[NEWS] Trump attacks Amodei by name, calls AI guardrails a 'sick conspiracy': Trump used Truth Social on Monday to single out Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over his call to slow frontier AI, writing that the administration "has stopped AI 'people' from doing bad, or potentially bad, 'things,' like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a 'perfect little angel'." He added that "the only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT." He grouped AI extinction warnings with climate change and the Russia investigation as hoaxes, and insinuated without evidence that safety advocates are "working for people that do not have the best interests of the United States in mind." Speaking in Ireland a day earlier, he had said the US is ahead of China and "whoever wins AI wins," warning against killing "the Golden Goose." Annenberg polling cuts against him: 61% of Americans oppose a data center in their community, including 54% of Republicans.
