I agree that Dario is pretty annoying, but I think the "tech villain" archetype is essentially survivorship bias. The tech leaders who don't act that way are not nearly as visible because they're not nearly as successful.
- solenoid0937 3mo agoHN is just a massive Anthropic hate fest now, probably funded/manipulated by OAI's $8B PR budget. OP phrases it as a bad thing that Dario is keeping compute multipliers to Anthropic. How naive can one be? Compute multipliers are the whole business. Those are the trade secrets every lab is built on. It is the alpha of the business. How does protecting this make Dario evil? This website is getting out of hand with the uninformed hot takes. I wish when HN was still people that knew what they were talking about.
- bloppe 3mo agoI'm saying I would do the same thing if I were Dario. I don't think he's evil. I just think his hero complex is annoying.

- versteegen 3mo agoAmusing, this is the first time I've seen someone get flagged for quoting the guidelines.
- satvikpendem 3mo agoI am vindicated.
- FergusArgyll 3mo agoHey! I'm an on-again-off-again Anthropic hater and I may be guilty of uninformed hot takes but I'm not paid for by OpenAI[0] People have different opinions than you, it happens.. [0] @sama if you're reading this we can fix that...
- petesergeant 3mo agoI'm not as conspiratorial as you, but it does seem the tide of opinion here is turning against Amodei, for no particularly obvious external reason. At the same time, there does seem to be at least some evidence of adversarial attempts to oppose data-centers by America's competitors.
- solenoid0937 3mo agoAt my company we are pretty certain that a lot of datacenter opposition is being instrumented and funded by the PRC. AI is a bid for control of all humanity. The first to superintelligence owns our future. I'd say it's okay to be a bit suspicious or conspiratorial of anti-AI/anti-lab narratives.
- layla5alive 3mo agoSo you think we should be suspicious of anti-AI narratives, but not of.. overt race by corporations to "control all of humanity" ?!?
- alightsoul 3mo agoHow are the Chinese doing it then? It's not a zero sum game is it?
