"Hoffman, a partner at VC firm Greylock, which, he said, has invested in Anthropic, praised the AI lab as "one of the good guys" in an attempt to push back against attacks by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks. Sacks accused Anthropic of using "a sophisticated regulatory capture strategy based on fearmongering" to advance regulation, an approach he says is stifling innovation and startups. "Anthropic, along with some others (incl Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI) are trying to deploy AI the right way, thoughtfully, safely, and enormously beneficial for society," Hoffman wrote in a post on X. "Some other labs are making decisions that clearly disregard safety and societal impact (e.g., bots that sometimes go full-fascist) and that's a choice.""
"There has been a recent uptick in inaccurate claims about Anthropic's policy stances. Some are significant enough that they warrant setting the record straight."
Reid Hoffman, a partner at VC firm Greylock, said Greylock invested in Anthropic and praised the lab as "one of the good guys." David Sacks accused Anthropic of pursuing "a sophisticated regulatory capture strategy based on fearmongering" to advance regulation and argued that approach stifles innovation and startups. Sacks also attacked Hoffman personally, calling him "the leading funder of lawfare and dirty tricks against President Trump," and received a one-word endorsement from Elon Musk. Hoffman invited a professional conversation about AI. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a statement rebutting inaccurate claims and said he strongly agreed with Vice President JD Vance's recent comments on AI.
