Reuters should know better. While $30T is probably absurd, Anthropic is claiming that's the total addressable market for AI services, not that they will capture 100% of that market
I figured that’s what it was, TAM numbers in S-1 filings are always hyperbolic. AirBNB’s claimed TAM in their S-1 was over $3T.
AirBNB TTM revenue (7/25-6/26) is $13.5B, which is 0.45% of $3T.
“Imagine if we capture even just 0.5% of the market!”
That feels very 2010s Silicon Valley. Simpler times.
I also already told my potential investors that I see $30T in potential revenue. Talk is cheap.
I canceled today, so they should reduce that by $100.
At this point why not just say they expect a bajillion dollars in revenue? Would be just as factual of a statement.
"Sees" doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence.
Just a casual quarter of global GDP, sounds legit.
Why even stop at 30T at this point? Why not just say a bajillion, it's all made up numbers anyways
$30T seems like a lot, but Anthropic and OpenAI will need to be making ten times that to match investor expectations.
In what world is 10x US GDP, 3-4x US Marketcap, or 60x the US annual tax collection the requirement for investor expectations?
A world where investors have grown accustomed to absurd levels of growth.
Thirty trillion isn’t cool you know what’s cool belligerently lying
