This is: If FTX is liquidated, who ends up controlling Anthropic?, published by ofer on November 15, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum.[EDIT: The original title of this question was: "If FTX/Alameda currently control Anthropic, who will end up controlling it?". Based on the comments so far, it does not seem likely that FTX/Alameda currently control Anthropic.]If I understand correctly, FTX/Alameda have seemingly invested $500M in Anthropic, according to a Bloomberg article:FTX/Alameda were funneling customer money into effective altruism. Bankman-Fried seems to have generously funded a lot of effective altruism charities, artificial-intelligence and pandemic research, Democratic political candidates, etc. One $500 million entry on the desperation balance sheet is “Anthropic,” a venture investment in an AI safety company. [...]That seems consistent with the following excerpts from this page on Anthropic's website:Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, has raised $580 million in a Series B.The Series B follows the company raising $124 million in a Series A round in 2021. The Series B round was led by Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX. The round also included participation from Caroline Ellison, Jim McClave, Nishad Singh, Jaan Tallinn, and the Center for Emerging Risk Research (CERR).Is it likely that FTX/Alameda currently have >50% voting power over Anthropic? If they do, who will end up having control over Anthropic?Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.
