Anthropic is running out of money and playing hardball. --- Anthropic's technology is based on civilizational theft and its success depends on continued intellectual theft.

Anthropic has countered by proposing to allocate 5% (maybe 20%) of its shares to their LLC, which will finance activities Anthropic defines as the "public good." This is not going to cut it. Anthropic is built on perpetual civilizational theft. Here are some historical precedents:

No one is impressed by this. Anthropic is the result perpetual civilizational theft. You have forecasted mass-unemployment and existential threat. Allocating 5% (maybe 20%) of Anthropic shares to an Anthropic LLC, which will finance activities it defines as the "public good," just does not cut it. + In April, OpenAI proposed contributing 5% of its equity to a U.S. public wealth fund. + Bernie Sanders proposed a one-time 50% equity tax, giving the American public actual ownership and voting rights.
