alt Hacker NewsIt is looking entirely plausible to me that Anthropic will make a profit in 2027.
Don't you think that it's less than reasonable to suggest that the technology will take on the order of 20 years to mature into widespread adoption and profitability?

Then you should invest heavily in their IPO, I suppose.
You'll do much better than those of us who believe there is no way their financials can ever work.
I came to my conclusion a different way, I ran different models locally and measured the amout of resources required for basic things. From that I extrapolated some napkin unit economics, and I couldn't find any way to build a profitable business from it.
I don't assume I'm the smartest guy in the room though, so for all of our sake, I hope you're right.
