I love working on Selaco. I also know it might be the last game I ever get to make before AI trash swallows this entire industry. It's depressing, but it also motivates me to make this the best fucking thing I'll ever make.

A federal district court just held that police use of Flock cameras without a warrant violates the Fourth Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
constitutionally collect this information about one car-and its driver-by
following that vehicle on public roadways over a month. But this leaves the
question of why is it the government's business where everyone goes all the
time? The government cannot go snooping through our personal lives and
business without an adequate basis to do so. That is what the Supreme Court
has said since its decision in Katz through its decision in Chatrie this year,
nearly sixty years later. It is not too much to draw the line at indiscriminate
mass surveillance.
No doubt, ALPR technology comes with remarkable benefits that the
Court cannot ignore. But the Fourth Amendment requires courts to draw a line when the cost is too great. Alaniz's search in just the ALPR system
provided him with more than 50 individual records of Kyle's whereabouts
across the country for an entire month. The Court finds that because the
ALPR systems Alaniz used to search Kyle's historical location information
intruded on her reasonable expectation of privacy in the whole of her physical
movements, it was a search under the Fourth Amendment. Based on the
information in the record, the only reason Alaniz conducted that search was
because he saw her license plate was from California. That search was not
supported by probable cause, and it was done without a warrant in violation
of Kyle's Fourth Amendment rights. That search also has a nexus to the
remainder of the traffic stop because Alaniz began following Kyle's car while

Anthropic's leaked IPO prospectus showed that it spent $2.75 to make a dollar in 2025, making it a worse business than OpenAI. It lost $8bn on $4.6bn in revenue. Boosters will say 2025 doesn't count - or, put another way, to ignore your lying eyes. www.wheresyoured.at/dead-money/
That was originally where this newsletter ended, but the night before this was due to go out, parts of Anthropic’s S-1 leaked to Reuters, showing the shocking financial condition of the company as of the end of last year.

In 2025, Anthropic lost over $8 billion on $4.6 billion in revenue. 25% of its 2025 revenue came from two customers, and its compute costs were $7.33 billion for the year. It technically had a net loss of $42 billion, but that was stock-related and was not a cash loss. 

Reuters did not report on Anthropic’s 2026 numbers, and while in theory its economics could have improved in the last three quarters, there are reasons to believe that things have gotten worse, such as the fact that it has resorted to using adjusted margins as a means of faking a “profit” in Q3 2026. In any case, I find it strange that Reuters reported on only a section of the S-1, and if it turns out anything was held in reserve for some reason I will be deeply disappointed. I will be fair and assume it was a limited slice of the prospectus, and that Reuters will diligently report anything it finds, and it is an incredible exclusive.

So, let’s talk about how terrible of a company Anthropic was in 2025. 

It spent $12.65 billion in operating expenses to make $4.6 billion of revenue, otherwise known as spending $2.75 to make a dollar. This, shockingly, means that Anthropic was a worse business than OpenAI in 2025, when it spent $34 billion to make $13.07 billion (per my own exclusive reporting of its audited financials), or $2.60 to make $1.

While things could change in 2026, it’s important to note how many people said that Anthropic was “a better business” that would “be profitable faster than OpenAI,” which is, until we are able to see both of their audited 2026 financials, somewhere between a myth and an outright lie.

So many people told me that Anthropic was more-profitable! So many people assured me that this company had worked it all out, when in fact Dario Amodei’s horrid son was just as obese as Altman’s, a rotten, unprofitable carcass.

Boosters are already boiling their copium kegs, angrily oinking that 2026 “will be better” and that “Anthropic has been more profitable.” At this point I have less than zero interest in anything that hasn’t gone through an auditor, because it’s very clear that, through either misinforming investors or the media, Anthropic has intentionally obfuscated the full horrors of its economics.
