Gary Marcus reposts Ed Newton-Rex's critique of Dario Amodei, who claimed cancer and Alzheimer's will be relics of the past within a decade and that the company which gets risks right will earn society's trust. Critics point out the contradiction: Anthropic downloaded 7 million pirated books, raised $1B+ on models trained on them, still trains on creators' work without consent, and lobbies governments to allow it.
