discussing whether it was a good idea to invest $580m in Anthropic (HT to someone else for this example). The financial difference is ~30x, the potential impact difference seems much greater still.
There is a write-up specifically on this, that has been reviewed by some people. The author is now holding it back for ~4-6 weeks because they were requested to.
Yeah, I think making sure discussion of these topics (both Anthropic and Wytham) is appropriately careful seems good to me. E.g., the discussion of Wytham seemed very low-quality to me, with few contributors providing sound analysis of how to think about the counterfactuals of real estate investments.
At this point, I think it’s unfortunate that this post has not been published, a >2 month delay seems too long to me. If there’s anything I can do to help get this published, please let me know.
so we’re waiting 1.5 month to see if Anthropic was a bag idea?
On the other hand: Wytham Abbey was purchased by EV / CEA and made the news. Anthropic is a private venture. If Anthropic shows up in an argument, I can just say I don’t have anything to do with that. But if someone mentioned that Wytham Abbey was bought by the guy who wrote the basics of how we evaluate areas and projects… I still don’t know what to say.

Actually, this particular post was drafted by a person who has been banned from the Forum, so I think it’s fine that it’s not published

Requested to, by who/for what reason? Is this information you have access to?
