I share your concerns about the corrupting influence of money (and the importance of this space), but wanted to point out that Anthropic announced two relevant things last week regarding corporate governance:
First, that it has arranged to be controlled by a Long-Term Benefit Trust: "an independent body of five financially disinterested members with an authority to select and remove a portion of our Board that will grow over time (ultimately, a majority of our Board)".

Hey, even if it does revert to being finance driven, we still get at least a few sincere "don't be evil" years like we did with Google. I think it's still worthwhile.

Second, that it also published and committed to a Responsible Scaling Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/index/anthropics-responsible-scali...
