It’s always great when someone who doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about decides to pipe up.
Re:Anthropic S-1 on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @04:28AM (#50256086)
No it doesn’t. They are hand waving away a 70Bn loss which is in every possible way an operating loss other than name.

They paid for their compute in equity in the company, not cash. Therefore their losses don’t show up as cash. I don’t understand how people are this gullible.

Re:Anthropic S-1 on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @04:26AM (#50256068)
It’s per unit of bullshit. No one knows what the true cost of Anthropic’s compute is because of circular financing.
Re:Anthropic S-1 on Monday October 26, 2026 @05:05PM (#50250940)
lol yeah if you completely discount the actual amount they paid for that compute which is hidden in the 70Bn of debt which is waved away as a non operating loss, sure.

If I was selling dollars for 50c and Nvidia, alphabet and Amazon giving me dollars for a piece of my company, my revenue growth would be the same. That’s what Anthropic is doing.
Re:Anthropic S-1 on Monday October 26, 2026 @02:56PM (#50249131)
who gives a shit what Jack Clark thinks? I’d be shocked if anyone at Anthropic did. In an industry full of grifters and leeches you’d be hard pressed to find a bigger one.
Re:Anthropic S-1 on Monday October 26, 2026 @11:37AM (#50245569)
No it doesn’t. Everything comes back to whether the fundamental business can ever be profitable.

So far not a single company has ever demonstrated that.

Even if demand is through the roof which it seems to be, it doesn’t matter if every dollar they sell costs them more than a dollar.

you're citing out of something. not your head.
it doesn't exist. Anthropic overtook OAI as the most unprofitable company in human history
Re:Siri AI on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @08:33AM (#48460272)
they are literally burning billions of dollars and can presumably keep doing this for a while. Taking a trivial amount of additional financial liability to launder their reputation wouldn't meaningfully improve things.
Re:Siri AI on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @08:28AM (#48460230)
there is this bullshit term you hear paraded about the dwarkesh-adjacent circles: "capability overhang". Aside from being effectively meaningless jargon, there is a kernel of an idea that somehow the models are far more capable than what "normies" use them for.

Well, I think Siri AI puts this notion firmly to rest. Yes, if you have unlimited tokens and well-posed problems you can solve open Erdos problems. However, if you have meaningful real-world computational and reliability constraints then you better just stick to "summarize my messages and find the dogs in my photos".

And this isn't just Gemini, I can burn effectively unlimited Opus tokens and still get garbage code out or be run around in circles without very diligent oversight.

Honestly, how do people who know so little have this much confidence to post here?

Yes, this is utterly fucking bonkers.
Re:The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19 on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @05:58AM (#47321160)
have you heard of people not surviving into old age, or not being present or not being able to take care of kids? What the fuck is wrong with people in this comment section?
Re:The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19 on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @05:57AM (#47321145)
nah you're only speaking out of your ass
Re:The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19 on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @05:57AM (#47321134)
yeah, what the fuck? This comment section is utterly fucking insane.
Re:The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19 on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @05:55AM (#47321118)
Never has a website's title been so consistently wrong over such a large variety of subjects.

It’s also a way to distract from the fact that alleged pedophile and rapist Elon had 3 underaged foreign nationals trafficked to him at the space x headquarters by convinced pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein, per the Epstein files.
So solve it?
No it’s not. It’s made up bullshit that arises for reasons that literally no one can formalize or reliably prevent. This is the exact opposite of specific.
ok so no evidence of highly illegal mass gender based discrimination.
