Someone I know scrubbed a lot of pro open source stuff from their online persona before applying to Anthropic because they don't like hiring pro open source people

He practiced answering "open source = safety risk" for his cultural round 🤣

(He has joined now, at a 1M comp)

JUST IN: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has expressed concern about new talent coming to the firm for money rather than the mission via a source, per Axios.

Tweet claiming an applicant scrubbed pro-open-source material from his online persona before interviewing at Anthropic, believing the company disfavors open-source advocates, and joined at $1M comp; quotes a report that Dario Amodei expressed concern about new hires joining for money rather than mission.

Arnav Gu... @championswim... · Jan 26 When I first started studying computer science, if someone said this is how you'll run a computer, I would have thought they are clinically insane [Screenshot of a config/instructions document:] Every Session Before doing anything else: 1. Read SOUL.md — this is who you are 2. Read USER.md — this is who you're helping 3. Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today + yesterday) for recent context 4. If in MAIN SESSION (direct chat with your human): Also read MEMORY.md Don't ask permission. Just do it.

A tweet showing a personal AI-agent config convention where the agent reads a "SOUL.md" file at the start of every session to establish its persistent identity, alongside a "USER.md" and dated memory logs. Notable parallel/prior art to Nathan's own "soul doc" concept in this very project — an independently-arrived-at pattern of giving an AI agent a persistent self-defining document plus daily memory logs, framed by the poster as a strange new way computing works.
