If it's 100x ARR then I'll watch from the sidelines. But if it's 40x in October, and inference margin is strong, and revenue is still growing 20% per month, then I'm in.

Normies are on fire for SpaceX, where the economics are horrible and the hype is off the charts. Normies have never heard of Anthropic, where the economics are incredible and doom vibes are pervasive.

The risk of serious complications like major bleeding or perforation is closer to 40-80 per 10,000, significantly higher than the roughly 3-5 per 10,000 annual chance of actually having colorectal cancer for low-risk groups. My doctor says

My doctor recommended a combination FIT+DNA test instead of colonoscopy (brand name "Cologuard"). She said it's not quite as good as the "gold standard" colonoscopy, but it also doesn't have the risks of colono

Anthropic raised $30 billion at a $350 billion valuation (pre-money) in February. Google's deal from prior rounds likely lets them buy in at the same valuation other investors get every round, so they're just getting the February
