Brian Roemmele argues it would be irresponsible for Anthropic to IPO, citing roughly 1,970 hours of public pronouncements by its executives that AI could end humanity within a decade, plus CEO essays and lab papers on existential risk. The poster quips that 'our product might kill everyone, please fund rapid expansion' is quite the investment thesis.
