My understanding is METR doesn’t take Good Ventures money to avoid the appearance of COIs. We could maybe avoid creating actual COIs but it is crucial to the business model to appear as trusted and neutral as possible.
Regarding COIs, it’s probably bigger that Daniela is married to Holden, and while not strictly a COI, we don’t want the association with OP’s political advocacy. There are probably other things, I’m don’t work on strategy

What’s the risk of an appearance that there’s a COI? Is it that Dustin Moskovitz is an Anthropic investor?
