Anthropic is planning what could be the largest initial public offering in history. But if AI continues on its current trajectory, humans may not be around much longer to enjoy it.To pull off a successful offering that values it at $2 trillion, Anthropic, whose name means “human-centered,” will need plenty of mortal investors to help build a world where mankind will soon take a back seat to far more capable artificial intelligence systems. Anthropic says AI poses great threats that only AI can confront. The company contends AI could transform the economy – and also end humanity. It is offering part of the company to the public while arguing for more concentrated ownership and oversight of the same company. To make AI safer, it needs more power. And it asks everyone to trust Anthropic leadership, while still warning of disaster from the products it created. What is your take on investing in AI IPOs?
