Clearly.
David SacksHOST
55:37
And let me, let me actually peel, peel the onion on this one more layer, which is you not only have employees of Anthropic possibly violating the quiet period by stepping out and co-signing this, you also have the fact that this whole resignation tweet storm was amplified by these groups who were funded by Jaan Tallinn and Dustin Moskovitz, who co-led the Series A of Anthropic along with Sam Bankman-Fried.
David SacksHOST
56:02
It was an EA-funded round, which is a really interesting detail in Anthropic's history, that Dario went to the EA mega-donors for funding at the very beginning, and that's part of why they have this culture.
David SacksHOST
56:14
But think about their financial interest.
Patrick Bet-DavidHOST
16:11
Elon responds to this.
Patrick Bet-DavidHOST
16:12
It says, "Jacob Coxon doesn't have much of a resume, but we know that in 2022 he got a $20,000 scholarship from Long-Term Future Scholarship Program from Good Venture, uh, Foundation, one of philanthropic, uh, vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of, uh, millions on policy advocacy to regulate it." And so as you, as you go through this, there's some ties to Sam Bankman-Fried.
Patrick Bet-DavidHOST
16:36
Elon responds back, and Elon says, "This is a bunch of BS." He, uh, uh, mocks the ex-Anthropic staffer who warned AI could kill all of us.
Patrick Bet-DavidHOST
16:44
In the tweet from Elon Musk within seconds, Jacob Coxon responds back, "It's as if Tom said he was ready for it." Brett Baird did a good job asking him a question yesterday.
Philip TeresiHOST
13:22
Skeptics believe that a broader network could be supporting him with a view to limiting the development of AI for the benefit of the giants who currently dominate the industry, not for the benefit of humanity.
Philip TeresiHOST
13:35
Peter Thayer with Capital Research said after Coxon's viral tweet was boosted by AI safety advocates that he had previously received scholarship funding from a philanthropic organization related to Dustin Moskovitz, an AI safety advocate and anthropic investor.
Philip TeresiHOST
13:56
Other critics saying the whole thing might have been concocted to push for AI safety regulation that could benefit anthropic.
Philip TeresiHOST
14:03
Coxon, of course, says this is nonsense.
Kyle BalmerHOST
10:47
They've come a long way.
Kyle BalmerHOST

Jan Tallinn was one of the initial investors as well as duskin moskovitz where series a was led by yan talin technology investor and co-founder of skype the round includes participation from james mcclave dustin moskovitz who is also named in this post and the center for emerging risk research eric schmidt and others yeah fair so we know this we know that anthropic actually was funded uh founded by these guys and people like yan talin and duskin moskovitz have gone ahead and um funded ai safety research we've known this for a while this is not a massive secret if you read a book like a supremacy for example that's very well covered in there so that's not really a conspiracy but the fact that the retweets happened from these particular accounts
Kyle BalmerHOST
11:35
Yeah, okay.
Kyle BalmerHOST
11:38
Jacob Coxon doesn't have much of a resume, but we know that in 2022, he got a 20 grand scholarship for long-term future scholarship program from the Good Venture Foundation, which is one of the philanthropic vehicles of Duskin Muscovitz.

One was Sam Bankman-Fried, who is now in jail for fraud.
Brian ChauGUEST
3:58
And then the second largest one was this guy, Dustin Moskovitz, who we're going to talk a lot about today, but is also a billionaire.
Brian ChauGUEST
4:05
and donates to a lot of these causes and thought like this was just totally unprepared.
Brian ChauGUEST
4:11
This is like going to be a massive wave of censorship like we've never seen before.

You'll see this very often.
Brian ChauGUEST
20:05
Almost all of them have rebranded in some way.
Brian ChauGUEST
20:08
Dustin Moskovitz, similarly, is like a Facebook billionaire.
Brian ChauGUEST
20:12
He was very early co-founder of Facebook.
Eric EricksonHOST
32:20
Encode AI says it's also funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, and wouldn't you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund also says it told Jan Tallin to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Network.
Eric EricksonHOST
32:31
What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of this guy's post were all from major AI restriction policy advocates funded generously by the exact same donor? Jacob Coxen doesn't even have much of a resume, but we know that in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the Long-Term Future Scholarship Program from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI doomer who's spent tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars on pu- policy advocacy to restrict AI while also being invested in Anthropic.
Eric EricksonHOST
33:09
And it appears Anthropic is using all of this to carve out a niche position for itself so David can't slay Goliath.
Eric EricksonHOST
33:16
Anthropic wants to be Goliath.
Eric NewcomerGUEST
36:29
You know, there's this woman, Amanda Askell, at Anthropic, who's charged with building, like, the personality of Claude.
Eric NewcomerGUEST
36:34
Obviously, there are only a few, you know, there are select jobs that are super powerful, but I think, you know, there are all these open philanthropy, uh, you know, D- Dustin Moskovitz organization, whatever it's called these days.
Eric NewcomerGUEST
36:44
But, you know, there, there's all these efforts to, to get philosophers to work thinking about how they can-
David RothkopfHOST
36:49
Yeah.

Anybody complaining about billionaires in politics? Bill Gates, $100 million he's donated to the Democrats, which is impressive that he has any money left over after all of those trips to Epstein Island his wife accused him of.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
5:07
I'm not saying he went, but are any of the Democrats complaining about the money? Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook exec, 100 million.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
5:16
George Soros, 100 million.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
5:18
Reid Hoffman, 60 million.

Then you've kinda got the doomer groups, and there's um, a writer named Nirat Waisblatt who writes a blog called AI Panic who a couple of years ago traced that there were hundreds of these astroturf doomer groups that were basically funded by three EA billionaires in Silicon Valley.
David SacksHOST
58:04
It was Dustin Moskovitz, Jan Tallon and Vitalik Buterin.
David SacksHOST
58:08
Remember Vitalik gave $600 million of, of dog coins to Future of Life Foundation, and then they've been spending hundreds of millions of dollars on these campaigns to make people be afraid of AI, and they see data centers as a good target.
David SacksHOST
58:21
So you really can't underestimate how much of difference, you know, a billion dollars of donations from these EA billionaires ha- how much damage that's done in terms of the public perception of AI.
