News about Dario Amodei

Once considered a long shot, Anthropic has pulled ahead of OpenAI on several fronts: it reported $16.8 billion in third-quarter revenue at a recent investor update, is profitable on an adjusted basis, and is expected to go public in November, while OpenAI has delayed its offering until 2027. CEO Dario Amodei predicted AI would exceed human capacity at most everything by 2027 or 2028. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in March that AGI had already arrived and repeated that in September, citing OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, built on more than 100,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs, which solved 10 long-standing math and computer science problems. Elon Musk expects Space Exploration Technologies to reach AGI with Grok 5, due next year, while Sam Altman said OpenAI is nearly there and expects AGI by the end of the year. The article suggests Amodei's prediction appears on track, and notes political pushback against new data centers and labor-market anxiety over AI disruption.
