    Anthropic founders are former OpenAI employees who left specifically because they disagreed with OpenAI’s stance on this kind of stuff and they wanted nothing to do with it. If this is just a PR stunt then I don’t see why they would’ve left OpenAI in the first place.

      There have been some pretty high-profile departures from Anthropic over the past few months, so… I dunno, seems like there are plenty of insiders who are unhappy with the company’s current trajectory.

      Every Anthropic PR release has been followed up by a huge infusion of cash from companies like Google and Amazon.

      On January 21, 2025, Amodei said that he was “more confident than ever” that we’re “very close” to “powerful capabilities,” defined as “systems that are better than almost all humans at almost all terms,” citing his long, boring essay. A day later, Anthropic would raise another $1 billion from Google.
