Nauti's Take
The Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs will create real capital in San Francisco for founders, early employees and local service businesses, a genuine opportunity for the region. The problem sits on the other side of that ledger: a growing pool of laid off tech workers with no clear path back, because reskilling lags the pace of change.
People building AI adjacent skills gain fast; those betting on classic roles should watch the market closely.
