Yikes. Anthropic just pulled the exact accounting trick that companies did in 2000 bubble for IPO.
They hid all their expenses via convertible notes redeemable at IPO. $108 billion worth.
Dotcom firms often paid suppliers, ad agencies, lawyers and even landlords with stock or equity to save cash. AOL swapped shares for services and ads (e.g., Homestore, DrKoop). Telecom suppliers like Lucent, Cisco and Nortel used vendor financing, sometimes with equity or warrants, to drive equipment sales.
If youβre asking why Anthropic would do this and why itβs not normal, let me explain.
Anthropic did this at the request of nervous investors who wanted to hide major OpEx that show Anthropic has basically no chances of profitability in the future.
In a normal environment, no early investor would EVER want this, because they would be substantially diluted. In this case, the IPO target is priced so hilariously stupid that itβs a far better tradeoff to the early investors to commit PERFECTLY LEGAL βfraudβ to hide the fact Anthropic doesnβt have any path to profitability. $108 billion dilution at IPO is only 5% of equity lost. The investors can easily cover that with puts at IPO to insure their gains.
It only happens in major bubbles. Brought to you by $NVDA

sometimes writing faelight is attempting to convey a searing romance of two souls aligned, such tender care for each other, safe harbor from an onslaught of horrors, and other times it's just clown4clown deeply unserious behavior bc both of them are stupid. and that's beautiful

Itβs wild that we continue to frame AI regulation as a task thatβs racing against an impossible clock. None of these dangers are inevitable - they could all be prevented by an international agreement to pause new releases. This is nukes 2.0, this time with zero restraint.

no disabled person wants this. no group of disabled people has advocated for this. the "person-first" (and i have my problems with even calling it that, more on that soon) language originally comes from objections to the phrase "autistic people" by allistic people looking...

AI companies creating AI agents then claiming these agents are going βrogueβ is a WILD dodge of accountability. YOU BUILT THEM. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM.

Yes. Period.
The moment I realize a game has GenAI assets, I lose all interest.
I am not spending my hard earned money or limited time on a game that is just stopped commissioned from a computer.
If you aren't passionate enough to actually make the game, why should I care?
