Per The Information, Anthropic is approaching IPO marketing while one of its own researchers publicly forecasts a greater than 10% chance of AI causing human extinction within a decade.
David Sacks seized on the report, arguing Anthropic's IPO should be paused until the "whistleblower's" claims can be investigated. The tension between the company's fundraise and its internal doomsday rhetoric is fueling a fresh round of debate.
