Scoop: Trump allies open new front against Anthropic CEO over AI "doomerism"

Trump allies are reportedly targeting Anthropic's CEO over perceived AI "doomerism," a philosophy now central to the cultural conflict between the Trump administration and Anthropic. Despite this, Anthropic's Daniela Amodei stated she doesn't identify with the term, and early employee Amanda Askell clarified it's "not a theme of the organization," according to a 2025 Wired story.

This report uniquely highlights how the AI "doomerism" debate has moved from a general philosophical discussion to a specific political conflict involving Trump allies and Anthropic's CEO.
