- Quoting kevinnbass, this thread claims Open Philanthropy (founded by Moskowitz and Karnofsky) is the largest funder of "AI doom" and also invests in Anthropic.
- Allegedly OP gave $312M in grants behind 476 publications influencing Congressional reports, over $1B total — an order of magnitude more than the second-largest funder — and funded Jacob Coxon's doom media blitz.
- The authors frame this as a regulatory-capture agenda favoring Anthropic and other giants; beffjezos calls it "fact, not conspiracy." These are one-sided claims, not independently verified.
