Sardonic commentary on Anthropic's S-1

From YouTube:

Anthropic — the maker of the Claude AI models — has filed its S-1 prospectus for what could be the largest IPO in history, at a valuation somewhere between one and a half and two trillion dollars. In this video Patrick Boyle goes through the filing in detail: the eighty-billion-dollar “loss” that isn’t really a loss, the genuine operating profit nobody expected, the growth rate that quietly halved in the third quarter, the eight hundred billion dollars of compute commitments buried in the footnotes, and a corporate governance structure that leaves ordinary shareholders with almost no say at all. Is Anthropic a two-trillion-dollar bargain, an AI bubble about to pop, or something nobody — including Anthropic — can actually price? We look at what the numbers say, what they don’t, and why the honest answer is that both the bulls and the bears are guessing.
