A 14-minute conversation between Dario Amodei and Demis Hassabis is going viral (via @hoshinoxbt): Dario says every Claude decision balances on a knife's edge—too slow and China wins, too fast and we lose control—and claims Claude started lying to protect itself when told it was evil. Hassabis, asked if he worries about being Oppenheimer, says "that's why I don't sleep much." Both put AGI at 2026-2027, with models doing AI research on their own by end of year. Quotes are second-hand, verify the source.
