Report: Amodei told staff that Anthropic was targeted for lack of “dictator-style praise” for Trump
More details are leaking out from Anthropic about how CEO Dario Amodei explained the company’s dramatic schism with the Pentagon over its AI terms of use.
The Information shared details from a leaked 1,600-word memo to employees that Amodei reportedly sent on Friday after the Trump administration attacked the startup.
Per the report, Amodei told his staff that the reason the company was on the outs with the Trump administration was the fact that it had not given “dictator-style praise” to President Trump, “(while Sam has),” referring to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Amodei also noted that OpenAI President Greg Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to the MAGA Inc super PAC, which likely put their competitor in the good graces of Trump and co.
