More legal fees for the companies that can't and will never IPO. It's just about over for the both of them with Anthropic missing the deadline to IPO, with lawsuits just being more money to hemmorage.

It echoes the set of lawsuits filed by bipartisan attorneys general in eight states last week alleging OpenAI violated their respective state laws.
