David Sacks questioned Anthropic's arrangement of putting 20% of its equity into an LLC: "Whether it serves the public good remains to be seen."
Gary Marcus reposted and agreed, arguing Anthropic is playing games — currying public favor while holding control and resisting disclosure, which he says "reeks of desperation." The exchange reflects the ongoing debate over Anthropic's governance structure and its public-benefit claims.
