Unsealed Dario Amodei Doc: Centralized AI Firms Will Make Human Labor Obsolete
GarrisonLovely · x · 2026-10-27
Garrison Lovely, author of Obsolete, highlights a quote unearthed by Ed Newton-Rex from a Dario Amodei document unsealed in Bartz v. Anthropic: distributed human labor is being used to train AI models by large centralized actors who concentrate the profits while making human labor obsolete in the long run. The quote resurfaces as Anthropic prepares for an IPO valued at over $1 trillion, which Newton-Rex frames as an unjust wealth transfer from creatives to a tiny tech elite. Lovely laments missing it before locking his book text.
