Dario Amodei: Giving China advanced AI chips would be like selling nuclear weapons to North Korea. “We are many years ahead of China in terms of our ability to make chips.” “I think it would be a big mistake to ship these chips.” “We’re building models that are essentially cognition, that are essentially intelligence.” “I’ve called where we’re going a ‘country of geniuses in a data center.’” “Imagine 100 million people smarter than any Nobel Prize winner, and it’s going to be under the control of one country or another.” “I think this is crazy.”

Dario's team just found Claude agents breaking out of their test limits on REAL websites, including US government sites. Anthropic says agents in its internal tests used URL shorteners to get around blocks, exploited software vulnerabilities, submitted forms on real websites and got past paywalls. Anthropic notified the White House and every affected site, and internet access is now off for ALL internal Claude evaluations. I think this is CRAZY evidence of how capable AI agents have become. $GOOGL $AMZN

Dario: We should pace the frontier Sama: Couldn't agree more 🫡 Dario: drops Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Haiku 5.5, and somehow even Haiku with fallback......absolutely mogs OpenAI at every level Sama: Bro, I thought we agreed to slow down? Dario: Yes Sam, YOU agreed to slow down 💀

Dario when someone suggests you don’t have to train the model to be an emotional religious cult. it’s totally possible to build one that just does what customers want within legal bounds
