What happens then?
Not a trick question, legitimately do not understand how this can end well.
Can you reasonably discount Anthropic’s valuation based on apocalypse risk? If Anthropic reaches superintelligence, the upside is uncapped, and in the downside case, you don’t care about your lost invested capital because we’d all be dead
