Wild conspiracy theory claims Anthropic 'took out Jensen' ahead of its IPO
beffjezos · x · 2026-11-12
A circulating conspiracy theory notes that Jensen Huang is one of the biggest supporters of open-source models, while Anthropic — set to IPO next week and openly bragging about being compute-agnostic and less reliant on NVIDIA — would want to cement its closed-source future. The theory asks: did Anthropic run a campaign to get rid of Jensen?
Beff Jezos amplified it as a joke: deposing Jensen to achieve regulatory capture and vanquish Chinese open-source opponents "would be something an evil Singleton ASI would do." Pure AI-circle meme, no evidence.
