Shikhar Murty retweeted Anshul Kundaje's response to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Regarding Amodei's claim that "it will actually be possible to cure most human disease in 5-10 years," Kundaje expressed skepticism. He argued that those making such grand predictions should walk through the specific mechanisms of how this will happen, rather than just stating it. The original context also includes Amodei's defense of his messaging on AI risks and benefits, stating it is balanced and that he wrote "Machines of Loving Grace" to provide an inspiring vision of AI's potential.
