The AI billionaire about to take his company public once claimed that humans would eventually merge with machines.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told a friend in 2007 that the Singularity, the moment when artificial intelligence achieves super intelligence and exceeds the ability of the human brain, would arrive by 2040, and a high school classmate claimed he was “obsessed” with building AI correctly to prevent the end of the world, the New York Times reported Thursday.
