The Coxon psyop was a decade and more than a billion dollars in the making. Here's the story. Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is the grant-providing vehicle of Dustin Moskowitz. CG is the overwhelmingly foremost funder of AI alarmism, with more than $1B in grants and $1B committed for 2026. Moskowitz, who founded and runs Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving, led Anthropic's Series A in 2021. Holden Karnofsky co-founded Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving and took a board seat at OpenAI when Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving gave it $30M in 2017. Karnofsky is married to Anthropic's president Daniela Amodei. He then joined Anthropic in January 2025. Coxon, who started the viral thread, received a scholarship from Good Ventures, which is the foundation that funds Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving. He coordinated his message ahead of time with the Wall Street Journal, which published its exclusive on him before he posted on X. Coxon spent three years pretraining at OpenAI, the company that took $30M from Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving. The funder of the AI alarmist ecosystem Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving, in other words, is also an owner of Anthropic, and his organization is deeply entangled with both OpenAI and Anthropic. Anthropic's researchers in turn amplified Coxon. The same people who own the organizations that advocate for regulation, in other words, are those who own the companies that would dominate the market under that regulatory regime, which would prevent competitors from entering the market. And this work all started ten years ago, right when these companies were founded, paving the way. It's diabolically brilliant. Win at the competition, then deploy activists to help you regulate the market and ensure your monopoly. You have to respect the planning, manipulation, and foresight this took.
