Dario Amodei wrote: "I agree that there's a negative public attitude toward AI. But I don't think it's because I or any other AI leader has warned about the dangers. It's a crisis of trust. Ordinary people don't trust companies, governments, or the tech industry. There are decades-old reasons for this, and AI is just a new manifestation of it."
I don't think this trust can be earned through big marketing campaigns. People now consider claims like "curing cancer" misleading. What will truly work is actually curing cancer. The most accurate criticism of AI companies, including Anthropic, is that we haven't yet fulfilled our lofty promises of global benefits. That's entirely our responsibility, and that's what you should be questioning, not the marketing.
First big post on social media
According to reports, Dario Amodei doesn't typically post long posts on social media. This time, he's elaborated on his thoughts and openly discussed AI regulations and concerns. It's worth noting that many analysts monitoring the AI industry believe that the creation of AI regulations will concentrate power in the hands of large companies. Some believe that open-source models may be better for sharing AI.
Anthropic has AI tools like Cloud and Mythos. Mythos is considered so powerful that not everyone has access to it. It's said that if Mythos falls into the wrong hands, it could pose a threat to governments and institutions.
