Anthropic has raised $64B in total since they were founded.
Even if you say we are going to measure profit in the very special hacker news way of looking at money taken in from customer revenue against money invested and we say they can't do things like counting building data centers or buying GPUs as capital expenses and instead have to count them against profit then in 2 years time they will have made more money than they have taken in investment.
That is extraordinary.
The numbers are indeed extraordinary. But I still don't agree with this statement.

In two years' time they will have generated more revenue, that is not the same as "making money."
