I expect them to be long bankrupt by then.

From a recent FT article "Investors are questioning whether Anthropic can sustain its extraordinary growth as [...] the potential for AI to destroy humanity cloud[s] its blockbuster IPO." What a time to be alive.

Ok, I am having troubles imagining that a one trick pony company like OpenAI will generate 350B of revenue. It's in the same ballpark as today's Google that has Search, YouTube, GCP, Android, Chrome, Maps, Gemini and probably more stuff I forget.
