Stephanie Palazzolo, a reporter for The Information, posted an image and article on X, stating that she obtained an internal transcript of a speech by Anthropic founder Dario Amodei. Dario stated internally that the tension between Anthropic and the Trump administration stemmed from Anthropic's unwillingness to appease the current administration—"The real reason is that we didn't donate to Trump… We didn't offer dictatorial praise to Trump (while Sam Altman did); we support AI regulation, which contradicts their agenda; we spoke the truth on many AI policy issues (such as job displacement); we truly stood our ground, instead of colluding with them to create a so-called safety show to appease employees." Stephanie suggests that Dario's mention of donations is a veiled reference to OpenAI President Greg Brockman's $25 million donation to Trump.
