Coefficient Giving pours hundreds of millions into AI safety orgs, fueling 'regulatory capture' debate

Quoting @ZackKorman: the push for a "FINRA for AI" self-regulatory model may amount to "buying the regulator."
The evidence is funding structure: Coefficient Giving — co-founded by Daniela Amodei's husband (since departed) and backed by Moskovitz, who also invested in Anthropic — is spending hundreds of millions on AI safety orgs like Redwood Research, raising questions about conflicts between the safety funding ecosystem and regulatory design.
