- TheZhi responds to Kimmonismus's question about "what did they see internally at Anthropic?"
- His point: when someone says "I would burn my equity to reduce the risk of all of us dying by 1%", people often read it as "oh you must know something."
- He argues the opposite: declining that trade would make you "some kind of monster" — the willingness to sacrifice everything for a 1% risk reduction is the obviously rational position, not evidence of secret insider knowledge.
