From The Desk Of Beatrix Lamarr: Issue #17
The AI safety chief at Anthropic, the company that built Claude, quit this week. Mrinank Sharma didn’t defect to a competitor. He left to study poetry.
From his resignation letter:
“The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very moment. We appear to be approaching a threshold where our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences.”
So…Anthropic’s positioning as the responsible AI company is more messaging than reality? I’m shocked I tell you 👀
This resignation may be less whistleblower moment and more existential awakening, but when the person who spent two years building the safety guardrails walks out the door mid-product cycle, it’s worth noting. The industry is moving fast. Even the people inside it are feeling it.
Hollywood continues to face an uncertain future thanks to rapidly evolving video capabilities. An AI-generated fight scene featuring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt went viral this week, reigniting the conversation about likeness, ownership and who gets to decide what your face does once your image exists online.
And the AI gender gap continues to widen. Not just the tech gap. The economic one.
The divide separates:
💋 Founders who redesigned their workflows with AI to expand capacity and scale with the power of a 50 person team at their fingertips
💋 Founders still consuming AI content without implementing any of it who continue to fall behind.
Which one are you right now? And which one do you want to be?

💄 Harvard Business School: Women use AI 20% less than men on a Universal Level
Why are women still choosing the hard way?

The AI gender gap isn’t a tech problem. It’s a permission problem.
Here’s what the data actually says: women are using AI at least 20% less than men and it’s not a competency gap. It’s not even an access gap. Research confirms the gap exists even when access is equal.
It’s a cultural one. And at the heart of it? The same thing that’s been holding women back forever.
Women have a fear that using AI is like a shortcut and will be seen as cheating
—Zehra Chatoo, former Meta employee & founder of Code For Good Now
It’s the same instinct that makes us over-prepare, over-qualify, and over-deliver before we feel we’ve “earned” the result.
The same conditioning that has us applying for jobs only when we meet 100% of the requirements, while men stroll in at 60% and call it confidence.
We were taught that hard work is the price of credibility. That if it didn’t cost us something, it doesn’t count.
AI doesn’t care about any of that. It just does the work.
And here’s the part that matters most: AI is shaped by its user base. The less women use it, the less it reflects us — our voices, our needs, our lived experience.
We’re not just leaving a tool on the table. We’re ceding the power to shape what this technology becomes.
The question isn’t whether you can use it. It’s whether you’ll finally let yourself.
The good news? If you’ve been wanting to “learn AI” but you don’t know where to begin, AI For Her is launching our first ever live workshop. If you’re a busy founder ready to get the repetitive 💩 you hate to AI, join the waitlist for details.
