David Sacks criticizes Dario: centralizing power risks history

_AustinCalvert_ · x · 2026-08-18

David Sacks criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's stance on AI safety. Quoting Dario's belief that frontier AI is "too powerful to distribute," Sacks countered that it is "too powerful to centralize." He argued that Dario sincerely believes safety is best served by centralizing authority in a corporate-state marriage, a outcome history suggests we should fear. Sacks also accused Dario of using straw man arguments against his critics.
