The past month has seen some signs in the financial markets that the AI bubble is beginning to deflate. First it was the neoclouds, which are off-balance sheet entities for large tech and chip companies, getting crushed. Then on Monday, AI giant Anthropic made public its initial draft S-1 filing, the form it has to submit before it sells shares on the stock market. Then, a few days later, Google and Amazon released their earnings, disappointing investors with misses in revenue targets and higher than expected negative free cash flow. Google stock alone fell by 12% on Thursday, a half a trillion dollar collapse. The next day, the whole tech sector got crushed, and it now down 10% from its high.
Why Anthropic's Filing Crushed Tech Stocks
The trillion dollar Anthropic IPO will enrich Google and Amazon, who are ostensibly competitors. How does that make sense? It doesn’t, unless Anthropic is four flailing monopolies in a trench coat.
