In a CBS Sunday Morning interview airing September 13, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said he didn't fully appreciate how fast AI progress would feel, calling current developments a "warning sign" and arguing "we need to slow down." The retweeter dismisses it as theater, claiming trillions ride on convincing the public of AI risk ahead of IPOs backed by Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison.
