Market debut of AI company behind Claude chatbot will be one of largest in US history, a test of its financial viability
Anthropic has publicly filed for a stock market listing, one of the largest debuts in history. The company’s float on the US market is likely to be a high-water mark in the multitrillion-dollar AI boom and a test of its financial viability.
Analysts and investors have valued the San Francisco-based company, founded in 2021, at more than $1.5tn. The company, which will will list under the symbol ANT, confidentially filed with US financial regulators for an initial public offering in June.
No, astronomy is the modern science of measuring and studying outer space. It grew out of astrology in the same way that the modern science of chemistry grew out of alchemy.
Astrology and celestial navigation are not the same thing. Astrology has nothing to do with navigation or planting/harvesting cycles. The only similarities astrology has with any of that is the position of planets, but astrology is strictly a divinatory practice.
If you don’t see the inherent connection between those two things, then I don’t know what to tell you.
If an ancient boat captain was consulting an ephemeris to determine their exact position, who do you think wrote/published the ephemeris?
Long before written language was ever invented, who do you think was studying the stars and saying “now is the time to plant”?
If that’s “divinatory” then so be it, but looking at it from a modern lens of how the term is commonly used today, is anachronistic. And it doesn’t change my original point anyway, because the movements of the stars are real, unlike the so-called “laws” of economics.
