Anthropic says it is committing a portion of its shares to a new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund (TechCrunch reports 5%). A safety bill Anthropic proposed is reported to trigger only at 50 deaths or $1B in damages; we have not seen the bill text. And Anthropic's own research says its workforce is less junior and spends more time in meetings.
