> Apple, Amazon, Intel, and NVIDIA didn't stay private until clear market dominance either.
Apple, Amazon, Intel, and NVIDIA all went public in an entirely different world, before the JOBS act.
I'm not necessarily taking the position of the person you are replying to, but using these companies' IPOs as comparisons for what Anthropic is doing doesn't really make sense.

Why not? Win the stock market, break ECC and own the internet. There are many ways to make infinite money if you have infinite intelligence but not infrastructure. True RSI wouldn't announce itself
Sure but currently the market wisdom is that companies tend to stay private longer and longer:

This is no longer the days of Apple, Amazon, Intel, Google, NVIDIA and Tesla.
wtf was tesla's world-changing product? when does it come out?
Because private rounds still dilute you.
And VCs tap out well before $100B.
And they'll need more than $100B to accelerate widespread economic diffusion.
And RSI can't hallucinate gigawatt power plants and TSMC fabs into existence.
