ANTHROPIC CEO: My employees bunch of untrustworthy rats…

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is concerned that new hires at the company are joining primarily for high salaries rather than its stated mission of safely building AI, according to Futurism, citing Axios reporting and a source familiar with the matter.

The $965 billion firm is known for offering some of the industry’s top compensation packages. The report comes as Anthropic reportedly pursues a trillion-dollar IPO and faces scrutiny over past commitments, including a dropped safety pledge tied to model training guardrails. Anthropic has not publicly commented on the report.
