Claude Crashes Day After Anthropic's IPO Filing

Anthropic filed confidentially for an IPO with the SEC on Monday, announcing its intention to go public. The very next day, its AI chatbot Claude suffered a major outage, drawing widespread mockery online. Reactions on social media were gleefully unsympathetic, with users joking about middle managers in crisis, ghosted boyfriends, and the general uselessness of AI tools. Many took the timing as cosmic comeuppance for a company riding the controversial AI wave.
