Anthropic have confidentially filed for an IPO, slipstreaming in behind SpaceX in the race to be the first AI shop to go public.

Also, a humanoid robot thesis is born.

Anthropic: Might IPO Maybe Sometime Eventually?

What is good AI? What is bad AI? What amount of AI usage is too much for the public to stomach and how little is enough for them to turn a blind eye? If I have plastic in my balls, is my progeny going to look like a bionicle? If so, how do I maximise the amount of plastic in my balls? I yearn for the love and affection of my little baby bionicle boy. I will raise him to worship at the alter of the Toa. He will usher in a new era of peace.

Anthropic has been talking up their world-threateningly powerful new Mythos model, suggesting it needs to be held back from the public because we cretins can't be trusted with it. So they gave us a nerfed version called 'Fable', but the US government got tipped off, said "Not today, champ" and forced Anthropic to take it back down. James and Raph come together this week to discuss why this all happened, the marketing of AI as big and scary, and also plastic in your balls.
