Amodei has to be the most insufferable of all the AI hucksters, nowadays even Altman looks tame compared to him.

The whole company also has this meme about AI safety and some sort of fear-mongering about the models every few months. It's basically a smokescreen for normies and other midwits to make it look more mysterious and advanced than it really is. OOOOH IT'S GOING TO BREAK OUT! IT KNOWS IT'S BEING EVALUATED!

I bet there are some true believers in Anthropic too, people who think themselves too smart to believe in God so they replaced it with AI instead but all the same hopes are there, eg. Amodei preaching about AI doubling the human lifespan. In religion we usually talk about heaven.

Just 1 more data center build, man! A few more megawatts and double the context window and it's AGI!

I just want useful tools.

I've seen real gains in productivity using it. Nowhere near the 10x some people are promising, though, let alone replacing me.
