Anthropic assigned highest junk credit rating in June

What commenters are saying

Commenters note that the junk rating is from Kroll, a small agency, not a major one, and that Anthropic likely shopped for the best rating. Some express concern that AI labs are lobbying for investment-grade ratings to sell bonds to pension funds, echoing pre-2008 credit rating agency manipulation. Others counter that the current junk rating accurately reflects risk, and that the real danger would be if ratings agencies bend under pressure.
