Boom, crash or takeover: Anthropic's IPO and the future of the AI economy (ft. Noah Smith)

34 min•5 november 2026

Om avsnittet

Anthropic's S-1 looks healthy: distributed customers, improving efficiency and no sign of an imminent crash. So I went live with Noah Smith, to discuss what happens next. His worry isn't that Anthropic blows up; it's that it succeeds too well. We weighed Google's push for recursive self-improvement, cheaper Chinese models and the chance that one lab takes a share of every market, gaining power no company has had before. And if AI-driven super-science finds patterns no human can explain, what is left for us to understand? We discussed:

00:00 Is the AI boom about to crash?
03:31 Chinese AI is Android, Claude is the iPhone
05:46 How Anthropic could out-compete its customers
08:33 Could Claude outgrow the government?
10:31 Google, OpenAI and the self-improvement race
14:45 The best model takes it all
17:07 Google is disrupting itself
20:16 "One company could rule them all"
22:47 Lessons from the Reformation
26:58 Super-science: beyond human understanding
30:31 "We summon a djinn"
33:17 Claude's project
