CoreWeave Crash, AI Trade Cracks, Anthropic IPO Red Flags, Bill Gates Doomer

Video summary

Ben Horowitz and the All-In hosts debate CoreWeave’s debt risks, Anthropic’s $2 trillion IPO, AI software deflation, and Bill Gates’ doomer warnings.

Ben Horowitz joined the All-In hosts as they examined a selloff in AI infrastructure stocks after CoreWeave debt yields surged. Chamath cited a 953-basis-point credit-default-swap spread, roughly 55% implied five-year default risk, and the need for another $35 billion in financing; the hosts weighed those risks against scarce compute, long-lived GPUs, and short payback periods. They argued that AI is making software cheaper but expanding demand for bespoke tools, while power and data-center capacity may become the key bottlenecks. Anthropic’s investor day drew mixed reactions: reported Q3 revenue was $16.8 billion, but ARR estimates ranged from $70 billion to over $100 billion. Chamath argued the company should raise $200–250 billion to secure compute before an IPO. The discussion then challenged Anthropic’s warnings about self-replicating AI on IoT devices, citing slow test results and existing malware, before turning to Bill Gates’ AI-doomer rhetoric and the hosts’ view that such warnings can amplify fear and centralize influence.
