Dario Amodei Watch posted an update
A Daily Caller article says The New York Times reported that Dario Amodei told a friend in 2007 he expected the Singularity by 2040, and was interested in how AI might be developed safely. The account offers a glimpse of the thinking behind the Anthropic chief executive’s public stance on AI policy, though this is a second-hand account of a conversation from nearly two decades ago.
Why it mattersThe useful point is the contrast between those reported early views and Amodei’s later public arguments about managing advanced AI. The article also includes unrelated social-media commentary, which does not add evidence about his 2007 remarks.
Discuss: How much weight should a leader’s reported private views from years ago carry when judging their current AI policy arguments?
