- The case for why 'load-bearing' AI companies should not be bailed out
Ed Zitron, CEO of EZPR, argues on The 8:30 that OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) and Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) are 'load-bearing' for Microsoft, Google, Amazon, CoreWeave and Nebius but should be allowed to fail rather than be rescued, and should not go public. He says record stock ownership among Americans makes a 'too big to fail' bailout possible, which he calls 'capitalist socialism'. He argues the market depends mainly on continued GPU spending by large tech firms, noting Nvidia is guiding to 670 billion for fiscal 2028, so the market could still fall even if the two AI companies survive. He describes OpenAI and Anthropic as now largely symbolic, with GPU sales as what keeps the market going.
- Eric Schmidt Rejects AI Bubble Fears, Says Anthropic Is Growing Twice as Fast as Google Did
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says artificial intelligence is “not a bubble.” He points to Anthropic's explosive revenue growth as evidence that customers are paying for technology they find useful, and draws a comparison with the revenue growth pace during his time as Google CEO.
- Anthropic Will Be The Last AI IPO Of 2026, As Industry Collapses
Business Insider founder Henry Blodget noted Anthropic’s month-over-month revenue growth flattened last month, while the article says AI funding is tightening: CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) is paying up to 13% on new debt, SoftBank has debt problems, and as many as 1,000 communities are trying to block AI data centers. Borrowing for data centers could reach $1 trillion a year through 2030, and shares in AI data center company Elice fell 33% on its IPO launch, the worst opening day for a sizable Korean IPO according to Bloomberg data. The article says Anthropic could be valued at around $2 trillion on IPO day, but under GAAP it is not profitable despite management’s claims, and a trust controlling the board has incomplete disclosures. It concludes Anthropic may list, possibly below $2 trillion, while no other AI firm is likely to IPO this year.
- Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt Reportedly Owns 1% Of Anthropic
According to Bloomberg, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt now holds roughly a 1% equity stake in AI startup Anthropic PBC. He invested tens of millions of dollars in Anthropic's 2021 Series A round, when PitchBook data valued the company at $461 million. Private market indicators point to a fair valuation of $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion ahead of the planned IPO, more than 4,300 times the Series A valuation at the upper end. At the more recent private valuation of $965 billion, Schmidt's $57.5 billion net worth could rise by nearly $10 billion, and Anthropic plans to begin IPO marketing as early as the week of November 9, with trading expected before Thanksgiving and no later than year-end.
- Shots Fired: Meta Is Developers on Outside AI Tools “in Half”. That’s a Big Problem for Anthropic
Meta has reportedly cut the number of staff using Anthropic's Claude Code from about 60,000 to 30,000 this year, moving engineers onto its own coding tools. Microsoft has reportedly cut its projected internal Claude spending by more than a third. Anthropic depends on a few large customers, and Kedrosky estimated Meta was roughly 10% of its 2025 revenue. Anthropic's reported $16.8 billion third quarter showed slowing growth, and Bloomberg Intelligence's Mandeep Singh named Meta's new frontier model as one possible reason. Meta's Claude Code spending of roughly $1.4 billion a year is small next to its $69.7 billion of capex in 2025, so Wednesday's capex guidance matters more.

- A $68 million bitcoin bet is targeting a post-midterm election breakout to $90,000
A single wallet bought 800 call contracts on bitcoin with a $90,000 strike expiring November 6 on the decentralized platform Derive, worth about $68 million in face value and the largest open bitcoin position on the exchange. The wallet financed the purchase by selling 400 calls at $100,000 expiring March 2027 and 400 calls at $90,000 expiring October 30, netting about $940,000. Derive's market-implied chance of bitcoin exceeding $100,000 by Christmas rose from 9.7% to 12%, while the implied chance of falling below $70,000 dropped from 15.6% to 11%. Bitcoin was trading near $80,000, roughly flat. Derive remains much smaller than the centralized Deribit, which handles several billions of dollars in volume and open interest every day.
- Chevron Eyes 150% EPS Jump on Oct. 30 — But Are the Risks Already Priced In?
Chevron (CVX) reports third-quarter results on October 30, with shares up 57.27% year to date and analysts forecasting a steep earnings rebound from a weak year-ago quarter. Last quarter, adjusted EPS of $6.06 marked its seventh straight consensus beat, revenue rose 51.4% to $67.20 billion as Brent averaged $104 a barrel, and free cash flow reached $18.10 billion. Downstream posted $4.87 billion versus $737 million a year earlier, and key items to watch include refining margins, Tengizchevroil output that depends on the CPC pipeline, and the 2.67-gigawatt power deal with Microsoft. Analysts' third-quarter EPS estimate rose from $4.0094 to $4.8878 over 90 days, and the stock trades at about 13x full-year consensus EPS. The article notes that after a 45.56% first-quarter beat, shares fell 4.73% within a week, suggesting that cash flow durability once oil prices cool may determine the stock's next move.
