Anthropic Secretly Masters Selling Ice to Rival Meta—Then Pretends It Didn’t Happen
KEY POINTS
- •Anthropic posted a uniquely detailed sales job hunting to win business directly from Meta, an AI competitor and major client.
- •Meta reportedly spends hundreds of millions monthly on Anthropic, but is developing rival AI to reduce dependence ahead of Anthropic’s IPO.
- •Anthropic removed the job posting shortly after a Business Insider inquiry, and both companies declined comments.
Anthropic, the AI company led by Dario Amodei, boldly posted a job titled 'Mega Account Executive, Meta'—an exquisitely transparent attempt to sell hardcore AI products to the very titan they're locked in a love-hate tango with: Meta. Not content with vague regional postings for Europe or MENA, they went full stalker mode on Meta, their own multi-hundred-million-dollar monthly customer and competitor. The posting offered a wallet-busting $380,000 to $450,000 salary to sell Meta back its own future, all while Meta plots its grand betrayal by building rival AI models. The post vanished the moment Business Insider asked innocent questions, a digital Houdini trick that screams 'guilty.' Meanwhile, Meta’s AI honcho Nat Friedman supposedly warned employees that slashing this relationship could send Anthropic’s IPO dreams into a nosedive. In short, Anthropic is the business equivalent of dating your ex while swiping on new matches, hoping nobody notices.
