I think most of HN can't logically arrive at this conclusion because they don't exactly buy into the premise that

(1) (digital) AGI is a real concept, and will be achieved imminently

(2) AGI will be world (and possibly more) changing.

(3) Anthropic will be the one to do that, or at least capture a large part of it

If you buy into all of these, which I'm assuming a lot of SV does at this point, then its kind of a no brainer to go to OpenAI or Anthropic. And optics wise it seems like Anthropic is "winning" right now, so thats the lab with the talent flow.

If Anthropic actually creates a singleton, contributing to that is way more impactful than being CTO at some random company (though I may disagree that said singleton would treat equity holders any differently).

Creation of a singleton seems at odds with point (3) you listed.

Agreed. We are like the myth(?) of the Central American natives, who supposedly could not "see" the conquistador ships... similar to the fact that most people appear to unable to visually comprehend what this means: elon-salute.gif.

It is so hard to logically accept either possibility. I am there with everyone else.

I wish I lived in boring times.
