Per a Forbes editors' pick: Anthropic's IPO filing includes a private line of succession — confidential lists of would-be heirs to the founders' voting power, chosen by the founders and approved by one another. The arrangement lets the founders' governance control persist through hand-picked successors even after they step away. Commenters quip that "the actual successor is Claude."
