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.
Ah video games, yes I’m told those are popular. Admittedly I don’t interact with many of the things that AI is good at, other than programming. And it’s competency as a programmer is why I’m getting out of the field. Probably go be an electrician again.
It can make music , create art, and write but why would I want it? It can program but what software do I need that is so complex I need an AI to make it? 3 line sh scripts for text processing are not hard.
It can do theoretical math, but I’m not a theoretical mathematician.
It can answer emails but… Why? That’s creepy no? And once again it’s trivial to respond to correspondence.
All of the things it could replace are easier/cheaper to do by hand, and everything else is an extremely specific business case that I don’t have.
I hazard a guess that I am not alone in this case.
