He expects massive philanthropy or an exposed hiring culture.

After the Anthropic IPO we will either see one of the widest spread sprees of philanthropy giving in American history, or we will find out the culture interview was mostly for show.

@code_star Actually irrelevant

Most of the gains are in a few hands Those people didn’t have to pass a culture interview

@ayedtay still hundreds or thousands of people north of $10M in equity getting access to liquidity.

@code_star Yes but as crazy as this sounds those won’t really move the needle when total equity is worth 2T

@ayedtay What do you mean? What relevance does that have to my statement at all?

@code_star I think what I’m saying is fairly simple

The bulk of the giving or the non giving will be controlled by a handful of people

@ayedtay You are confusing the total amount of the money, with the amount of givers. And what percentage of people are giving.

@code_star the culture interview was damage control, everyone knew it was just bait for trust

@code_star Yea I guess my underlying assumption is that we will mostly observe aggregate dollar amounts
