Anthropic itself isn’t Molochian—The molochian-ness (idk if I’m using this term right I don’t read SSC) is that any time there is a disagreement in the community over some issue, and one side aligns more with the real worlds outer loops (money, status, intellectual sexiness), that side will naturally acquire more power within the movement because the movement does not have any way to counteract this other than persuasion which is increasingly difficult as the problems we deal with get more abstract and complex.

Yeah that sounds reasonable to me
