Anthropic candidates face blunt money question

I hate these types of questions because they're not just selecting for people dedicated to the mission, they're also selecting for people who are convincing liars

> 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

The candidates should read up on effective altruism before applying to this company. If you don’t know what that is, then you won’t understand why Anthropic are asking those sort of questions.

"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

Why not ask the same question your wife asked Epstien? Oh they do?
