> At least Sam and Dario are aligned with a value set that is understood and clear

What value set do you perceive that to be, and why would you take your perception of it to be any more sound than it would be with a politician?

It's not like someone can operate companies of that scale, especially startups, through earnestness and openness. Like national politics, their job is fundamentally about perception management and power brokering across dynamic windows of opportunity. Nothing they say or do can be taken at face value, and you can't reduce their incentives to either company or personal profit in any particular form over any particular time scale.

I feel like many of Anthropic's issues are due to Dario being too earnest and open. It's both refreshing (that a CEO has thought deeply about and is willing to talk publicly about the dangers of their product) and depressing (that so many people cynically think this is some sort of marketing ploy).
