Anthropic’s ties to EA circles resurface in a sharp internal-origin critique

A quote-tweet calls Anthropic an EA-aligned company, citing the personal and financial ties between its founders and effective altruism circles: the Amodeis’ rationalist house connections, Daniela Amodei’s marriage to Holden Karnofsky, and Anthropic’s early funding origins. The post frames these links as evidence that Anthropic was never a “normal” company, but an EA-adjacent project shaped by those networks.
