It’s the big number that counts
.@AnthropicAI just filed to go public. Its S-1 is over 400 pages long. I used Opus 5.5 to generate a short explanatory video with all the highlights. Here is everything you need to know in under 5 minutes:
- Revenue: $41M in 2023, $16.3B in H1 2026
- $80.7B H1 net loss, mostly non-cash
- Founders control 50.1% of votes; a trust picks 4 of 7 directors
- Risks: compute commitments, safety, a Department of War fight

before you write your dangers of tech / benefits of tech article, it would be great if you could furnish proof that you can:
a) open a pdf
b) enter a simple excel formula
c) take a screenshot
d) navigate a file tree with a simple UI
not even the hard stuff, just that.

over at @unherd, I wrote about how nobody can resist that prediction market money, not even middle-America chroniclers Danny McBride and Shane Gillis. The ad is amusing, but the cost of their grabbing that bag falls on the rest of us unherd.com/newsroom/shane-gi…

Celebrity endorsements have helped make sports betting part of everyday American life.
Now the industry wants to make betting on almost anything just as normal, writes @moustacheclubus 👇

Once upon a time, comedians worried about selling out.
Now Shane Gillis and Danny McBride are selling prediction markets to the masses, writes @moustacheclubus 👇

David Shrigley: Reading books, occasionally smoking weed, walking my dog.

Trump is learning about male beauty
Trump on Jon Husted: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

It already gives incredible discounts, limited only by the enthusiasm of the otherwise-apathetic staff and your willingness to fumble around up there like prime-period Jerry Lewis, failing to scan the items that don’t have the sensor tags
if he were out there praising women's bodies (yuck!), i'd say it was so over, but it seems like he's so back youtube.com/watch?v=hgoIajEL…
