The first two are definitely "heroes who lived long enough to be villains"; Oculus is more of an "I recon" due to how it was seen right up until getting bought by Facebook.
But in the stock market, it is almost impossible for companies like Anthropic or any successful startups not to become villains (profit first no matter what). Anthropic especially needs to burn huge amount of money, so they need a lot of funding. The only way to keep founders' idealism is probably to copy Zuckerberg. Divide stocks with and without voting-power and trade only no-voting stocks.
Exactly right. But i think it makes it a good example actually. Company DNA is a thing. Bill Gates isn't running microsoft anymore. Still...
What would be more appropriate example?
Apple, Tesla, Oculus.

I'm not denying 95% of that, only saying that Zuckerberg didn't have any idealism to lose in the first place.
I actually forgot that his first site was facemash which single purpose was to rate "hotness" of each individual girl on his University.

Anthropic is not a public company.
LOL, Palmer Luckey is a right-wing war mongering psychopath.
