  • Hacker News
  • "Damn kids today, working for their money, not mine!" Since Dario believes in the mission, he should give away all his stock and work for a regular employee salary
  • "Will you lie to get this job?"

    Sounds like theyre actively hiring people to train the worst kind of AI

  • Based on Opus 5, I can only conclude they've activated their plan to drive the stock price to 0
  • I don't understand the problem with this question. I could barely discern the question in the article.
  • TBH I find it very out of touch to ask that kind of a question. Among regular people, everyone works for money. I consider myself a "mission" driven person but that "mission" is 4th of 5th on the list of reasons to join a company. Reason number 1 has always and will always be getting money in the door to support my family.
  • Or it could be posturing. Or it could be compensation negotiation.

    How does the actual Anthropic internal culture compare to that of OpenAI?

  • The worst is that I don't believe a single second that Amodei and his crew are not greed motivated in the end. Otherwise his company would be a lot different, more open, more open source, more available to help good cause without benefit.

    What I see is more the god syndrome of persons that have are in power and have an edge. He can make the conditions so it is important for him to appear as a "divine leader", that is capable to "inspire others" with whatever is the right thing that it decides. I'm quite sure that he will not tolerate debate still.

    But obviously he will not see himself like that, but will be persuaded that he is a world changer and saving the world.

  • > One applicant — who spoke to Axios on the condition of anonymity for fear of hurting future job opportunities — recalled being asked how they would feel if the company someday abandoned its AI ambitions for safety reasons, and that decision sent the stock to zero.

    Is that a scoop? I thought that was a well known thing with Anthropic interview process. They were very transparent about it beforehand from what I remember.

    On HN I’ve said things very critical of the company but that’s really not one of them, overall they had a pretty good (but intense and time consuming) interview process. I don’t understand the value of that article
