Anthropic has filed for an initial public offering that is set to value the Claude maker at more than $1tn
>>
exit scam
>>
>>108958125
That's what an IPO is yes. The reason Anthropic and SpaceX are getting media attention is because the NASDAQ changed their rules specifically to make it easier for these two companies to get a lot more money from a lot more people faster. They are bypassing the normal one-year probation periods and going straight into everyone's retirement funds at valuations that have not had time to float on the market. Or in other words, they get as much money as they decide, no questions asked.

From my birds eye view of this industry, I think its talent.

I've been following elons moves very closely ever since he bought twitter, and his decision to make grok shorty after was something I expected to happen. However now at this point elon seems to be putting his finger in every single pie, almost wildly.

For instance, right now he has a deal where he can buy cursor for 60bn dollars if their partnership with SpacexAI, formerly xAI formerly Twitter's algorithm department, goes well. Dude literally wants to buy a shitty coding agent wrapper thats a literal fork of VScode either because he thinks harvesting bot written code and feeding it back into the machine is somehow useful, or, he's too retarded and incompetent to hire new devs to make his own clone of VScode.

He also has this thing where the past few years he only thinks about AI in terms of power deployment, and he has this new plan to put all of his datacenters in space. But he never ever talks about how much compute, how many operations a second his gigaclusters could do.

You'd think people like elon, or even openAI, with the massive datacenters and sheer amount of compute they have under their belt, would try and claim some records for fastest supercomputer or largest cluster. and they never do.

The bottleneck is talent, and the talent we need is competent CEOs that actually understand the needs of AI as a technology and dont focus on AI as a marketing squeeze.

talent, cheap components, and power.
there's no more data, see what ilya says about this.
we need better architectures that make use of already available data, cheaper compute or cheaper to run architectures, and power.
also, "compute" as in wait for data centers doesn't cut it. this isn't the internet and cisco building pipes. two thirds of a data center cost is the gpus which have to replaced fully every ~3 years.

funny how 4.8 is worse than 4.7 which was worse than 4.6

>>
>>108958324
cursor buy out is elon's last ditch effort to be competitive
his whole team left, heavyweight researchers have their own labs, no one wants to go near the toxic waste dump that is grok
except for cursor that is. they see the writing on the wall.
without a frontier coding model ,the other labs will kill their business so the arrangement with elon is mutually beneficial - they get paid and exit - elon gets a coding finetune and a bunch of logs.
anyone with talent will get out of there after getting paid though.
the datacenters in space is just elon-slop to pump his ipo - the spacex numbers without insane projections for AI revenue make it a lot less attractive.

openai's been weirdly quiet about their mythos equivalent.
there was a short period talking about spud and then nothing - probably holding it back for their own ipo.

>>108958267
Compute, every coding agent is bottle necked by compute. Bottlenecks are due to not being able to print more computes for cheap, not being able to build data centers fast enough (too many NIMBY),
not being able to use power (by self generation on site or through grid). As majority of the society has said you cannot use the grid, they have to build their own power, and yet, the same society is trying to stop them from building more power.

US has flatlined on power generation for the last ~40+ years. China is building ~100 nuclear power plants a year.

Ideas.
Nobody cares about the cost, and it's being largely subsidized by investments anyway, nobody is being rate limited.
What's happening though is a bunch of companies that were bound more by their ideas of what they could actually do or provide. The narrative in some places has been that they want to build everything but only have so much engineering time, but that's not true, engineering was almost always scaling to whatever business wanted.
The thing creating a perceived bottleneck is that in the past because there was perceived effort and cost required to build things, people were selective with what they chose to build. In the before times, everything people wanted was still getting built. Now, all that stuff is still getting built, but all these legacy companies are also trying to get all their engineers to also build everything else that can possibly come to mind without any thought about whether it is a real product, useful, or can fit into the business.

Once that stops, and people start aiming AI effectively at problems rather than scattershotting it all over the place, things will settle down. But the companies that succeed in this landscape are going to be small and lean, the legacy companies of hundreds and thousands of employees don't work anymore because the compounding communication issues are overshadowed by the speedup in development given by AI.
Think of it in terms of the adage "If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together". That's a spectrum, but with manual development you needed some critical mass of developers to reach the base line to go far enough to be a real, proper billion dollar company (unless you're a scam). With AI, you still need that, and the bigger you are the more devs you'll need and the slower you'll go. It's inevitable. BUT what AI has done is shift that critical mass point WAY down, maybe even to 10% of what it was.

uh? nta but it seems obvious that spacex and anthropic are ipooing at values that due to waivers guarantee their inclusion index funds like two weeks after launch as long as their stocks don't crater, and their unusually small initial floats make it virtually impossible for them to crater before that happens and they get these institutional investments. it's smart, shouldn't be allowed, but I used to wonder when a way to shake down passive index funds would be found, and it looks like it has been found, rip all my investments, or to the moon with them, I don't know anymore, all I know is that this introduces way more volatility in what should be boring investments than should be allowed.
>>
>>108961051
>anthropic only plans to freely float like 5% of its stock
that's the main part of the pump scheme dude. normally it's 60-90%. it drastically increases valuation due to artificial scarcity on the 5% of shares floating around that then gets multiplied by 20 even though if more stock was listed it wouldn't all go for that high.

I don't think that's how it's going to work. They're rushing these IPOs into the Nasdaq, which means any index fund (like most people's 401k retirement plans) will be forced into buying it.
They're setting themselves up so that politicians can argue for their bailout because otherwise people's retirements are hurt.

s&p 500 allocation is float adjusted, i.e. the allocation is based on the market cap of the floated shares, not the total market cap.
anthropic float is ~5% at ipo, and at a $1T valuation that's $50B in floated shares.
Anthropic will be ~0.072% of the index. it's nothing.

Short-sighted take. This goes way beyond money.
The goal is to have an AI they control that tells people what to think and how to run the machines. And people who are too stupid to do either without AI help (thus pulling up the ladder indefinitely = until inbreeding destroys the ruling class enclave). Will they make boomers pay for it with their pension? 100% and its kind of funny.
This is an attempt of the ruling class (only cucks call em 'elites') to actually become better than everyone by bringing the common man down. The bubble is just getting started.
>>
>>108967905
Of course it's about money. Every man and their dog is trying to figure out how to make money from AI. Floating it on the stock market just further legitimises it even though they still haven't got a clue how to make money besides charging for tokens (good luck with that buddy, people don't like it).

Ironically, funding.
All funding is being funneled in nothing except transformer-based LLMs. All other techs, all other direction, all other engineering is unfundable. Example: you want to build a logic layer that will allow LLMs to extract logic from user statements and large databases and use this to provide grounding? No fuck you, you're not getting a dollar. You want to train state space models (which have shown on reasonably large data to be far more efficient than transformers, particularly with long context and needle in haystack problems)? No fuck you, not transformer enough (it's why the only place you see them is as sublayers of transformer-based archs in things like qwen). You want to yet again train transformers on yet again infinite data like everyone else is doing? You have no moat or insight? Yes, please take all our money.
It's not ideas, it absolutely in no way is talent (the talent is everywhere, it's just getting squandered at a level never seen before), it sure as fuck ain't compute or data.

That's a good question. The company I work for fired the customer support team it had in the Philippines and replaced it with an AI chatbot this year. Those guys in the Philippines worked for peanuts, they weren't particularly good, but the company got the quality level it paid for. However, all customers got access to support, even if it was slow to respond so it was rather equal. Nowadays, the access to this AI chatbot requires a VIP account so only users with the highest subscription tier get some level of support. Everyone else gets no help whatsoever.
