> Amodei's comments came in response to investor Gavin Baker, who argued -- both on the [2]All-In podcast and [3]on X -- that Amodei's warnings about the dangers of AI have helped to fuel [4]a backlash in the United States, [5]particularly against data centers .
>
> Claiming that Amodei has "lost the argument" when it comes to AI regulation (Anthropic has advocated for some regulations, including [6]a California bill that imposes transparency requirements on large AI companies), and given that "he is about to be the CEO of one of the most important companies in the world," Baker wrote, "I respectfully think he should make an effort to be a more positive advocate for his own industry."
>
> Baker is far from the only one arguing that AI skepticism and [7]even government crackdowns are a natural response to the dire warnings of some AI executives. But in a [8]series of posts , Amodei disagreed with the idea that his "messaging has been disproportionately negative." Instead, he said that his writing has been "about equally balanced between risks and benefits," and that he wrote his essay " [9]Machines of Loving Grace " because he "didn't feel the AI industry was painting an inspiring enough picture of how the technology could radically transform the world for the better."
>
> Nonetheless, Amodei acknowledged that "the public has a negative view of AI" and he agreed that "this is a big problem." Where he disagreed was with the idea that this negativity is "primarily caused" by Amodei "or any other AI leader warning about AI's risks." "I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust," Amodei said. "I think that ordinary people don't trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over."

The only crisis of trust is all these techbro CEOs expecting us to trust them simply because they've concocted something and have started foisting it upon the public whether we want it or not.
Even if one removes all of the speculative-fiction comparisons to what authors and script writers come up with, we're still left with a bunch of companies trying to vacuum-up all of the stuff that we as human beings have created in order to emulate us, with the specific goal of replacing us for their own profit. why would we be okay with this?
Additionally AI as it was originally popularized when released to the public showed us that they are happy to replace actual human creativity with bad copies of human creativity, and they expect us to accept this. Human creativity is one of the reasons for living, and seeing the utter deluge of bad AI-slop content on various platforms like Youtube continues to prove that these tools are not good for us. Yet they expect us to trust them.
