Comment on Anthropic invests $50B in US AI infrastructure

Comments

Today, we are announcing a $50 billion investment in American computing infrastructure
The project will create approximately 800 permanent jobs

Approximately $62.5 million per permanent job created!

but it’s private money? who gives a fuck about the $/job created? if anything, it’s a good thing that Anthropic can afford to do it because they can so efficiently use capital. at least, so far…

I think GP is criticising how ‘wasteful’ that is compared to better uses of the money in $/employee. It's really not creating that many jobs for the amount of cash we're talking about.

An interesting thought is how much of this money ultimately lands in Taiwan and China
