Hard Fork (NYT) · rss · 2026-10-30
NYT's Hard Fork dedicates its lead segment to Anthropic's S-1 filing with reporter Erin Griffith, calling it the clearest view yet into the business side of the AI boom and setting up what could be the largest IPO in history. The hosts ask whether we're in an AI bubble and what the debut means for the company, the industry and the broader economy.
Mike Isaac and Jasmine Sun then cover the week's other news: how next week's midterms could shape tech policy, fresh cybersecurity worries, PHP-related website outages, and Microsoft offering buyouts to 60,000 employees as it ramps up AI spending.
