Expected IPOs for Anthropic and OpenAI are set to mint a new generation of philanthropists wedded to ‘effective giving’

Effective Altruism is drawing record funding as IPOs for Anthropic and OpenAI are set to mint new millionaires committed to "effective giving". The turmoil caused by SBF has impacted Effective Altruism, but it is now receiving more funding.

According to some investors, Anthropic's expected IPO may value the company at $2 trillion to $3 trillion, surpassing SpaceX's $1.7 trillion valuation.

OpenAI is planning a data center project in Ohio, with Nvidia initially guaranteeing less than $120 billion, down from the previously discussed $250 billion. The project, being developed by SB Energy, a subsidiary of SoftBank, would be the largest data center project announced to date if completed.
