BlockBeats News, February 28th, Former Coinbase Chief Technology Officer, angel investor Balaji Srinivasan, expressed his views on the “Anthropic rejects Pentagon open security clearance request, Trump orders tough ban” event, stating: The “principles” in the political and tech fields are often a disguise for tribal interests, for example, the Democratic Party supports Starlink for Biden’s military aid but opposes Anthropic servicing Trump’s military needs, reflecting rational tribal strategies.
He pointed out that Americans traditionally do not emphasize tribalism until recent years of intensified polarization; AI practitioners once naively believed in a return to consensus, but now they must face the dialectical relationship between the network and the state, driving Silicon Valley to radiate towards global startup cities. “Tribes can cooperate internally, and tribes can also cooperate with each other. The key is to understand which tribe you (tech company) belong to and which tribe you are dealing with. You can have your own principles as well. But understand that only those principles that can bring collective strength to the tribe over time will survive in natural selection.”
