Anthropic Public Benefit Fund and Effective Altruism
AI startup Anthropic announced a plan to commit 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund to address job displacement caused by artificial intelligence. Adam Curry compares this to the "Effective Altruism" movement associated with Sam Bankman-Fried, arguing that such funds are often used for political lobbying. Elon Musk responded by suggesting shares should be given directly to the public rather than managed by a board.
