Rishi Sunak hired by Microsoft and Anthropic as paid adviser
Thoughts on Rishi taking up jobs at Microsoft and Anthropic?
Apparently he plans to "donate his earnings to a charity he founded", which makes sense, given that his family is already worth around £640 million.
Also Rishi apparently already has a job with Goldman Sachs in addition to another existing job of his: remaining the MP for Richmond and Northallerton in Yorkshire.

What. A. Surprise.
Anthropic too? Shame
"Too"? Why would you expect anything else from them?
Anthropic rarely breaks the news for this kind of stuff.
It's still an AI company founded by a bunch of ex OpenAI higher ups with billions in funding from big tech and venture capital. It's the exact same as the others
They were in the news not long ago for agreeing to pay $1.5 billion to book authors in a class action suit
Is that the Coldplay concert one?
