<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why we keep trusting CEOs when their incentive is just to make more money?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I feel like Dario is torn. He wants Anthropic to have this bad boy street cred of wielders of this crazy power, yet at the same time, he wants to make it seem like they are the cautious ones, always being faced with a trolley problem at every turn. Deaths from economic disruption and loss of jobs is okay, but deaths from a potential bioweapon is not. Remember this man has been saying software development will be solved in “6-12 months” forever now.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Engineers, even at big technology companies, don’t have the authority to make critical safety decisions. If an executive wants to ship self-driving software that has deadly flaws, they can just overrule any objections. Even if you take a stand and quit, the executive can just hire someone else, with no consequences for either management or the new engineer.&#8221;</p>
