Oh, definitely agreed—I think effects like “EA counterfactually causes a person to work at Anthropic” are straightforwardly good for Anthropic. Almost all of the sources of bad-for-Anthropic effects from EA I expect come from people who have never worked there.
(Though again, I think even the all-things-considered effect of EA has been substantially positive for the company, and I agree that it would probably be virtue-ethically better for Anthropic to express more of the value they’ve gotten from that commons.)
