An essay asking whether Anthropic actively sought its position as frontier-lab and IPO candidate drew 187 points and a heated 159-comment thread (verysane.ai), amid a confidential IPO filing and ~$965B valuation framing. Add the calculation that FTX's forced-sold Anthropic stake would be worth roughly $75B today (Hacker News), and you get a picture of a company whose valuation compounded faster than the discourse around it. Worth watching as the IPO approaches and scrutiny intensifies.
