Kevin Roose posted that Anthropic's associated trust structure could amount to the largest commitment of philanthropic capital ever — roughly $200 billion if Anthropic goes public at a $1 trillion valuation, which he calls "probably conservative."
Quote-poster shakoistsLog notes the first reply asked whether Anthropic would spend it on "gay race communism."
