[Anthropic 'AI Doomsday Theory' Conspiracy Exposed by Investigative Blogger: Potential Interest Loops, Calls for Congressional Investigation]
Odaily Planet Daily News – Renowned U.S. investigative blogger Kevin Bass posted on the X platform, exposing a conspiracy behind Anthropic's 'AI Doomsday Theory.' After examining Anthropic's financial relationships, he discovered that the company may have formed a 'regulatory capture machine' driven by financial ties and called on the U.S. Congress to launch an investigation.
Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz's shares in Anthropic were funneled into the Good Ventures Foundation, which is a major funder of AI safety organizations like METR and a key backer of organizations promoting the 'AI Doomsday Theory.' Notably, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei previously proposed having third-party organizations assess AI model risks, naming METR as one such organization.
Based on this, Kevin Bass questioned whether these third-party organizations could truly conduct independent evaluations of Anthropic and AI risks. He suggested that the greater the influence of the 'AI Doomsday Theory,' the more the public and regulators would demand independent third-party evaluation organizations to assess Anthropic. These evaluation organizations would receive more funding but might never conclude that the latest Claude models pose fatal risks. This could create a potential interest loop between Anthropic's valuation growth, the AI risk narrative, regulatory demands, and the funding of evaluation organizations.
