Dario Amodei to Silicon Valley: regulation isn't a power grab, it's a power split
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei spent his rare social media energy firing back at investor Gavin Baker, who claimed Dario had 'lost the argument' on AI regulation and was accidentally fueling anti datacenter backlash. Dario's rebuttal: the idea that rules either concentrate power in a few hands or force us to distribute AI wildly is a false choice. He argues well designed regulation, like SB53 and his 'Pacing the Frontier' proposals, actually protects smaller AI challengers from the giants, himself included, by exempting them from the toughest rules. It matters because this fight over who gets to control AI's future just went very public.
Nothing says 'humble tech founder' like a two part thread defending your own regulatory legacy.
