Note that Nvidia’s spokesman John Rizzo has put out multiple statements in recent weeks that we now know are false. Unclear, of course, if he believed them to be true at the time.

Found this exchange from a recent interview pretty interesting as it shows Dario and Daniela Amodei dismissing the transhumanist idea of melding human minds with machines. Of course people can change, but our reporting showed that a young Dario was intrigued by this very idea. nytimes.com/2026/11/05/techn…

Some call him a doomer. Others see him as a responsible technologist. Here’s how Dario Amodei’s thinking on artificial intelligence was shaped.
