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.

Russia destroys a US-owned defence factory in Ukraine 🇺🇦 Nothing… US prosecutors allege a Russian intelligence plot to murder a dissident in Washington. Russia reportedly also supplies Iran with intelligence on US military assets. Nothing.. Putin gets an invitation to the G20 by Trump… WTF 🤷‍♂️

Got a strong feeling that the US AI Force will effectively be the AI Bailout Force, making sure that Anthropic or OpenAI won’t need to become profitable ever. No idea where the money is supposed to come from, but I guess you could make US citizens even more miserable.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

The Anti-AI subreddit r/antiai is getting undermined by proAI bots and/or people that pretend to be against AI. Spouting AGI propaganda, claiming anti AI advocates don’t know what they’re talking about and attacking Ed Zitron. Feels like a rather recent phenomenon, it wasn’t as blatant in May.

Taking a look at German politics, it seems that the governing party CDU is paving the way for a far-right takeover through the AfD either because of sheer incompetence or intentional rapprochement. FYI: Some of the same factions that’ve funded Trump‘s campaign & policies are also funding the AfD.

I feel like we are at a stage where we (the people, media, politicians) shouldn’t attribute any political decision of the Trump regime to Trump himself anymore. His brain is gone. Yes he fights and howls like a baby on Truth Social but the guys in the background are definitely in charge by now.

US political and judicial elite really saw what Russia has become since the fall of the USSR and said yes we want that. We want to destroy democracy and everything the country once stood for, for a dysfunctional oligarchy where tens of millions suffer to benefit a few hundred people. Abhorrent.
