Ex-executive warns of risks in Anthropic IPO amid fears of repeating Facebook mistakes
A former Facebook executive who experienced the company\'s IPO warned that Anthropic could repeat Facebook\'s post-listing shift toward revenue and share price at the expense of user safety. Brian Boland cited how stock performance became a core metric and how revenue targets changed priorities. He said Anthropic\'s S-1 discusses product risks but safety teams could be deprioritised as growth accelerates. He urged stronger safety systems and clearer financial disclosures before listing.
