Anthropic’s S-1, Meta’s $90B, And Elon’s Warning Call | The Brainstorm 155

In this episode of The Brainstorm, Sam, Nick, and Brett open the Anthropic S-1, maybe the most impressive twelve months of revenue growth in corporate history, and debate whether a major AI-enabled cyberattack would be good or bad for the frontier labs. Then Nick breaks down Meta’s $90 billion raise, the filing suggesting Zuckerberg could raise $700 billion before losing voting control, and why the math on monetizing Muse may require Meta to build a bank. Finally, Elon Musk is publicly warning of an extinction event for neoclouds with chips they cannot plug in, and the team asks who that warning is really for.

Key Points From This Episode:

• What the Anthropic S-1 reveals about gross margins, research and development (R&D) efficiency, and the risk factors everyone is quoting
• Why Meta’s consumer agent math may not reach Instagram-level Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) without owning payments
• Why compute now rents above $50B per gigawatt, and what that squeeze likely does to the neoclouds
