I downloaded the Anthropic IPO Prospectus PDF. They forced me to register for their newsletter to do it… blech. If you would like to see the prospectus without handing over (more) information to them here is a link to download it directly from my blog. Be gentle please lol (https://chrisalemany.ca/docs/Prospectus.pdf)
It’s 421 pages. I searched for the word “humanity”.
It appears 23 times.
I’ve listed the different phrasings below, all are in a positive context/narrative except for one “risks to humanity” which is mentioned on Page 83 as a potential investment risk due to “Unfavourable media coverage”.
10 “Benefit(s) (of/to) humanity”
2 “Bring humanity safely”
2 “Solving humanity’s”
1 “Plagued humanity”
1 “Risks to humanity” (positive)
1 “Risks to humanity” (negative)
2 “Work for humanity”
1 “Outcomes for humanity”
1 “Serve all of humanity”
1 “Impact on humanity”
1 “problems facing humanity”
The full sentence on the negative risk to their investors from “media coverage”:
"This coverage and commentary have included, and we expect will continue to include, recurring narratives concerning the potential adverse societal impacts of AI, including that AI may displace or eliminate jobs, may be misused or otherwise cause harm, and may pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity. "
I would say “imagine writing that!” but of course… we all know a human did not write this document.
@chris ah, so the plague is cited at least once! 😅
