's probably not one of his two condos in Hallandale, Florida.

Doug Ford. He's just like you and me, folks.

Have to imagine it's a coincidence that a president with historically low levels of approval and an open disdain for democracy is turning the White House into a fortress and building structures with snipers and drones and championing omnipresence surveillance and directing murderous secret police.

It’s very simple. AI isn’t independent or autonomous. It’s a tool being specifically programmed to commit crimes against humans and against rival businesses. But the fantasy of autonomy is an incredible facade that means total deniability and our political and media classes have already bought in.

As we get thrust into an unnecessary period of fascistic violence, war over resources, and the stripping of basic human services and dignity, the appeal of AI for the powerful isn’t just planning or war making, it’s creating a system that will do what they want and allow them to shirk all blame.

It's well known that the Trump administration wants to crush the Canadian economy to force us into a U.S. dominated-customs union. It's helpful to remind those who think there is some kind of "deal" to be had when the President shouts it from the rooftops.

Trump post saying that Carney is making the US "the enemy" "until their economy collapses, then it will prove to be very bad for Politics - worse than anything that has ever happened to a Canadian Politician. Just watch!"

Again, the lesson for Canada fron the tariffs - but also the EU, the Indo-Pacific and any other region looking to do business with the U.S. - is that the tools have been taken out, this will not end with Trump.

The totality of Carney's address is essential viewing, especially his detailing of the insane threats raised by Trump. Canada was “at war” over trade with the US after President Donald Trump “miscalculated” by escalating his tariff attack, Carney said.
