​About Robin Larson:

​Robin describes himself as a farm boy from the midwest who thinks we can use AI to smash open the doors to paradise for all creatures. Being both an IT security nerd and vegan for almost all of his adult life got him excited about Effective Altruism. He was the first full-timer hired for Anthropic’s Security department, founding the IT team and running it for the explosive year they went from having no product to having the most advanced AI model in the world. Robin now explores how we can utilize Claude for IT security, while spending his free time researching effective giving and the future of animal welfare.
