Anthropic’s IPO, announced today, values the AI company at over $1 trillion, even as its own founders warn of impending doom and an AI apocalypse.

But investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel calls Effective Altruism, the movement tied to Anthropic’s founders, a “secular cult,” and says AI “doomers” don’t actually want to stop AI – they simply want to control it. The IPO will make Anthropic’s founders worth hundreds of billions and hand enormous control over the future of AI to a small ideological movement led by billionaires and elites.

Schachtel explains what Effective Altruism is, how its money is influencing DC, and why he says the fight over AI “safety” is really a fight over who holds the keys.

Behavioral scientist Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, author of “The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work,” says AI adoption is primarily a human challenge. He explains when AI anxiety is rational, what actually resolves it, and why so many employees secretly use “shadow AI” – the practice of using AI tools for their jobs while hiding it from their bosses.

Psychotherapist Dr. Joseph Sansone, author of “Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease of the Soul,” speaks on the psychology of people who seek control over others and his fight to remove mRNA injections from Florida.
