An Anthropic MTS wrote about the company's culture, including this anecdote: after a surprise evening with an in-office sushi chef serving all-you-can-eat sushi, a co-founder posted on Slack that it felt uncomfortable — "It sets the wrong tone. We're not here to get rich and eat caviar. tbh I'd like it better if we just served rice and beans."
