How does a company even consider this while the CFO is privately saying the books / revenue accounting are not ready for public scrutiny? Edit: Or has so much somehow changed in two weeks that it’s no longer necessary to wait until next year?

Can't they just tell GPT-5.5 to fix their books, make no mistakes? Are the accountants also not replaceable by AI when doctors, lawyers and engineers are?

If you're an investor you should try Deepseekv4 before you put your hard earned money in this gambling spree. Context - Deepseekv4 is freely available to download you can host your own and sell it keeping the proceeds and it rivals Claude Opus 4.7. "Thank you for your attention to this matter"

Isn’t knowing how to scale and optimize llm traffic the main barrier ?

That's just a "more hardware" problem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Anthropic actually turned an operating profit recently due to huge revenue growth.

Do you have a source for that claim?

Hmm, it looks like if their revenue doubles to ~$10B and their expenses don't, they stand to gain a very sweet ~$500M.

That being said, it does look like it's being partially subsidized by Elon burning lots of money. We'll see if he can keep it up or if it will be left behind as hardware evolves.

What is the advice from the internet? Did you invest in Tesla and now invest in Open AI because who cares about ethics if you can make money? Anthropic has the obviously the better product and were seemingly ethically better until they burnt their developer goodwill and started accepting Musk infrastructure. But does having a better product actually translate to making more money? Should I just lay down and die becau…

Tesla used to be a kind of “ethical” play. They made electric cars cool.

ETFs are a trap. Put most of your money in single stocks. It is ok to diversify, you don't need an ETF for this.

This is terrible advice, are you buying and self balancing hundreds of different stocks?

Direct indexing is a thing.

Maybe they need those accountants to buy stock first before they put them all out of work?

I can’t say I’ve tried this but the thought just came to me that generating such trades would be trivial to do monthly now.

>Anthropic is currently in talks with investors to raise money at a $900 billion valuation, which would push it ahead of OpenAI.

How you go from 380 to 900 billions in a month, I am very curious? So now Anthropic is evaluated 900 billions! Journalism this days is worse than my kids social media channel. Totally, I believe you, go for it, is just one more zero bro. Everyone Brace for Impact.

Let´s do it also, Breaking News: HUGSTON in talks with investors now Evaluated at 1 Billion Euro.
