Anthropic is a rather unusual public benefit corporation. Is this good?

This next chapter in my series on unusual #CorporateGovernance in #ArtificialIntelligence concerns #GenerativeAI and #LargeLanguageModel vendor Anthropic and it's unusual public benefit corporation (aka #BCorp) structure. I give a bit of context on the ?why? of the B-corp, discuss it's limited history, and discuss how it might increase vulnerability to some standard corporate governance problems. It is worth emphasizing that it is a new thing, so there is not really much history to underwrite these objections, yet novelty per se is not a great quality in corporate governance.

You might consider these issues relative to the tumult at OpenAI which was certainly fueled in part by that other company's own unusual (if different) governance structure.
