Dario's words are quite harsh, but can AI really achieve "think first, act later"? Or will it ultimately become just another social media platform?

CoinWorld News reported that Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei (Dario Amodei) clearly expressed his strong aversion to social media in an interview with Bloomberg, regarding it as a negative lesson the AI industry must learn from. He said plainly that he strongly detests an ad-driven business model, noting that social media excessively pursues users’ time spent on the platform and addictive behavior, which has triggered a series of serious social problems such as mental health issues and election integrity. Dario warned that the social networking industry is currently facing strong resistance from society as a whole, while the AI industry is very fortunate to come after social media. Anthropic’s core strategy is to learn from these lessons—actively anticipate and intervene in potential risks—so as to “get things right the first time,” rather than repeating Silicon Valley’s old path of “break first, then justify.”
