Trump AI advisor David Sacks: Anthropic CEO Amodei should 'step aside' if he can't control what he's building

David Sacks told CBS News that tech leaders like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei bear responsibility for product safety — and should "step aside" if they can't control what they're building.
The commenter amplifies the point: if a CEO genuinely believes their product could cause catastrophic damage within months, publishing warning essays while still shipping, going public at a $2 trillion valuation, and pushing regulators to solve the problem is hard to defend. The tension between safety warnings and continued acceleration is at the heart of the debate.
