ME AI News: According to Beating Monitoring, in an interview with Bloomberg, Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei explicitly expressed strong aversion to social media, viewing social networks as the negative lesson the AI industry must learn from. Dario said plainly that he intensely dislikes an ad-driven business model. He pointed out that social media’s excessive pursuit of user time on the platform and addictive behavior has triggered a series of serious social problems, including mental health and election integrity. Dario warned that the social networking industry is facing strong backlash from society at large, and that the AI industry is extremely fortunate to be positioned right after social media. Anthropic’s core strategy is to learn from these lessons—proactively anticipate and intervene in potential risks—to “get things right at the first moment,” rather than retracing Silicon Valley’s old path of “break first, then defend.” The criticism of social networks directly determines Anthropic’s path to commercialization. Unlike peers who are committed to consumer-level addictive products, Dario’s team focuses its business positioning on enterprise-level and professional applications, and works hard to avoid addictive design choices that could lead to negative social effects.
