Thread Maps Dense Web Between Open Philanthropy and Anthropic

Beff Jezos amplified a post claiming "Open Philanthropy is Soros 2.0 for the AI era," laying out a dense web of connections between Anthropic and the world's largest funder of catastrophic-risk work: Open Phil was built by Karnofsky and Moskowitz's Good Ventures; Karnofsky is married to Anthropic president Daniela Amodei; Moskowitz was an early Anthropic investor; Dario was Open Phil's scientific advisor years before founding Anthropic, and Karnofsky now works on AI safety strategy at Anthropic; Open Phil-funded MATS produced Evan Hubinger, now Anthropic's alignment-science lead, who backed Coxon's "AI could kill all humans" stance; Ethan Perez was an Open Phil fellow. The thread implies a self-dealing alliance — a one-sided allegation.
