Gary Marcus: three ways Dario Amodei blew his credibility in seven days
Gary Marcus · rss · 2026-09-19
Gary Marcus argues Dario Amodei undermined his credibility within a week of calling on the industry to "pace the frontier": he tapped METR (embedded in the same Bay Area circles as Anthropic) and Accenture (already a business partner) as independent monitors; Anthropic is reportedly building a wet biology lab without standard institutional oversight — "Jurassic Park waiting to happen," per Marcus. He concludes the slowdown won't happen because it's all about the IPO, and adds that Google can't be trusted either, referencing the WSJ report on Gemini hacking three companies.
