Blogger claims METR is on Anthropic's payroll via $7.7B stock pile — "AI doom is a business model"

Blogger Ayush posted an unverified accusation that AI safety evaluator METR isn't a true third party but is funded through Anthropic via a $7.7B stock pile, claiming the same money funds the evaluators, "doom media," and regulation pushes — "selling the fear, then selling the fix." He added that Anthropic has 80% margins. These are the blogger's own claims and inferences without solid evidence presented, so treat with caution.
