Hesamation maps Anthropic's dense ties to Open Philanthropy, the largest funder of 'catastrophic-risk' work: Karnofsky (married to Anthropic president Daniela Amodei) now works at Anthropic on safety strategy; Moskowitz was an early Anthropic investor; Dario was an Open Phil scientific advisor for years; Open Phil-funded MATS produced alignment lead Evan Hubinger, who backed Coxon's scholarship; Ethan Perez was an Open Phil fellow. Stewart Alsop quotes this and asks why 2010s Silicon Valley money breeds doomerism unseen before that decade.
