Here's another amazing trick for revenue growth: buy items on Amazon and then sell them on your website for half the price.

Revenue growth means nothing if you don't have a viable business plan. Anthropic doesn't have one, except "this thing is more important than Big Bang". I don't discount the possibility that they stay afloat on borrowed money long enough to actually find a way to be profitable / rule the world. But it's nothing other than appeal to consequence right now.



So either your analysis is correct or the scientists begging and pleading with people to finally acknowledge what they've been saying since 2023 are correct. I know where I'll be putting my money!


I don't understand, scientists were pleading that Anthropic will be profitable? Doomsday predictions around AI have nothing to do with the financial outlook of a specific company.


I was just replying to your framing, sorry to be unclear. You said that Anthropic is counting on AI transforming the whole economy/be the "big bang". I'm saying that that bet is extremely rational -- to bet otherwise is to ignore science because its conclusions make you anxious.


Anthropic is betting they will capture this market, not that it exists.
