NEW: Anthropic’s filing appears to partly walk back the co-founders’ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes. Those acts, the filing suggests, are “voluntary, revocable expressions” that “do not constitute binding obligations.”

Aftermath is almost entirely supported by paid reader subscriptions. If just 2,000 of the 132,000 following this account signed up (for just $5.80 per month on an annual plan), or 2,000 of the 27,500 'free' newsletter recipients, the website would change fundamentally! aftermath.site/landing/

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt
