I do agree that Anthropic is the more safety-conscious actor and that (at first glance) it would make more sense to protest in front of the most reckless actors.

However, after thinking more carefully, here is why I think doing it in front of Anthropic might actually be good:
- OpenAI would have been more difficult: StopAI (that Guido is part of) have already tried things in front of OpenAI (like chaining themselves to OpenAI) that got them in some amount of trouble, and I imagine they would have gotten themselves kicked out earlier if they did that there.
- More employee pressure: a lot of Anthropic employees care about safety, so having someone on a hunger strike at the entrance would actually spark more internal debate at Anthropic compared to say a company that cares much less about safety. For instance, last year I believe the two main pressures around SB-1047 at Anthropic were Amazon & safety-conscious employees. If Guido was say kicked out by security that would create more debates than say if it happened at OAI.
- Dario has been a public advocate for AI risk: eg. on this recent podcast he said multiple times that he's done more than any lab CEO w.r.t. being public about the risks from AI. It would make him look quite bad / inconsistent if he was to be responsible for any action that was going against such a strike.
- If something happens, it would probably be at Anthropic: I give a much higher credence to Guido getting a meeting with Anthropic leadership than say OpenAI leadership.
- It starts at Anthropic, but might continue elsewhere: this is one strike in front of one AI lab, but this will probably lead to other simulataneous strikes in front of the other labs as well.
