According to an early investor, Anthropic is facing a severe internal crisis with morale among employees and investors hitting an all-time low. The investor expressed frustration over the increasingly isolated and dogmatic leadership, describing the core culture as cult-like.
As the company grew and hired outside of this core belief system, employees reportedly built hidden communication channels to vent their anger. The investor is actively seeking advice on how the company can survive independently.
