Hi, Boris, since everybody is taking this opportunity to address somebody from Anthropic, I'll join in.

How is the culture there? How do people feel about taking the work of others without credit, especially when it's clear some people don't want their work fed to an "interpolating autocompleter" and reproduced without credit?

I see you have some open source projects on GitHub. Why do you have a license file on them when your employer along with similar others claims that licenses don't matter anymore and enables others who want to take without giving back?[0] Have you ever considered (A)GPL for your work to force others to give back to the community if they make improvements? Do you think the wishes of people who do that should be respected?

Do you think the right of users to inspect and modify code is important? You might use Linux or not but your employer certainly does. Do you think Linux would be the rich, full-features and reliable OS it is today if 20 years ago, every company was able to take the public base code and keep their modifications private?

Finally, what happens to you, personally, when AGI is achieved and you have nothing to offer the company? Do you think you'll keep your job somehow (how?) or have enough saved up to live out the rest of your live when you are no longer economically viable?
