Yeah, obviously Moskovitz is not motivated by personal greed or anything like that since he is giving most of his money away, and I doubt Karnofsky is primarily motivated by money in that sense either. And I think both of them have done great things, or I wouldnât be on this forum! But having your business do well is a point of pride for business people, it means more money *for your political and charitable goals*, and people also generally want their spousesâ business to succeed for reasons beyond âI want money for myself to buy nice stuffâ. (For people who donât know Karnofsky is married to Anthropicâs President, which also means the CEO is his brother-in-law.)
Ah okay yeah, the idea is that the success of the business itself is something theyâll be apt to really care about, and on top of that thereâs a huge upside for positive impact if thereâs financial success because they can then deploy that towards further charitable ends.
Do you know off the top of your head how big a stake Dustin has in Anthropic? I think the amount would play a significant role here.
I donât remember the size, but I was thinking Dustin still has Facebook shares also, and probably still wants Facebook to do well on some level. EDIT: Although itâs possible he has sold his Facebook shares since the last time I remember them being explicitly mentioned somewhere.
