Critic Mocks Dario: 'Pace the Frontier' On Stage, $500B Compute Off Stage
mjdramstead · x · 2026-09-14
A user mocked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's apparent double standard with a stage-vs-off-stage contrast:
- On stage: "Let's pace the frontier"
- Off stage: buy $500B compute, plan for a $2T IPO, target 80% profit margin, lobby for regulatory capture, claim Anthropic will be the last company standing with a $30T TAM, call open models dangerous, and keep powerful models internal only.
