Well, a lot of that was weird financial bullshit and not real losses. The real losses, IIRC, were only something like $40 billion.I misread the earlier post and thought we were talking about all of 2025, where I know they had a bunch of weird financial bullshit losses that weren't "real" losses. I can't say that the $80 billion losses for the first half of this year aren't real.
AJ Sadauskasajsadauskas@mastodon.socialOct 25, 2026, 8:54 PM@Azuaron @andrew_deridder @stacey_campbell A $40 billion half-year loss, divided by 26 weeks, means Anthropic is "only" losing $1.5 billion every single week, rather than $3 billion every week.
Most other businesses would either be in liquidation or sold off to private equity if they lost $1.5 billion over a *year*.
That's an obscene amount of money.

@ajsadauskas @andrew_deridder @stacey_campbell Apologies, I actually have to retract what I was saying. I just realized we're talking about the first half of 2026, and not the whole of 2025. The weird financial bullshit happened in 2025; I don't know if any of their 2026 losses were weird financial bullshit or not; they very well might have $80 billion in real losses this year.
