Local Man Convinced Anthropic IPO Will Finally Let Him Quit His Job, Plans To Buy 3 Energy Drinks Instead Of 2
AITA for thinking that the Anthropic IPO is just gonna be another pump-and-dump scheme for rich techbros, while we peasants are stuck refreshing our Robinhood accounts for hours only to get served a “system error” page? TL;DR: My coworker, Dave, a self-proclaimed “AI oracle,” is already planning to dump his entire life savings into Anthropic’s IPO next week, claiming it will “disrupt the narrative.” He’s already printed out a meme of a rocket ship and taped it to his monitor. Meanwhile, I’m just sitting here wondering if this is the moment the market finally finds its rock bottom, or if we’re all just chasing a bigger, less useful ChatGPT wrapper. Spoiler: The IPO will drop 30% in the first hour, Dave will become a crypto-bro, and I’ll be using my remaining cash to buy ramen. Like, cool, hope they use the IPO money to make sure their AI can finally tell me how to fold a fitted sheet without crashing. 🚀🚨
