“Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be…”

Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be relics of the past in less than a decade, and that “we can create an age of miracles”

“You know, if today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness, these will be relics of the past in, I think, less than a decade.”

“And I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way.”

“I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia.”

“We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time.”

Quoting @firesidealpha: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reveals he holds “Dario Vision Quest” talks every two weeks where nothing he says is an actual decision and he is totally honest with the company

“An example I will give is every two weeks, I get up in front of the company and I speak for an hour about what is happening inside the company, what is happening in the AI field, what is happening in the world, how the company thinks strategically.”

“The two ironclad rules of these events. I call them DVQs, Dario Vision Quest. That was not my name. I initially resisted the name because it makes it sound like I’m going off and smoking peyote, but everyone kept calling them that. The name stuck, and so now I’m stuck with it.”

“The two rules of DVQs are that, one, nothing I say is an actual decision. That allows me to just speak freely, you know, without worrying that if I, you know, if I briefly mentioned doing X, that 20 people will go off and do X, it’s like the CEO said it, we’re going to do X. And then the second is that I’m just, I’m totally honest with the company. It’s a conversation of trust. It’s a relationship of trust.”
