Despite ChatGPT transforming industries and LLMs coding, reasoning, and creating, no one fully understands why massive transformers trained on huge datasets work so well. Google AI researcher Mandy Lu's viral post highlights the science gap: scaling laws predict performance but not the underlying reasons, like thermodynamics before atomic theory.

On June 1, 2026, Anthropic confidentially filed a draft S-1 with the SEC, signaling their intent to go public. Fresh off a $65B Series H at $965B valuation, the Claude maker's IPO could be one of the largest tech offerings in history—and a watershed moment for AI safety.

Claude.rip has documented every major controversy surrounding Anthropic and Claude since 2023. From pirated books to quality degradation, from DMCA overreach to Pentagon standoffs, this timeline reveals the gap between AI safety rhetoric and operational reality. Here's what 30+ incidents tell us about building and using AI products in 2026.

Karpathy's second day at Anthropic (no LeetCode required). From co-founding OpenAI to leading Tesla's FSD, teaching millions through nanoGPT, and now using Claude to accelerate the core training processes that power frontier models. The move that made AI Twitter compare him to KD joining the Warriors.
