Anthropic posted, then swiftly deleted, a $450,000 sales job aimed at its 'mega' customer Meta
When a frontier lab floats a $450,000 role dedicated to a single rival–customer like Meta, it underlines how concentrated AI revenue is in a handful of hyperscale buyers. If you sell into this layer, expect more bespoke, named-account roles and tighter NDAs around who your true ‘mega’ customers are.
Applied AIAI data centers have a hidden cost few highlighted: A $200 billion insurance price tag that consumers will end up paying

Boards using AI only as an efficiency story are underweighting governance and scenario planning.
