holy: Dario Amodei says the real reason he started Anthropic was not safety, but a fundamental breakdown of trust with Sam Altman.

Imagine having a trust dispute with someone, and somehow a $1.2T rival company comes out of it.

@ns123abc Basically most labs except Google were started because someone didn't like someone else, and didn't want them getting their hands on the infinity gauntlet.

🚨Dario Amodei says he started Anthropic not because of safety reasons but because Sam Altman is manipulative liar who cannot be trusted

@AndrewCurran_ @ns123abc kinda - only difference is Sama saw everyone gatekeeping ai so he decided to open up the flood gates and drop ChatGPT in 2022

@ns123abc @elonmusk and @DarioAmodei have the same opinion on Sam Altman it appears about trusting him @grok

@isninkhamiss @AndrewCurran_ @ns123abc oh no im not saying ur speculating at all i know the history! Just funny how google built life changing tech and didn’t iterate on it fast enough. But i do understand that their whole business identity would’ve been under threat if they did.

@b82202 @ns123abc I think Dario has proven to be more of a legitimately bad faith actor, ironically by way of obsessing over ethics/safety. The EA mindset is sort of a totalitarian one. Sam is a more simple case, not necessarily “good” but far less dogmatic

@ns123abc @Yahiko1239170 I agree with Dario here.

I may not agree with Dario’s push on the “guardrails,” but I’d pick him 1000x over Sam.

I don’t trust Sam Altman.

He defrauded charity.

I still hold out hope for Dario… small… but not snuffed out. •

@ns123abc Dario has shown that he is a worse kind of manipulative liar who can be trusted even less

@isninkhamiss @AndrewCurran_ @ns123abc well that can be true but also what google was doing with AI was kinda stupid, you would think the lab that made the transformer that every LLM has been built on since would be able to train better models but they rather waste their precious time on Ads lol.

@wokoma_festus @ns123abc I think Dario is way smarter than Sam.

I also think Dario cares and is accidentally misaligned with what actually needs to happen. •

@ns123abc Fully correct, Sam is not trustworthy. The big problem is, that Dario is far less trustworthy than Sam. We can't trust humanity's future to these people.
