# Will the real Anthropic please stand up

**[MIT Technology Review](https://daily.dev/sources/technologyreview)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Anthropic has filed its IPO prospectus, a 335-page document with 100 pages or so focused on risks. The piece argues Anthropic has long mastered narrative capture, citing cofounder Jack Clark telling IMF officials in Bangkok that the singularity has already begun, and cofounder Chris Olah telling the Vatican that Anthropic's researchers find evidence of introspection and internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief and unease. It also references a leaked draft bill Anthropic secretly circulated to US lawmakers, which sparked an exchange on X between Encode AI's Nathan Calvin and CEO Dario Amodei over whether the company can be trusted. Amodei defends Anthropic's 'race to the top' strategy and admits he has made mistakes; the author says the company's stories reveal a multiheaded hydra.
