Gary Marcus criticizes the excessive hype surrounding Anthropic's upcoming IPO. He points out that despite Anthropic being in an SEC-monitored quiet period, numerous unverified financial projections have leaked, such as a Reuters report claiming $200B in revenue by 2028. Marcus questions the validity of these figures and analyzes the flaws in claims made by podcast guests about Anthropic's profitability per token, arguing that current projections lack mathematical basis.
