Dario Amodei Quietly Meets with Pentagon Officials as AI Arms Race Heats Up – Is the 'Responsible AI' CEO Selling Out or Saving Us?
Sources confirm that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei held undisclosed talks with senior defense contractors and Pentagon brass last week, raising eyebrows in the tech community. The meeting, shrouded in NDAs, comes just months after Amodei publicly warned about the dangers of unregulated AI. But who benefits when the architect of 'ethical AI' starts cozying up to the military-industrial complex? Critics argue Amodei’s move signals a pivot from safety rhetoric to profit, while supporters claim it's necessary to keep dangerous technology out of enemy hands. Either way, the mainstream narrative of 'trust the experts' is getting a reality check.
