Cryptographer and former Harvard professor Boaz Barak quoted Ed Zitron's 20-month-old critique of Anthropic, endorsing its central claim that "this company is not worth $60 billion." The old piece flagged Anthropic's "projected (made up)" $12B 2027 revenue against $14.7B raised, called it an also-ran LLM company that failed to productize, and compared its CEO's promises to Sam Altman's — reigniting valuation debates.
