Scoop: Trump allies open new front on Anthropic CEO as face of AI "doomerism"

President Trump's allies are targeting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei as a symbol of AI "doomerism" and effective altruism, criticizing the movement's values ahead of Anthropic's planned IPO. The White House circulated a memo framing effective altruism as out of touch with mainstream America and linking it to Amodei and Anthropic's leadership. Anthropic denies strong ties to effective altruism and emphasizes AI's benefits amid bipartisan safety concerns.
