Dario worried people were joining Anthropic for the money, not the mission (twitter.com)

The only thing that matters is a) family, b) community, c) country. Your job is very low on the list, but the money it provides makes the 3 above better.

Is this accusation a confession?

99.99999999999999% of all people take a job for the money. Sure, they may choose job A over job B because of some mission or overall objective, but if job B proposed a 50% higher salary, most people would take it.

Sorry not sorry. I work for money.

If during the interview they said that their biggest weakness was that "they are a perfectionist" they are doing it for the money.

Worried? What the heck else people are working for if not money? Is he really that clueless?

Worse. People join AI companies for quick money.

Anyone who joins Anthropic at the 800 valuation is probably less about money.

If it is about money, they would try to buy low, not buy high like this.

That's what happens when you inject a lot of money into a sector/company, it attracts people who only want to maximize money. This is honestly what has ruined the tech sector over the past 30 years.

Did he not notice that every CV listed the previous "mission" as reimagining money with shitcoins and NFTs?
