What was said
"The day that OpenAI came out, which was on my dad's birthday, ChatGPT, it was life-changing. And I remember when I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, I pulled over the car, And I went, what is this? And when ChatGPT came out, that was a what is this moment for me."
Music mogul and tech investor Guy Oseary revealed he invested $35 million in Anthropic at a $5 billion valuation after recognizing ChatGPT as a transformational moment comparable to hearing Nirvana for the first time. He and partner Ashton Kutcher raised a specialized foundational AI fund in a three-month window following ChatGPT's November 2022 launch, deploying 80% of capital immediately. The bet has paid off dramatically, with Anthropic's most recent valuation reaching $60 billion.
