It seems like they haven't accepted any non-profit since 2022, around the time Garry Tan became YC's CEO. Garry has been very vocal against EA (specially AI Safety) on Twitter.

Holden Karnofsky has joined Anthropic (LinkedIn profile). I haven't been able to find more information.

Anthropic's Twitter account was hacked. It's "just" a social media account, but it raises some concerns.

Update: the post has just been deleted. They keep the updates on their status page: https://status.anthropic.com/

Great initiative! 🙌🙌 

I've been hoping for something like this to exist. https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/CK7pGbkzdojkFumX9/meta-charity-focused-on-earning-to-give

What do EtGers need?

I've been donating 20% of my income for a couple of years, and I'm planning to increase it to 30–40%. I'd love to meet like-minded people: ambitious EAs who are EtG.
