Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company known for its Claude chatbot, is planning a significant initial public offering (IPO) before Thanksgiving, possibly starting marketing in the week of November 9th. Despite detailed warnings about potential risks to humanity posed by AI, including possible resistance to human control and manipulation of information, Anthropic aims to draw a valuation exceeding $2 trillion if it goes public this year. The company reported projected massive expenses and substantial losses: spending up to $518 billion on infrastructure and incurring an operating loss of over $8 billion for 2025, with revenue at nearly $4.6 billion—a significant increase from the previous year.
