Dario Amodei publicly justifies himself and proves loyalty to Trump

Tell me, when a company head starts publicly justifying himself and explaining his political position, what does that say? Right – he’s been cornered. Anthropic founder Dario Amodei released a statement about commitment to American leadership in AI. And you know, it reads like a real defense speech.

Amodei starts by praising Vice President J.D. Vance for comments about AI. And states that Anthropic is the fastest-growing software company in history. Revenue grew from $1 to $7 billion in 9 months. Impressive, right? Further he lists all the ways the company cooperates with the Trump administration. This is a $200 million contract with the Department of War, partnership with Palantir and presence at White House events. It feels like the person is proving his loyalty.

But these are still flowers. The Anthropic founder also defends against accusations of political bias in models. He refers to a study by the conservative Manhattan Institute. Which showed that Claude Sonnet 3 and 5 are less biased than competitor models. And adds that no model is completely politically balanced. Because developers don’t fully control output data.

It’s the classic story: you build a company on principles, then publicly swear allegiance to the administration. And explain that you’re not an enemy of the people.
