Investigator Exposes Anthropic Funding Network, Questioning AI Safety Narrative

Investigator Kevin Bass published a long post auditing Anthropic's financial network, revealing that early investor Dustin Moskovitz also funds AI safety research organizations METR and Redwood Research, raising questions about the independence of Anthropic-recommended third-party evaluators. Earlier, investor Michael Burry criticized Anthropic and OpenAI for calling for AI slowdown, calling it self-serving hype for IPO packaging. The event sparked widespread discussion about the intersection of AI safety narratives and capital interests.
