Dario #Amodei, CEO of #Anthropic, is out here in broad daylight saying that they will cure cancer, heart disease, mental illness, and Alzheimer's in 10 years. Which...could we get any more Elizabeth #Holmes?
Now, the medical people, including the CEO of #EliLilly have already weighed in on what utter nonsense this is, and I'm not a medical people even on the internet, so I'll leave that to them.
But I will say that I have taken more than one company through IPO and/or merger-acquisition, and if one of my CEOs had started behaving like this, there would have been serious discussions about the feasibility of the enterprise as currently driven.
Why? Because we weren't a #cult. Anthropic and the rest of the #tescreal crew are cultists. Desperate cultists hitting all the marks; doomsday, miracles, esoteric hidden knowledge, and now, messianic.
This IPO is a nothing but a bag pull to leave the taxpayers holding the debt. Just like #Tesla. Just like #OpenAI.
