Last October, Dario Amodei, the CEO of the AI company Anthropic, published an online pamphlet entitled Machines of Loving Grace. It’s pretty dizzying stuff. He predicts that “powerful AI” will speed up progress in biology by “10x” or even “100x”, meaning we’ll see centuries of advances in mere decades.
He foresees humans being able to live until 150 by the century’s end, and also dropped in the prospect of existential cyberwars, which would see liberal democracies fight with authoritarian regimes over control of this God-like technology.
