> Good Ventures is a funding partner of Open Philanthropy, who funded Jacob Coxon (the first of the Anthropic employees going viral in the media) via a scholarship.

This conspiracy theory is truly crazy. A $20K scholarship in 2022 is supposed to explain Coxon walking away from unvested equity for a company worth over $950 billion dollars?

Obviously not, and that's not what it demonstrates. It demonstrates relationships, collusion and favoritism.

I don't think Coxon was ever planning on or entitled to taking equity, I think this was the plan from the beginning and why he was hired for 6 weeks to begin with.

The company is valued over $950B. It remains to be seen how much it’s worth.
