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.

Sounds familiar, amirite
As ruler, the king had to prove he could perform miracles. Therefore, the phrase that always preceded his majestic acts, such as building pyramids, great temples, or massive agricultural projects like dams, was: "Never has this happened in our land since the time of the gods."

I, too, had never heard “Choosin’ Texas” until I learned it was very popular and looked it up on Tidal. Thinking this is being siloed or somehow performative is such a weird take. A lot of people don’t listen to mainstream radio or streaming algorithms? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The cover for a book, "Writing BASIC Adventure Programs for the TRS-80", by Frank DaCosta.  The call text reads, "Create exciting computer games while you learn valuable new programming techniques!"  A dragon curls around a TRS-80, taking a swipe at a knight who is standing on the keyboard, his sword raised to take a swing at the fearsome beastie perched on the monitor and disk drives.
