I bet the timing is a coincidence or due to internal questions/pressure, not PR concerns. Regardless I should ask someone at Anthropic how this post was received within Anthropic.
The plan was for the Trust to elect a fifth board member and also eventually replace Luke and Daniela. I totally believe Anthropic that Luke’s departure was unrelated to Jay’s arrival and generally non-suspicious. [Edit: but I do wish he’d been replaced with a safety-focused board member. My weak impression is that OP has the right to fill that seat until the Trust does; probably OP wants to distance itself from Anthropic but just giving up a board seat seems like a bad call.]
