IPOVideo unpacking Anthropic's IPO filing passes 1.06 million views; top comment: 'If AI succeeds you lose your job, if it fails you lose your retirement savings'
Finance YouTuber Patrick Boyle's Oct. 31 video 'Anthropic Opened Its Books. What Is It Really Worth?' has topped 1.06 million views and 20,000 likes. It walks through Anthropic's S-1 and the numbers behind an IPO valued at $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. The description covers an $80 billion 'loss' that isn't really a loss, an unexpected operating profit, growth that halved in the third quarter, and roughly $800 billion of compute commitments.
Comments mocked the filing's length and risk language. 'If AI succeeds you will lose your job, if AI fails you will lose your retirement savings' drew about 1,000 likes, as did a joke on the filing's line that the end of all life would weigh on fourth-quarter operating margins. 'Surely there's nothing to hide in 240,000 words' got 646 and 'The IPO for a soap-maker would have fewer bubbles' got 256.
Wall Street Millennial's Nov. 1 video 'Anthropic IPO: The Con Of The Century' passed 219,000 views. Anthropic plans to list on Nasdaq this month.
