Ben Lorica and investor Evangelos Simoudis dissect Anthropic's S-1 on The Data Exchange podcast: explosive revenue growth, improving unit economics and enterprise adoption — but a staggering $800 billion in compute commitments, plus competition from open-weight models and dependence on coding. They also cover SpaceX's emerging neocloud business and debate frontier AI lab regulation proposals, including restrictions on AI self-improvement, independent testing, and mandatory security incident disclosure.
