Afraid that GPT-3 is an AGI, afraid of going to China and being kidnapped, Anthropic's Dario is probably the strangest CEO in Silicon Valley
Comparative news, according to monitoring, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's biggest contrast is that he always thought AI might destroy the world, yet he founded the most aggressive cutting-edge AI company. As early as OpenAI, he was already exaggerating. Instead of leaving Google Docs, write sensitive notes at home on a computer completely disconnected from the internet, and then print them out for colleagues. Some claim that he even refused to go to China for fear of being kidnapped. GPT-3 hasn't started training yet, so he's worried it might be close to AGI. As a result, the security team led by Dario delayed Microsoft's $1 billion investment in OpenAI for several months. A former OpenAI executive described the group as a group of priests at the time. He also didn't deal with Sam Altman for a long time. The two often clash at OpenAI, and at one point Dario even ran into the office library to watch YouTube to calm himself down. Later, Anthropic employees also privately ridiculed that he had Sama Derangement Syndrome (meaning he was stunned by Sam Altman). This temperament continued until Anthropic. The company has an all-staff meeting every two weeks, commonly known as Dario Vision Quest, where he talks at length about AI, politics, war, and the future of humanity. The company even hired a group of economists to study what would happen to GDP and unemployment after the singularity came. One employee said that Dario always had singularities in his mind. A major investor commented that he was more like a religious leader than a CEO.
