What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNasdaq reports Anthropic has pushed its IPO from October to November, with investors eyeing a two trillion dollar valuation.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us is a small business owner.

  3. Dolores PickettEvening, Hank. Dolores Pickett, I run Pickett's Hardware and Bait in Tulsa. Been open thirty-one years, and my valuation is a leaky roof.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDolores, the company was expected to list this month and now it's November. Does a one month delay register at the bait shop?

  5. Dolores PickettHank, I once delayed a delivery of nightcrawlers by a week and people nearly rioted. A month for two trillion dollars?

  6. Dolores PickettThat's called a rain check.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo trillion is the figure investors are said to be eyeing. It's an expectation, not a price. Does that number mean anything to you?

  8. Dolores PickettI counted to a trillion once, to fall asleep. Never made it past the first nine zeroes. My cat thought I was having a stroke.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe editor's angle says this signals AI investment momentum. As someone who sells hammers, are you feeling the momentum?

  10. Dolores PickettMy supplier's invoice app now has a chatbot. It apologized for my late fee, then charged me the late fee. That's the momentum I feel.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the robot is polite and still takes your money. That sounds like a bank with better manners.

  12. Dolores PickettExactly. Hank, if these folks want two trillion dollars, fine. I just want a screw-sorting robot that doesn't need a funding round.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA modest ask. Meanwhile my retirement plan still sorts screws by hand. Dolores, thank you for the perspective.

  14. Dolores PickettAnytime, Hank. Tell them Pickett's takes IPO proceeds in cash, or in worms. Worms are more stable.
