Dario and Wenfeng: the only two 'serious' AI leaders, and their mirrored motives
nabeelqu · x · 2026-09-14
X user @teortaxesTex argues Dario Amodei's hawkish stance on AI is sincere and logically consistent given his vantage-point assumptions.
He calls Dario and DeepSeek's Liang Wenfeng the only two "serious AI leaders" (with Demis Hassabis increasingly irrelevant): both think beyond business and tech, want their civilizations to survive and reach their potential, accept that this won't happen by default, and take responsibility for it. The author disagrees morally with Dario but respects his seriousness, framing the pair as anime-style rivals.
