Commenter flags overcount/undercount flaws in METR-Anthropic stockholder overlap estimate
CFGeek · x · 2026-09-20
Responding to an estimate cited by Gary Marcus about stockholder overlap between METR and Anthropic, CFGeek points out methodological flaws: former Anthropic employees who gave up or sold stock would inflate the count, while METR staff holding Anthropic shares via secondaries or family ties would be missed. CFGeek notes the original count was meant to cover current and incoming personnel.
