If I’m reading this right, Anthropic has no choice but to IPO now because it doesn’t have the money to cover its computing / infrastructure obligations next year
Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows sweeping AI vision, surging costs. 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.

A co-worker jokingly referred to our AI assistant, which often regurgitates my work if you ask it a licensing question (or question in my coverage areas) as “Virtual Wes” and “AI Wes” and he has no idea how inappropriate that is, and how much it pisses me off.

When your reaction to this is “maybe I should keep this in my closet to avoid that conversation” that means you chose not to hear a thing in that conversation that other person had to say
![tweet by kedrick james: Unknowingly wore my Kalshi hoodie to the gym this morning and an older black gentleman compared the damage Kalshi is doing to young black men to the KKK and so I think I might have to keep this one in my closet going forward because I don’t need to have that convo again
reply by GL:
Kalshi is objectively detrimental to society and you should be reminded of that every day
