Timeline (last 90 days)
Anthropic's Dario Amodei once proposed an economic model to compensate data producers: tracking each training input's contribution to model output quality and distributing revenue proportionally, but it was abandoned because it was "too difficult and too complex."
Amodei issued a "pacing the frontier" statement saying things are moving too fast, and Altman and Demis also expressed support, a rare agreement on slowing down among the leaders of three rival companies.
Seven OpenAI employees led by Dario Amodei left and founded Anthropic because they did not trust Sam Altman and Greg Brockman to control powerful technology.
Dario Amodei is obsessed with Richard Rhodes's Pulitzer Prize-winning work "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" and regards Leo Szilard as a scientific hero.
Anthropic released its annual public benefit report, self-assessing against five charter pillars and acknowledging gaps in each; CEO Dario Amodei defended the company's 'Race to Top' strategy, citing safety measures such as delaying model releases and placing 5% of the company's equity in a public benefit fund, while acknowledging some communication missteps.
The "Dario and Altman" mentioned in the comments refer to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, respectively.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argues that open weights amount to distributing near-weapons-grade capabilities without any barrier, and has publicly accused some Chinese companies of building systems on top of US AI technology.
Amodei categorized items 7, 8, and 9 of the criticism list as "rhetoric or policy communication that was not prudent enough," and acknowledged that "it could have been handled better."
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a long response on X, responding to criticism from AI safety investigator Nathan Calvin.
Amodei said Anthropic regards loss-of-control risk and misuse risk as equally serious threats.
