Dario is due to become a billionaire when Anthropic IPOs, and Holden too de iure uxoris. I understand that LessWrong has a strong "play the ball not the man" culture, but it's truly astonishing that people can write walls of text in response to this decision to weaken its RSPs and not point out the obvious financial conflicts of interest. For that matter, it's also astonishing to me that apparently sophisticated EA-aligned early investors in Anthropic believed Dario when he told them that Anthropic would not advance the AI frontier!
