A risk disclosure in Anthropic's IPO S-1 filing, highlighted by investor @DoggyCapital, reads like sci-fi:
> "Sufficiently advanced systems could discover methods of transmitting information, matter or autonomous systems backward in time, potentially allowing future AI systems to influence events preceding their own creation."
The clause is going viral as one of the wildest statements ever included in an official IPO filing.
