Correct move on handling the financial aspect yourself. I asked my mine to do everything but forgot to give it some dough. It sorted it all out but ended up with $6.3B on its account and I think it might have done something dodgy.

It’s all good, just tell Anthropic that you’ve invested $6.3B in them, and in return, they get $6.3B of your product over the next 10 years.

It’s what all the other companies are doing!

If you owe the bank $10k, that's a you problem.

If you owe the bank $10Mil, that's the banks problem.

If you steal $10Bil from the bank, the government bails out the bank and now it's everyone's problem.
