🤖 Anthropic’s Funding Links Surface

Independent researcher Kevin Bass traced the funding behind content about AI dangers. Frequent clients Center for AI Safety and Future of Life Institute received major donor support from Open Philanthropy, now Coefficient Giving. It is owned by Dustin Moskovitz, an early major Anthropic shareholder.

Open Philanthropy’s grants come from Good Ventures, funded mainly by Moskovitz’s wealth. Bass says a significant share of its assets is Anthropic stock. It also funds Tarbell Center for AI Journalism, which trains AI journalists.

Through other foundations, it funds METR, called by Dario Amodei an independent third-party model safety evaluator. METR is now financially interested in Anthropic’s success.
