Latest / In the Loop AI / Anthropic's IPO Is Not What It Looks Like: Inside the S-1 and the $80 Billion "Loss"
Transcript
- 0:00We're about 19 days out from the biggest IPO in history. Anthropix rumored to
- 0:05go public at around $2.2 trillion.
- 0:08And today they released their S1, which reveals a lot of important information
- 0:12and numbers as to how Anthropix is really doing under the hood.
- 0:16Are they able to make enough money? Can they afford the crazy $500 billion worth
- 0:20of capex that they've committed to spending over the next couple of years?
- 0:23And are we in an AI bubble? And to be honest, the market's been questioning
- 0:27it pretty aggressively recently.
- 0:29We've seen the largest drawdown eight days in a row
- 0:32of semiconductor stocks in the public market, and it's no mystery that the entire
- 0:36stock market is heavily reliant on two particular companies,
- 0:40Anthropic and OpenAI, and if they're making enough money to prop the entire
- 0:44market up in the first place.
- 0:45Well, today we finally have the answers, and honestly, guys, I'm a little surprised.
- 0:50I came in skeptical because I thought that some of the numbers were going to
- 0:53be inflated and that it won't make sense.
- 0:56But it turns out not only is it way more optimistic than I thought,
- 0:59but they have the numbers to back it up. Now, bear with me, this entire document
- 1:03was around 261 pages long, so it took a while to get through,
- 1:08but let's get into it on today's episode brought to you by Qualcomm.
- 1:14Now, it's only been a few hours since the S1 dropped. And one of the headline
- 1:18numbers is obviously the revenue. And there's no better way to say this,
- 1:22but they're crushing it. But it's not just the amount of money they're making.
- 1:26It's how efficiently they're making it. There's this great line from the semi-analysis
- 1:30folk, which goes, this is likely the most efficient scaling of a business in
- 1:34the history of capitalism.
- 1:35Let me tell you why. Three years ago, Anthropic made $41 million in the entire year.
- 1:41The next year, 2024, they made around $386 million.
- 1:46Good improvement. Then last year, they made around $4.6 billion.
- 1:50This year, we're not even at the end of it, but the first six months,
- 1:53they made $16.3 billion.
- 1:57This is the fastest growing company we have ever witnessed.
- 2:00That's about a 14x year over year growth. But what's more impressive is the
- 2:05fact that their largest cost, which is spending billions of dollars on compute,
- 2:10which we've spoken about a lot on this show, has finally paid off.
- 2:12And it's paid off almost 100% more. If we look at Anthropics revenue generation
- 2:18as a percentage against the amount that they spend per unit compute,
- 2:22we see that the revenue per $1 of compute
- 2:25is about $2.08.
- 2:28Now, if you backtrack this six to nine months ago this was very consistently
- 2:33under a dollar it was very capex intensive and what that told me at the time
- 2:37was that the models as good as they seemed as much as they were impressive to
- 2:41me didn't really translate into business value in the real world these numbers
- 2:46now tell the opposite story which is.
- 2:48It's very valuable for individuals and for companies out there.
- 2:52And Anthropic as a result is making a ton of money, over a dollar more than
- 2:56the amount that they invest in compute alone.
- 2:58And the speed at which they've done this is insane. It was literally Q1 of last
- 3:02year where this was completely inverted.
- 3:05I think for every dollar of compute that they spent or invested,
- 3:08they would make around 25 cents of revenue.
- 3:11But what's interesting and maybe slightly concerning is how concentrated the revenue risk is.
- 3:16Around 250 customers according to the s1 filing pay anthropic 10 million dollars
- 3:22per year so these are large huge hefty
- 3:25arguably long-term contracts anthropic typically signs long-term deals with a lot of these higher
- 3:30value companies and then around 2 000 customers pay about a million dollars
- 3:34per year and around 11 900 customers pay around 100 000 per year
- 3:41now if i think back to the conversation that Krishna Rao, the CFO,
- 3:45had, I think it was on Patrick Shornish's podcast, a few months back,
- 3:49these numbers were halved or even less than that.
- 3:52So we're seeing increasing concentration and increased profitability for a set
- 3:57number of customers, very high value customers that seem to be doubling,
- 4:01tripling, and quadrupling down on Anthropic and their models.
- 4:04And the data from OpenRouter, which is basically a public platform that routes
- 4:08people's requests across any most popular demanded model platform.
- 4:12It shows that Opus 5.5, since it released, Anthropic's token consumption has
- 4:17almost 3.5 to 4x, which is very impressive because prior to that,
- 4:22the trend showed that OpenAI's models were winning.
- 4:24So Anthropic's pulled something really special off with Opus 5.5.
- 4:28But it's important to point out that this doesn't necessarily mean that Anthropic
- 4:32is profitable. They had a humongous loss on their balance sheet, $80.6 billion.
- 4:38That's not actually strictly true, and I'll get into that in a second.
- 4:41But the idea is if you remove that and you actually look at the operating losses
- 4:45that they have, it's between $7 to $9 billion.
- 4:50And again, there's a lot of other hidden expenses. I question Anthropik's revenue
- 4:55calculation quite a bit, and we'll get into that in a second.
- 4:57But the idea here is they're generating a lot of money. And if you do a fund
- 5:00calculation of like dividing their profit or the revenue that they're generating
- 5:05across each of their employees, that's roughly around $6.6 million per employee.
- 5:11The most highly monetized company in the world. But what's also so interesting
- 5:15is how loyal the customers seem to be.
- 5:18They reported a net revenue retention, NRR, of 9x, 900%.
- 5:25What that basically means is, if you're a company that starts the year,
- 5:29January 1st, using Anthropics models, and you're spending a million dollars
- 5:34a year, by the end of the year, you're spending $9 million.
- 5:38Because you see so much value being reaped from your investment in anthropic models.
- 5:44So obviously that customer concentration risk that I mentioned earlier on,
- 5:49is actually showing up quite positively for Anthropic.
- 5:52Their models are providing these customers with a net difference from the likes
- 5:57of OpenAI, SpaceX AI, or Meta's models, or Google Gemini's models themselves.
- 6:02So the idea that's being implied here is Anthropic's models offers something
- 6:06very net new and useful. And listen, I'll speak from my own experience.
- 6:10I have access to all the Frontier models.
- 6:12And I would say that a large bulk of my work is still spent on Claude models,
- 6:16despite me using codecs from ChatGPT for multiple other things.
- 6:20So I can kind of like see the resemblance and pattern that is forming here.
- 6:24They have a huge customer loyalty. And what's interesting about this is,
- 6:28again, on Christian Rao's conversation three months ago, he said that the net
- 6:32RR back then was around 300%.
- 6:35And I remember that that blew my mind. I remember speaking about it on an earlier
- 6:38episode a few months back and saying how impressive that was.
- 6:41And back then it was the fastest growing net rr for any other company and we
- 6:46just see that 3x in a matter of months it's unprecedented the demand for these
- 6:51models has just skyrocketed.
- 6:53But what's also interesting is where Anthropic is making this money.
- 6:57You would think that these companies are just signing up to Anthropic.com or
- 7:01making the deals directly with the lab, but that is not the case at all.
- 7:05In fact, 48% of their customer revenue comes from cloud providers,
- 7:10the likes of AWS, Google Cloud Platform, as well as Microsoft Azure.
- 7:15So Anthropic is very heavily dependent on these legacy cloud systems where enterprises
- 7:22already have their sort of home.
- 7:24And I wanted to point this out because there's a lesson here.
- 7:26Even if you are a startup founder or just a regular enterprise trying to eat
- 7:31into this moat, it helps to be where these enterprise companies,
- 7:34these Fortune 500 companies already are because they're comfortable with their setup.
- 7:38They have these customer relationships with the likes of Amazon,
- 7:41Google, and Microsoft because they have such a sticky moat and relationship
- 7:45with their enterprise customers.
- 7:47If you're a startup and you're trying to break into replacing an existing product
- 7:52that an enterprise already has, and you go directly to the source,
- 7:55you're going to have a hard time because those customer relationships that they've
- 7:57built up with these cloud providers are already huge.
- 8:00Now, that means that Anthropic has a heavy dependency on these companies.
- 8:05Which aren't just cloud service providers.
- 8:07In some cases, they're also competitors. You kind of see Google,
- 8:11they train their own models.
- 8:12Gemini, they have their TPUs, which is their own version of their GPU.
- 8:15Arguably, they're going to be using their compute to train their models and
- 8:19to learn from all these other models that are being inferenced through their
- 8:22own cloud platform. Now, what's interesting is Google is kind of playing both sides for a while.
- 8:27Amazon is doing the same, but they're largely more of a cloud provider.
- 8:30And Microsoft, in my opinion, is largely more of a cloud provider.
- 8:32I don't see them as an AI lab. But Google is the distinction here. And they also have a.
- 8:40Own around 17 to 21% of Anthropic. They've invested billions of dollars.
- 8:45But let's put numbers aside for a second and look at the actual products.
- 8:48How's Claude Code doing? And do they have any other diversity across any of
- 8:52the other products? Or are they just reliant on Claude Code?
- 8:54Well, according to the S1, Claude Cowork, which is basically like the layman's
- 8:59version of Claude Code, if you aren't a software engineer,
- 9:02and you want to use it for multiple other things, but have that Claude Code-like
- 9:07experience without understanding or being technical, you would use Claude Cowork.
- 9:11And they launched this, I was about to say last year, but they've launched this
- 9:14literally earlier this year.
- 9:15And I remember it being launched. And listen, I was impressed by it,
- 9:18but I wasn't that impressed by it.
- 9:20I think some of the more personal agents that we're seeing today from the likes
- 9:24of Metamuse, GrokBot, ChatGPTDots, and now Anthropic's own Claude Duet,
- 9:29which we did an episode on, you should definitely go check that out yesterday,
- 9:32are much better instantiations or versions of this.
- 9:35Well, apparently I'm wrong. Claude Cowork is currently growing a lot faster
- 9:40than Claude Code itself.
- 9:42And that's a very distinctive sentence for me to say because Claude Code...
- 9:46Is by all means the bread and butter of Anthropic. That's how they make the
- 9:49majority of their money, token consumption through Cloud Code.
- 9:53So the fact that we're starting to see Cloud Cowork increase,
- 9:56it hasn't beaten the number of users that Cloud Code has, but is increasing
- 10:00at a quicker rate of adoption than Cloud Code right now,
- 10:04suggests that Anthropic might have finally hit the actual goldmine of products.
- 10:09Because remember, Cloud Code is very specific. It applies to software engineers
- 10:13and the technical know-how, there's a very limited population of the world that
- 10:17that applies to. But 99.9% of the rest of the world doesn't know how to code,
- 10:21but would like to have a similar magical experience to Claude Code.
- 10:24And Claude Cowork is that instantiation. So if you can imagine,
- 10:28we have the same sort of effect that Claude Code had,
- 10:31but on the rest of the world, on knowledge work, on any other profession that
- 10:35includes administrative roles, customer support, or whatever that might be,
- 10:38people will end up being not only a lot more productive, but Anthropik is going
- 10:42to end up making a hell of a lot more money.
- 10:44And this is just me extrapolating. I have no idea if that's actually going to
- 10:47happen, but it's a useful stat to see.
- 10:48Now, if I were to highlight a red flag about this is typically if you wanted
- 10:53to access Cloud Cowork, you would need to select a different tab,
- 10:56I believe, in the desktop.
- 10:57Now what they've done is they've sort of combined it with the homepage.
- 11:00So whenever you're using regular Claude on the LLM chatbot interface,
- 11:05it directs your prompt to Claude Cowork if it thinks that it's a work-related task.
- 11:10So it's a bit of UX and financial engineering, but it's not just Anthropic specifically.
- 11:16OpenAO is doing the same thing with ChatGPT work.
- 11:18I don't know how I feel about this. I actually think I'm fine by it.
- 11:21Let's see the numbers after they've actually gone public and they've done their
- 11:24first quarterly earnings. And of course, it wouldn't be Anthropic if they didn't
- 11:27have some very high-level, long-standing thesis predictions.
- 11:31Two of my favorite were expert-level autonomous systems within a few years.
- 11:36So Anthropic basically expects AI to match or exceed leading human experts across
- 11:42most professional and scientific disciplines.
- 11:44This isn't a surprise to me at all because over the recent few
- 11:48weeks and months, we've seen the likes of maths chemistry and physics make very
- 11:54meaningful progress due to these llms if i had to guess what anthropics models
- 11:58are going to solve first it's going to be in the medical and biological
- 12:02related field that's where anthropic has kind of designed and focused their moat on when it comes to.
- 12:08Real world application and to be honest i'm all for it as a former biologist
- 12:11and scientist i would love to see some of the biggest diseases get cured soon
- 12:15It's not going to be as easy as I'm saying it, but it's nice to see the focus on that.
- 12:19The other high level takeaway I liked was AI is already accelerating the development
- 12:24of its successes. Clawed helps run experiments, generate and process training
- 12:27data, automate evaluations and safety audits.
- 12:30Now, of course, with this, we're talking about RSI, recursive self-improvement.
- 12:35The idea of an AI model being so smart that it can build the next version of itself.
- 12:40Which seems very meta, but the reason behind this is you'll end up having AI
- 12:44that is self-improving.
- 12:46And so you will not need as many humans to try and figure out the complex research
- 12:50problems or tasks or way to improve itself.
- 12:52You can just kind of get the AI to do that, automate itself,
- 12:56and then you could focus your time on other things.
- 12:58And the idea here is if you have an AI model that can recursively self-improve,
- 13:02you can then chuck it at pretty much any problem that exists,
- 13:05whether it's physical or digital, and have a bunch of robots or your own digital
- 13:10brain figure it out for you.
- 13:12Now, that's, I think, a long way away. But if Jack Clark, Anthropics co-founder,
- 13:16is anyone to go by, he says that we're already experiencing the takeoff of that.
- 13:21And we're probably going to see something along the lines of RSI in the next six to nine months.
- 13:25And Demis Civis from Google has also confirmed this. So it's this weird thing
- 13:29where I'm sitting here and I'm trying to envision what a world like that looks like.
- 13:32I can't actually envision it. But if it does actually occur,
- 13:36if Anthropic is right, and they're not just doing this to, you know,
- 13:39raise a very hefty valuation for their IPO, then they'll end up making plausibly
- 13:44a heck ton more money than they're doing today.
- 13:47And we're already looking at the steepest curve of any capital company ever.
- 13:51So if they end up pulling it off, they can justify the crazy capex spending that they're seeing.
- 13:56But on that note, Let's get into some of the bear cases because there's a lot
- 14:00of money that is being committed to this and I don't quite know if Anthropic
- 14:03is going to be able to pull it off.
- 14:04Let's see. On today's episode brought to you by Qualcomm.
- 14:10Now, if you remember a few weeks ago, the headline number that Anthropic was
- 14:13rumored to spend over the next couple of years is $500 billion.
- 14:18Half a trillion dollars from a single company alone to acquire compute to train
- 14:23and inference their models.
- 14:25Now, that told me one thing off the top of my head. That's an insane amount
- 14:28of money and I have no justification whatsoever to see whether you can afford that. Number two,
- 14:34the compute scaling laws still exist. And that means that the most compute that
- 14:37you have, whichever company has the most compute, will own the best models.
- 14:41But the question is, can Anthropic afford it?
- 14:44Now, if you look at the breakdown of who they're spending this money on,
- 14:48it's quite interesting.
- 14:49$120.5 billion of that $500 billion is going to Elon Musk, SpaceX,
- 14:55who have recently pivoted in the most successful way to become one of the leading
- 15:00or number one neoclouds in the world. That is a company that would provide compute to others.
- 15:04And Elon has been able to pull this off because he's been a master scaler of
- 15:09GPUs. He built the best relationship with Jensen Huang, and he committed the
- 15:13longest and most expensive premiums to acquire Jensen's GPUs.
- 15:18And now he's sitting on the largest arsenal of GPUs ever. He's bringing on around
- 15:23200,000 to 300,000 GPUs online every month. That's around $13.1 billion worth of compute.
- 15:30And no other company has been able to achieve this feat. He is the master scaler.
- 15:34We made an episode on this last week.
- 15:35Elon Musk and SpaceX has sort of become a toll booth to some of the biggest,
- 15:40most important AI labs of which valuation relies on getting access to these
- 15:45GPUs. So they can't go directly to Jensen Huang or NVIDIA because he'll just tell you he's sold out.
- 15:49So they need to go through this third party or this intermediary who has gathered this arsenal.
- 15:54And Elon Musk is sitting there and thinking, cool, I'll charge you a hefty premium
- 15:57on that to the tune of around $3.1 billion per month.
- 16:02That's what Anthropic is going to be paying Elon Musk. So he mentioned several
- 16:05times that this is a temporary measure whilst we figure out the training of Grok.
- 16:09And remember, these contracts are non-cancelable. So Elon Musk at any time can
- 16:13just shut Anthropic off from this and be like, well, I don't care anymore.
- 16:17Now, another $115 billion Anthropic is spending on Google to acquire their TPUs,
- 16:23to diversify their GPU stack from NVIDIA's GPUs. And this is a smart move,
- 16:29in my opinion, because too much reliance on a singular.
- 16:32Type of GPU or metal block means that you are just heavily reliant on that company, NVIDIA.
- 16:37Diversifying to DPUs, to ASICs, which is what Anthropic and OpenAI,
- 16:41fair enough, is also doing is a smart move.
- 16:44What's also cool here is I guess Google's investing stake in Anthropic,
- 16:48which roughly sits around 17 to 20% of Anthropic.
- 16:53So it's this weird thing where Google should probably be using these TPUs to
- 16:56build a better Gemini model, but instead they're selling it to their biggest
- 16:59competitor, which eventually over time, if Anthropic actually does achieve RSI, then
- 17:05they will end up running away with it and making all the money because they have the best models.
- 17:09And Google will spend the rest of their time playing catch up.
- 17:12And this is not a bearish take on Google. It's just more of a strategic critique
- 17:16where I'm like, just use that compute to build a better model,
- 17:18Google. Invest now heavily, take the loss on your balance sheet,
- 17:22build a better model that will end up competing with the likes of Anthropic.
- 17:25Don't just give the game away.
- 17:26Now, what's interesting about the heavy capex commitment that Anthropic is committed
- 17:31to is around the amount of money they had.
- 17:34Now, if rumors were anything to go by over the last couple of months,
- 17:38Anthropic was said to have almost zero cash balance on the bank sheet because
- 17:43they've been burning so much money on compute, billions and billions of dollars.
- 17:47But when you look at this S-1 filing, it's quite the opposite.
- 17:49They have around $132 billion sitting in the bank account And maybe $19 billion
- 17:56of that is in investment-grade contracts.
- 17:58But the idea is they have a bulk of money dry powder sitting around to spend
- 18:03on some of these heavy capex commitments. So it's not just reliant on how much
- 18:06money that they make a month or a quarter or whatever that might be.
- 18:09They also have the cash to back it up.
- 18:11One thing that popped into my mind immediately when I heard this number was,
- 18:16$132 billion is roughly around the amount of money that Apple has and roughly
- 18:22around the same amount of money that Google and Meta had before they started
- 18:27spending so aggressively to acquire GPUs.
- 18:31Anthropic, although they're a startup that is incredibly young,
- 18:34is now playing on the same big boy play field as these other companies.
- 18:38Now, granted, Anthropic does not have the revenue diversification.
- 18:42It is way more precarious of a bet when it comes to considering Anthropic stock
- 18:46as an IPO level, because they don't have any other ways to make money.
- 18:49They are AI focused. If you look at Google, if you look at Meta,
- 18:52they have many other ways to make money.
- 18:53Anthropic doesn't have that safeguards. But it's just interesting to see that
- 18:57in order to compete with the big boys, you need to have enough money to do so.
- 18:59And Anthropic's balance sheet proves it. And Anthropic's compute commitments
- 19:03show it running on the S1 till 2045. The other companies These are included
- 19:07are Broadcom, which they're building custom ASICs with, which is like a separate thing.
- 19:11Google, SpaceX Air, which we mentioned, Amazon, $110 billion going to them.
- 19:15Amazon also a very heavy stakeholder in Anthropoc. I think that's around 12 to 14%. Crazy.
- 19:21Microsoft, NScale, Lambda and AMD. So the idea here is that Anthropoc is building
- 19:25out a very diversified portfolio of risk when it comes to acquiring their compute
- 19:29because that's their bread and butter that is needed for them to stay ahead of the game.
- 19:32Now, the other thing I want to address is the big headline of loss,
- 19:36which is $80.5 or $80.2 billion.
- 19:40That's just a paper loss, it turns out. This was, as we guessed it on this show
- 19:44a few weeks ago, just the paper loss recorded for equity stakeholders that need
- 19:49to be paid out for their early investments.
- 19:51So if you're an early investor and you invested in Anthropic five rounds ago,
- 19:55your stake is now worth a lot more money because Anthropic's valuation has increased.
- 20:01So Anthropic legally needs to record that as a loss on their balance sheet.
- 20:05I do not know why that's what the law mandates, but that's what that paper loss is.
- 20:09$72 billion to be specific. So the real loss is actually around $8 billion.
- 20:15$72 billion paper loss will not exist in the next quarterly earnings or public
- 20:20report that they eventually end up releasing.
- 20:22So again, a bit more fear mongering and a bit more of a nothing bug.
- 20:25I just wanted to, you know, debunk that myth. And so to round this up,
- 20:29I feel a lot more optimistic about the IPO.
- 20:33That's not to say I'm concerned and I justify the valuation or the price that it's going to be.
- 20:38I still think it's going to be quite overvalued. I still think there are an
- 20:42immeasurable number of factors that could influence the way this market swings.
- 20:46When it comes down to CapEx, bringing all those GPUs online,
- 20:49the $500 billion that they're spending, that's all well and good.
- 20:52But if you can't bring those GPUs online because you're constrained by power
- 20:56or the electrical grid or whatever that might be, war, political conflicts,
- 20:59anything that are outside of the purview of just AI.
- 21:02Anthropic is going to end up being in hot water. But from the numbers that I'm
- 21:06seeing where I thought they maybe weren't making as much money or revenue,
- 21:10maybe the revenue was slowing down.
- 21:12And actually, it is. Anthropic mentioned in the S1 that you can't expect demand
- 21:16to be sky high all the time. Things are going to slow down eventually and plateau.
- 21:20That's how these things work.
- 21:21But eventually, the idea is it becomes more consistent. Chamath,
- 21:25Apollo, and a number of other people for over the last
- 21:28couple of days have actually pointed out very fairly that a lot of the money,
- 21:33ARR, revenue that these companies are making are actually coming from VC-subsidized startups.
- 21:39So basically coming from VC money itself.
- 21:42What that looks like when it's not VC-backed, when it's actually coming from
- 21:45companies that are generating their own revenue for themselves because these
- 21:48AR models are so useful to them, is something to be seen.
- 21:53The other thing I'll say is that, well, I guess Anthropic actually said it.
- 21:56They said that the gap between what Claude can do and how widely it's used is
- 22:00one of the biggest growth opportunities. And I truly believe in that.
- 22:03When I speak to my friends and family who aren't involved in AI,
- 22:07their basic takeaway is, okay, why the hell do I care about Opus 5.5?
- 22:11Why do I care about any of these new models?
- 22:12I just use it for myself and it's not really useful.
- 22:15You know, I gave a story or anecdote.
- 22:18The other week where someone overheard grandmas playing around with Claude and
- 22:22saying, it can't even generate me a simple crossword, which you would think
- 22:26that it would be able to do.
- 22:27So there's this jagged frontier where the AI models are really good at very
- 22:31specific things, or they're really good at many things, but it's hard to try
- 22:35and figure out what it's good at.
- 22:36And if you think about 99% of the world, they want convenience, they want ease of use.
- 22:40And I think this will increase over time with the likes of things like personal
- 22:44AI agents and agents being more proactive and understanding and predicting what
- 22:48you might want to use, but that's going to take time.
- 22:50But that's what Anthropic is saying is the largest gap. They're saying with
- 22:53the existing models that they have, not even with the secretive Fable 5.5 models
- 22:57that they haven't yet released or announced, these models as they exist today
- 23:01can end up unlocking so many more billions of dollars worth of value.
- 23:04And that is an optimistic take. And it's honestly one that I believe not just
- 23:08for Anthropic, but a lot of the other AI companies that are out there that are
- 23:11building these very important models.
- 23:12I'm bullish on the entire sector in general. That is my take.
- 23:15I'm going to leave you guys actually with this hilarious meme so nick carter
- 23:18he honestly got me when i read this
- 23:20he goes i knew anthropic s1 would have some goofy risk factors but this has
- 23:23to take the cake and he goes on to include an image of what is supposedly meant
- 23:28to be in anthropics s1 filing which is a clause around roco's basilisk for those
- 23:32of you who don't know roco's basilisk
- 23:33is this theory that.
- 23:36What was a theory or something that's presumed to become true eventually, where,
- 23:41the future AI superintelligence, that is the all-seeing, all-knowing,
- 23:45will look back on the history of content and the internet, listening to the
- 23:49words that I'm speaking to you right now, and judge each individual to see if they were,
- 23:55helpful in building AI in general.
- 23:58And if they were not, they'd be subject to some form of penalty,
- 24:01penalization, or being put in perjury, or some kind of mental prison.
- 24:06It's like a whole fantasy thing that's existed for a while, but something that
- 24:10Anthropik and the likes of OpenAI have referenced or people that have worked
- 24:13there have referenced many times.
- 24:15So the idea is there's this like all seeing AI that is listening to us as we say right now.
- 24:19And this meme basically includes it as a clause of contract in the framing of
- 24:23the S1 and IPO, where it says if you don't invest in this company,
- 24:27it could be seen as a negative thing because Basilisk will come to get you.
- 24:30But anyway, just wanted to leave you on a slightly uncomfortable but hilarious
- 24:34note there's a lot of new subscribers over the weekend we had one of our record
- 24:39weeks one of our videos got around 200 000 views
- 24:42loads of you subscribe turns on notifications if you aren't any of those people
- 24:45please do so it helps us out massively so let me know your thoughts and thank
- 24:49you so much for listening i'll see you on the next episode of in the loop brought to you by Qualcomm.
