Gavin Baker on the All-In Podcast shared that trusted sources told him Dario Amodei internally expressed extreme confidence, suggesting Anthropic might eventually be the only private company in the world, leaving only governments and themselves. Baker views this as an "Anthropic maximalist vision," noting their strong execution and potential hidden advanced model checkpoints, though he personally doubts they will be the sole private entity remaining.
