As Anthropic files for what may become the largest IPO in history, Jon is joined by Ed Zitron of EZ Primary Research, the “Where’s Your Ed At” newsletter, and the “Better Offline” podcast. Together, they break down the precarious financing structures, circular deals, and mounting debts propping up the AI boom—and whether the technology is actually delivering results that justify such historic levels of investment. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about Jan 6-ing the midterms, Sexiest Man Alive and Halloween tricks or treats!
