“I’m sitting with Dario Amodei bangalore. He created Cloud, but he started out as a biologist looking for tools to cure disease. Today, he presides over an artificial intelligence revolution that he likens to a society actively ignored by a tsunami society. We discussed some heavy questions: why Anthropic secretly kept a working model before ChatGPT existed, whether artificial intelligence is on the edge of consciousness, and whether outsourcing our thinking is making humans dumber. Dalio believes that coding is a dying skill, that critical thinking is our last real advantage, and that the current absurd concentration of power in artificial intelligence is a huge problem, even though he is one of the people who wields that power,” Camas wrote on YouTube while sharing a video of the podcast.

Amodai responded: “Yes… I think if we deploy AI in the wrong way, if we deploy it carelessly, then, yes, people may become stupider.”

He continued: “Even if AI You’re always going to be better at something and you can still learn that thing, right? You can still enrich yourself intellectually. “

He said this is a choice humans must make as individual companies, individuals and societies.

Dario Amodei’s advice to young people:

When asked what skills people in this day and age should learn if they are considering starting a business or furthering their education, the technology leader said: “I would think about human-centered tasks.

“What industry would I choose other than an industry with physical interfaces?” Kamath asked. “Anything you build on artificial intelligence,” Amodai responded, noting that anything in the semiconductor space would be helpful.
