@TheZvi Look, I'm not a huge fan on the administration, but Anthropic (and Dario) thinks it's a lab and but it's really a defense contractor. They need a CEO who knows what that means and they're going to keep stepping on rakes until they get one.

@TheZvi Every major AI lab seems to get their own 'derangement syndrome' once they hit critical mass, it's tradition.

@TheZvi Anthropic raises at 157b. openai raises at 157b. the valuation is a function of cash flow, not intelligence.

@TheZvi You can't say that you're a threat to society and civilization over and over and then not have your CEO understand that his main job is to manage your biggest stakeholder (US Government). Is that stakeholder acting poorly? Yes, but that's the job!
