SF Standard: Anthropic 'First Lady' Cami Clark Pitched Epstein on Porn Startup, Introduced Amodei to Schmidt

Anthropic Dario Amodei ai-business

Summary

The SF Standard's follow-up to the WSJ profile of Cami Clark, Dario Amodei's wife, reports she pitched Jeffrey Epstein in 2012 to invest in Eddice, a sex-positive porn startup she co-founded, and had a three-year casual relationship with former Google president Eric Schmidt that led to her introducing Schmidt to Amodei — with Schmidt going on to become an early Anthropic Series A backer. The piece adds new biographical detail (first marriage at 20 to a 64-year-old architect, pipefitters-union early career, Epstein introduction via literary agent John Brockman) to the widening scrutiny of Anthropic's inner circle as it moves toward an IPO.
