'Anthropic could dedicate one-fifth of its new fund’s initial equity stake commitment, equivalent to 1 percent of the company, to these children’s investment [Trump] accounts. OpenAI should make a comparable commitment.' @John_Bailey @AEICTSE @AEItech @AEI

Anthropic announced plans to commit 5 percent of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund, with more potentially added as the company’s value grows.

@John_Bailey argues that they should give kids a stake.

Anthropic and OpenAI should use their IPOs to invest directly in America’s kids.

Anthropic just set aside 5% of its shares for a new Public Benefit Fund. At a ~$2T IPO valuation, that’s roughly $100B, one of the largest charitable commitments in history. 🧵

[NCTA - The Internet & Television Association @NCTAitv]

As #WRC27 approaches, protecting America's Wi-Fi advantage is more important than ever.
