at $6000 a course, which is somewhere in the middle of typical university adjunct rates, Anthropic's 1.5 trillion dollar IPO value would cover 4 courses a year from roughly the year the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs to the present

they make a good product! but perhaps a system that allows for this level of wealth concentration has some issues. perhaps a world where we can invest in enterprise software but not education has problems

I mean yes, but the word “we” is worth digging into here. I don’t want universities to make IPOs and be subject to hostile buyouts, I do want governments to finance education at all levels more. What do we leave to the whims of market participants, what do we prescribe through public processes
