Dario Amodei, CEO of AI firm Anthropic, in October 2024 penned an optimistic vision of the future when AI and robots can do most work in a 14,000 word essay entitled - ‘Machines of Loving Grace’.
Last month Mr Amodei was reported as saying the following - “I don’t know exactly when it’ll come,” CEO Dario Amodei told the Wall Street Journal. “I don’t know if it’ll be 2027…I don’t think it will be a whole bunch longer than that when AI systems are better than humans at almost everything. Better than almost all humans at almost everything. And then eventually better than all humans at everything.”
Although Mr Amodei wasn’t present at the recent inauguration, the rest of Big Tech was. They seem united behind America’s most prominent South African, in his bid to tear down the American administrative state and remake it (into who knows what?). Simultaneously they are leading us into a future where we will have to compete with robots & AI for jobs, where they are better than us, and cost pennies an hour to employ.
Mr. Amodei is rapidly making this world of non-human workers come true, but at least he has a vision for what comes after. What about the rest of Big Tech? How long can they just preach the virtues of destruction, but not tell us what will arise from the ashes afterwards?
“I don’t know if it’ll be 2027…I don’t think it will be a whole bunch longer than that when AI systems are better than humans at almost everything.
It’s impossible to put words to how completely full of shit this take is. Lol.
I never ever short stocks, but betting against this guy is incredibly tempting. Someone’s going to make an easy dollar just investing in the stuff this clown thinks he’s going to replace with AI in 2027.
Reminds me of the grains of rice on a chessboard doubling each square. The end result suprised the king and the time horizons of these things is going to suprise humanity.
