alt Hacker NewsHow? They're already burning $2 bills to make $1, court documents shown that Anthropic has already been lying around revenue (claimed to have made $19 billion when it's actually $5 billion to date [1]).
Not hard to believe they're lying about other things when they've been lying about the capability of their products since inception.

This is not lying, that is just what run rate revenue means! It makes sense to use as a metric when a company’s user base is growing as fast as Anthropic’s is.

That is not what the article says, it says $19B ARR.
I don’t necessarily see a contradiction. $19B run rate, achieved very recently, is actually consistent with $5B lifetime earnings, because their growth curve is so sharp. Zitron is not good at math.
