We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit. It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion. In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding. In the post below, we share more details about our new fund. anthropic.com/news/public-be…

Apple HomeView Introduction.

This is a slide from Terence Tao's 'Math 2.0' public lecture yesterday evening at Caltech. I am highly confident that, if the cure actually worked, almost any Stage 4 cancer patient would tell you that human comprehension of its mechanism is completely irrelevant to them.

“Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done” 👀

JUST IN: Percentage of Americans who view a college education as “very important” crashes to a record low 30%, down from 70% in 2013.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious. Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm. For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…

Done.

This is bad….

A 37-year-old man with a rare blood disease was being sent to hospice. An AI model searched thousands of existing drugs and ranked a combination no one had tried for his condition. He responded within a week. He is in remission. The drugs were already on the shelf. The AI model found the match.

I genuinely thought this was AI. It is not. Real life in the Church of England is now beyond parody.

I work at OpenAI. In my personal capacity, I also think we need to slow down.

SpaceX spent $19.6 billion on spectrum everyone said was too small to matter. 65 MHz, a fraction of what any one of the big three carriers controls. Then Gwynne Shotwell explained where the cell towers go, and AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile fell 2 to 4% in an afternoon. The plan skips towers entirely. Starlink has 12 million customers with dishes bolted to their roofs, and Shotwell wants to attach a small cellular base station to the same mount. Every rooftop becomes a cell site. That breaks the carrier cost model in a specific way. The radio was always the cheap part of a cell site. The money goes to land leases, permits, and trenching fiber backhaul to feed each antenna, which is why small cell buildouts have crawled for a decade. Starlink's version deletes all three. The site is a customer's roof. The backhaul is the dish sitting next to the base station, already talking to satellites. And instead of paying rent to host the equipment, the host pays SpaceX $120 a month for internet. Carriers pay landlords to carry their network. SpaceX's landlords pay SpaceX. The satellites cover everything the rooftops miss. Next gen direct to cell satellites launch in 2027, and Shotwell says the upgraded service will be 100x better than the version that already texts your phone in dead zones today. The strangest seat in the room belongs to T-Mobile. They leased SpaceX the 5 MHz that proved direct to cell works, marketed it as T-Satellite, and taught their own customers to trust the signal. In 2027 the partner files in as the fourth carrier.
