Half of Anthropic’s founders follow me on twitter and I probably couldn’t get a job mopping their floors.

the first time i visited Anthropic it was a 160-person start-up in Jackson Square with no products and no revenue. there was an office throne made of empty Liquid Death cans and everyone seemed vaguely allergic to making money.

that was THREE YEARS AGO.

now they're going to go public at $400 quadrillion and bring about the teleological end of capitalism. what a world.
