They could literally give him 100k, 1mil or even 10mil which would still be a rounding error in their books.


Don't know. A company can have a huge valuation on the stock market but that does not necessarily mean that they have cash to pay wages or can afford to pay a large team. If all they have are stocks they have to find somebody that buys those stocks with cash, then find a way not to run out of those money before selling more stocks. Eventually do an exit and stop worrying or become profitable.


they are raising another billion dollar round


Are they even profitable?


Profitable schmofitable! But seriously, that is orthogonal to whether those figures are rounding errors at anthropic's financial level.
