Dario Amodei used a social post to argue that framing AI regulation as a choice between concentrated power via regulatory capture or broad distribution is a false dichotomy, saying the impact depends on specific rules and institutional design 1. He said Anthropic aims to craft policies that slow frontier labs while advantaging smaller competitors, citing support or ambivalence toward California bills with revenue/training-cost carveouts, and advocating more rigorous testing for frontier models through CAISI/White House processes and the Pacing the Frontier approach 1. He views AI as structurally power-concentrating due to scaling dynamics, with open-weights helping but insufficient, and contends well-designed rules can mitigate risks, constrain frontier labs, and still allow open-weights with tailored safeguards 1. He endorsed reported federal moves toward pre-deployment testing for frontier and, as they approach the frontier, open-weights models, and expressed support for Demis Hassabis’s FINRA-like idea, contrasting this with the industry stance six months earlier 1.

The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
