Frontier AI lab Anthropic\u00a0<\/strong>has a culture interview that includes a question about prioritizing mission over future\u00a0<\/strong>share price, according to people familiar with the process.<\/p>\n

The big picture:<\/strong>\u00a0CEO Dario Amodei has questioned whether newer employees are joining the AI lab for\u00a0the right reasons,<\/a>\u00a0according to a source familiar. The interview process gets to the heart of that tension.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:\u00a0<\/strong>Anthropic\u00a0<\/strong>candidates all go through a culture interview,\u00a0<\/strong>conducted by an employee who is nominated for the task.<\/p>\n

Prominent AI researcher Luke Metz\u00a0<\/strong>has joined Meta’s Superintelligence Labs, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Axios.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/strong>: Metz is the latest leading researcher to jump between multiple rival frontier labs as part of the ongoing\u00a0AI talent wars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Driving the news:<\/strong>\u00a0Metz, who left OpenAI in 2024 to join Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines, had\u00a0rejoined<\/a>\u00a0OpenAI earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Flock cameras are joining data centers<\/strong>\u00a0as a top midterm boogeyman, with members of Congress and congressional candidates trying to harness a\u00a0sudden groundswell of grassroots anger<\/a>\u00a0over the AI surveillance tool.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:\u00a0<\/strong>This blowup over the country’s massive network of license plate readers illustrates how rapidly AI has moved from a peripheral issue in national politics toward the center of the midterm campaign.<\/p>\n
