David Sacks says Anthropic has "corporate schizophrenia" and is hypocritical at every turn
“I think we know from our friends that the investors in Anthropic are pulling out their hair right now.”
“You have current leadership in the company saying that there's a greater than 10% chance of causing human extinction, and their own product is unsolved in this area. How do you IPO with your own management saying that?"
“Then you've got, I don't know what to call it except corporate schizophrenia. You've got Dario putting out this essay saying, we need to pace the frontier, days before they launch Claude 5.5 and set a new frontier."
"At a minimum, it's hypocritical, but maybe it's even worse than that."
"Then you have them publishing an essay about the bio risk associated with AI and how that needs to be stopped. Meanwhile, they announced a new bio lab in San Francisco.
Jason: "They started a lab after telling us that there's a 10% chance of us all dying. Is this a dereliction of duty as the chief executive officer of Anthropic to sabotage your own IPO?"
"If the four of us were on the board of Anthropic, we would replace the CEO, we would put the CEO in the lab, and we'd find a CEO who knows how to run the company and not sabotage it. He's literally sabotaging his own company."
