I don’t think there’s a vendetta. I think that Dario is an ideologue who has been letting his ideology cloud his business judgment.

I don’t think he’s playing 4D chess; I think he truly believes all the “AI is going to eliminate all the jobs” crap. I think his “Claude Constitution” is wishful thinking and his attempts to exert control over what his customers lawfully do with the product he sells them have made his company untrustworthy; certainly so by the US Dept of War.

I think lately his advisors have made him tone down the doomerism noting that it might tank his IPO, and I am uncertain whether his recent pushes towards more regulation are regulatory capture attempts or ideology or both.

The man is smart but IMO shouldn’t be running the company- he should be a CTO and let a business person make the decisions.

As for the government, bureaucracies gonna do what they always do. If you scare them they regulate you. ITAR is a real thing and the government throws it at technology all the time, from the minds that brought you 40-bit SSL in the 90s.

Well he didn't like Sam doing it, and whoever CEO puppet he finds will be a Sam-like figure anyway.

and I think there's a dozen people carefully crafting every doomerism, which is then handed over to a dozen guerilla marketing companies to be spread far and wide.

really? they're doing a piss poor job, because all I see on the front page every day is marketing and public opinion campaigns. not exactly my favorite content.
